Gravitas® Inclined Sleeping
From outer space to your bedroom
The inclined sleeping concept
With the SAMINA Gravitas® inclined sleeping system, we have developed a sleep-promoting concept that has a positive effect on sleep and health by utilising gravity. Our sleep psychologist Prof. Dr med. h.c. Günther W. Amann-Jennson developed the SAMINA Gravitas® concept in collaboration with Prof. Dr Karl Hecht, who was head of sleep medicine at the renowned Charité hospital in Berlin and worked in space medicine for 30 years, taking into account international research findings from astronautics and space travel.
Nature as a role model
If we take a closer look at the animal world, we quickly realise that animals sleep in a wide variety of sleeping positions, with the exception of the horizontal sleeping position. If the head is above the heart, which is responsible for ensuring that sufficient blood is pumped into the head despite gravity, the pressure responsible for arterial blood transport is reduced.
The effects of weightlessness on the human body
Many years of research in aerospace medicine have shown that the absence of gravity has a negative impact on health and fitness. NASA scientist Dr Joan Vernikos described the effects of the absence of gravity on the human body in her book "Sitting Kills, Moving Heals". The absence of gravity can have a particular effect on body rhythm and body regulation processes.
Sleeping in an inclined position means that the head is higher than the feet. This can prevent many complaints such as migraines. Sleeping at an angle at night is of particular interest to people who are active in sports, as it optimises the flow of energy and strength. The improved blood circulation also effectively counteracts night-time chills.
Sleeping at an angle can...
-
reduce snoring
-
help against sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS)
-
weaken reflux diseases
-
help to lower blood pressure
The right sleeping environment for better health
The SAMINA Gravitas® ADRIANO bed frame was specially developed for the innovative inclined bed concept and is made from high-quality materials. The ADRIANO solid wood bed frame not only impresses with its functional design and simple elegance, but also allows easy adjustment to the desired lying angle. The ADRIANO frame completely dispenses with the use of metal and therefore guarantees a completely metal-free sleeping experience.
