Australian Physiotherapy Association Endorsment

The Simmons BackCare range has been endorsed and tested by the APA as the recommended sleep system for the maintainance of correct spinal alignment and client health and well being.

We all lead active lifestyles more than ever before. We are also concerned about taking care of our bodies and reducing aches and pains.
The Simmons BackCare sleep set is built the way your back is built, designed to help support the natural shape of your spine while you sleep, what physicians call "Position of Function" or natural position.
The unique Five Zones sleep system supports the five zones of the human anatomy to help promote comfort, restfulness and overall well being.

Causes of Interrupted Sleep: Your mattress plays a bigger role than you think

In today's society, we're always on the go. People are working longer hours, and our stress levels are higher. We're eating fast food and hoping we make it to the gym. Whatever goes through our bodies and minds throughout the day, goes to bed with us. We all need to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

  • Below are the 5 main causes of interrupted sleep:
    • Sleep Environment
    • Mental Stress
    • Diet and Exercise
    • Tossing and Turning*
    • Physical Stress*

The mattress you sleep on can impact these problems.

  • There are several reasons why people don't get quality sleep. Simmons cares how you sleep. That's why we created Simmons BackCare. Did you know that the spine's natural S-shape when standing should be maintained during sleep? Incorrect spinal support can contribute to stress, interrupted sleep and back pain. The Simmons BackCare was specially designed with the Five Zones sleep system to correctly support the spine while sleeping and to help with "Physical Stress". Simmons BackCare may be the solution to better sleep.

Physical Stress: It can make waking up a nightmare

Do you wake up with morning back pain? Did you ever think that your mattress might be contributing to it? Sleeping with your spine properly aligned helps you reduce stress and maintain rejuvenating sleep.

  • Today, 80% of the adult population will see a physiotherapist for back pain.
    The vast majority of the population doesn't appreciate that things can go on in sleep that affect daytime health dramatically...it's not like parking your car in the garage for 8 hours and coming back to find it the same way the next day.
  • Simmons BackCare helps reduce physical stress while sleeping. Below are 2 print-outs from an Ergocheck machine, which is used to measure pressure points. There are 3 keys areas highlighted below: Shoulders, Lumbar and Hips. As you can see, the shoulder area on the Traditional Open Coil Mattress shows a greater red area, which indicates that there is more stress on the shoulders compared to the Simmons BackCare. On the Simmons BackCare, the Lumbar region is completely supported where on the Traditional Open Coil Mattress, the Lumbar region doesn't even touch the bed. Lastly, the hips region on the Traditional Open Coil Mattress is dark blue showing more pressure than that of a Simmons BackCare. Overall, Simmons BackCare had less harmful pressure points.
