What is SAT?
SAT® stands for Self Adjusting Technology. It is a revolutionary new technology utilized in a mattress system that dynamically responds to a person's body weight to provide the lowest possible interface pressures regardless of body weight, shape or size without the use of electrical motors, pumps or sensors.

How does this revolutionary new self adjusting technology work?
The Natural Form®is made up of a series of independent cylinders equipped with patented pressure relieving air valves. These valves automatically monitor, regulate and optimally maintain the correct air pressure inside each cylinder. The valves are precisely calibrated to adjust to each individual regardless of body weight, type or shape. Each cylinder independently adjusts to take the maximum pressure off the prominent pressure points of your body. As you move across the surface, the proper volume of air is released and as you roll over, the cylinders refill themselves. By harnessing the atmosphere as an abundant resource of free energy, we are able to create a dynamic surface that adjusts perfectly to the contours of your body.

What's the difference between a supportive and firm mattress?
A supportive mattress is one that is able to give support in the small of the neck, the lumbar area in the small of the back and behind the knees. A firm mattress such as an inner spring mattress is not able to conform to the unique curvature of the body. Instead, your body conforms to the mattress. A firm, hard sleep surface is actually non-supportive. The body has curves that form bridges just like the arch in your feet. What would happen if there was no arch support in your shoes? We all know the answer and it doesn't take a medical study to prove the results!

Your mattress should conform to you instead of you conforming to it. On a hard, firm, "board like" mattress that does not conform to the body, the hips and shoulders are pushed up, forcing the body out of alignment. Instead, the mattress should conform to you, allowing the body to sink into it, slightly caressing and cuddling you, supporting and filling into the small parts of the body or the bridges (arches). Comfort also comes from conformity allowing for a more restful nights sleep. Conformity allows for better weight distribution which means less pressure on any particular part of the body.

Why is it so important to sleep on an anatomically supportive mattress rather than a firm mattress?
When lying on your back, support is critical in the Cervical Lordosis (neck area), Lumbar Lordosis (lower back area) and even behind the knees. Most people are unable to sleep on their back due to little or no support in the low lumbar region. However, sleeping on your back is the healthiest possible position to sleep. On your back, we distribute your body weight across the widest surface of your body. This minimizes pressure points placing your spinal system along with your internal organs in proper alignment. If the mattress doesn't fill into these areas, giving proper support, then the spine is forced into an unnatural position. This can cause a pinching of the disc by the vertebrae. In between each vertebrae there is a "cushion" material called a disc. These "plastic" discs are made of sponge-like material and revive themselves at night, by absorbing water and nutrients while you are sleeping so they can do their job during the day. True orthopedic support while you are sleeping means maintaining proper spinal alignment.
