BIOPOSTURE^TM SLEEP TIPS FOR BETTER SLEEP MONTH

According to most sleep experts, human beings should experience seven to eight hours of sound sleep a day.  The reality is that many people do not get the sleep they need to help them feel refreshed in the morning.  May, proclaimed Better Sleep Month by the nonprofit Better Sleep Council, is the month when emphasis will be placed on the need for each person to develop and maintain a healthy, sound sleep pattern.  BioPosture^TM, a leading manufacturer of mattresses and pillows made of BioMemoryFoam™, bamboo blend covers and recycled materials, has chiropractor-recommended tips to help people get better and more healthy nights of sleep.

BioPosture^TM mattresses are sold in the United States and Canada through a network of Doctors of Chiropractics, who are professionals who understand the negative impact poor sleep habits can have on individuals.

The following are five tips developed by the BioPosture^TM Chiropractic Advisory Group which is comprised of seven of the nation’s leading doctors of chiropractic to help individuals get a  more restful sleep:

(1) The most important tip for getting more restful sleep is your mattress.  Does the mattress provide the appropriate level of back and neck support and comfort?  Mattresses more than five years old may be worn out and lose their resilience and their ability to provide the appropriate support.

(2) Find the right pillow.  Pillows need to be supportive and be the proper height for back or side-sleeping.  Pillows also need to be comfortable or you will tend to avoid using them.  In terms of posture, sleeping on your back or side is recommended by most chiropractors.  Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended.

(3) It is best to establish a regular bedtime and a regular wake-up time. Go to bed at the same time or within a few minutes of the same time every night.  And arise each morning at the same time.  If this is difficult, try to “reset” an ideal sleep cycle.  This can be done by going to bed fifteen minutes earlier than the night before, continue this until the ideal time bedtime is reached. 

(4) Try not to nap more than a half-hour during the day and never after 3pm.  Lengthy or late naps can prevent the ability to get the proper amount of sleep during the night.

(5) Darken the bedroom completely and make sure that it is neither too hot nor too cold.

Meagan Newman of Tampa, Florida has been named sales director for BioPosture^TM, the manufacturers of eco-friendly BioPosture BioMemoryFoam™ mattresses and pillows.  Ms. Newman will be interfacing with chiropractors to familiarize them with the advantages and health benefits of BioPosture^TM products for their patients.  BioPosture^TM mattresses are available to consumers exclusively through Doctors of Chiropractic who are members of the BioPosture^TM Chiropractic Network in the United States and Canada.  

Chiropractors were consulted when the BioPosture^TM mattress was being designed, because of their training and expertise in spinal alignment and the biomechanics of the human body.  Each BioPosture^TM mattress is constructed with proprietary plant-based BioMemoryFoam™ to provide patients with unmatched, cool sleeping comfort, and a seven-zone patented Neutral Posture Support SystemTM to give lateral body support that helps to enhance treatment outcomes.  

Ms. Newman is meeting with chiropractors who manage and treat patients with sleep issues as well as back and neck pain, headaches, sports and other injuries.  As members of Florida’s health-care delivery system, chiropractors are interested in introducing patients to products that support healthy living and restful sleep.  Recommending mattresses and pillows allows chiropractors to create additional profit centers in their practices.

Made on order in the USA, BioPosture^TM mattresses and pillows possess many “green” features to benefit chiropractors who share an interest with patients in including eco-friendly products in the home environment.  Recently BioPosture^TM increased its product offerings with a line of BioMemoryFoam™ pillows.   This pillow program comes to participating doctors with a FREE pillow display suitable for waiting rooms.  

“Meagan is a high energy individual who understands our product line and most importantly our business partners, Doctors of Chiropractic.  Our business is already being positively impacted by her efforts,” said Tom Williams, BioPosture^TM CEO.

Meagan grew up in Tampa and pursued her degree in marketing at the University of Florida in Jacksonville.  “My father, Dr. Craig Newman, has been a chiropractor here in Florida for nearly 30 years. I am aware of the importance of chiropractic care and the benefits of health and restful sleep.  I have already established a strong rapport with a number of chiropractors who are very interested in the BioPosture^TM   product line.  I am sure many of them will become active members of the BioPosture^TM Chiropractic Network and will recommend BioPosture^TM mattresses and pillows.  This will allow them to offer their patients additional health benefits while adding a new and strong revenue stream to their practices,” Meagan Newman said.

BioPosture^TM, the leading provider of chiropractor-referred BioMemoryFoam™ mattresses and pillows, and members of the BioPosture^TM Chiropractic Network, are participating in a program targeted at meeting one of the most crucial basic needs of the Haitian people –a comfortable and dry place to rest.  The earthquake disaster took over two hundred thousand Haitian lives and left over a million others without food, clothing and shelter.  The need for the survivors to have food, shelter and rest is paramount to their health and well being, and the ultimate recovery of the small island nation.  Chiropractors in the BioPosture^TM Network across the United States are helping in this mission by supporting efforts to supply WorldBeds to Haiti.  One WorldBed, a transitional and portable sleep pad made from eco-friendly memory foam, will be donated to the Haitian relief effort when a chiropractor becomes a new member of the Network or when a Network chiropractor completes the sale of a BioPosture^TM mattress or purchases a BioPosture^TM pillow display for their practice before June 30, 2010.  BioPosture's^TM manufacturing partner, Anatomic Global, Inc., has set a goal of supplying 200,000 WorldBeds to Haiti.

“Our network chiropractors are health care professionals who understand how important rest and sleep is to human beings.  In their practices, they often recommend mattresses and pillows to their patients who have sleep issues. They realize a critical situation exists in Haiti, and they want to help make this drive to ship the WorldBeds to Haiti a humanitarian success.  These cot-sized mattresses are covered with rugged nylon and vinyl to resist moisture, and they can be rolled up and each one has a carry strap.  It’s important to get them to Haiti before the rainy season begins,” said Tom Williams CEO of BioPosture^TM.

The WorldBed, manufactured by Anatomic Global, Inc., is leading the effort to provide the cot-size mattresses to victims in Haiti.  The company saw the need for this type of program and product after observing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

Chiropractors interested in supporting this program should call (877) 246-1510 or visit www.bioposture.com.   Individuals who would like to learn more about supporting the WorldBed program should visit http://worldbed.org.

According to a recent New England Journal of Medicine study, about two-thirds of adults experience low-back pain at any given time.  What’s more, a National Institutes of Health fact sheet states that back pain affects most adults at some stage in their life and accounts for more sick leave and disability than any other single medical condition.

In response to this overwhelming data, Sleep Analytics, Inc., a New York-based company has just finished developing and has brought to market a new eco-friendly mattress exclusively available through Doctors of Chiropractic to help their patients sleep more comfortably and experience important health benefits, including fewer morning aches and pains.

Through individual agreements with a network of Chiropractors in the United States and Canada, Sleep Analytics, Inc., of New York has announced that  it is marketing BioPosture^TM, a proprietary line of mattresses (with a patented feature) and pillows manufactured using 100% natural plant-based BioMemoryFoam™.
BioPosture^TM products are made with the environment in mind. They are covered in a bamboo-blend fabric.  Bamboo is a rapidly renewable material that also provides natural antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial protection.  BioPosture^TM mattresses are made to order, and then roll-compressed and delivered via UPS in biodegradable shipping duffels, dramatically reducing their overall transport carbon footprint.

“Chiropractors often treat patients with headaches, fatigue, back, joint and muscle pain,” said Thomas Williams, Sleep Analytics President and CEO.  “Many of these problems can directly relate to individual sleep habits and environments.  Our proprietary production-process BioPosture^TM mattresses and pillows have been formulated to address these issues.”  

To preserve air quality, BioMemoryFoam™ is manufactured without halogens in “zero-emissions chambers.”  The two top comfort layers of every BioPosture^TM mattress feature the most open-cell foam construction available on the market, providing unmatched breathe-ability avoiding the common complaint that memory foam mattresses sleep hot.”

“BioPosture^TM products help individuals sleep in natural balance, leading to overall improvements in health,” said Dr. Louis E. Bisogni, a New York-based Chiropractor.  “People with joint sensitivity due to arthritis and other conditions benefit from the BioMemoryFoam™ that adapts perfectly to body contours,” he explained.

Dr. Bisogni is a certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner who throughout his career has treated and continues to treat a variety of professional sports figures.  He is also the owner and director of Bisogni Chiropractic Center in White Plains and Bisogni Chiropractic and Sports Care in Somers, N.Y.   In addition, Dr. Bisogni is the Chairman of the BioPosture^TM Professional Advisory Board and provides counsel to Sleep Analytics regarding product development and marketing.

“The patented Neutral Posture Support System™ in each BioPosture^TM mattress is constructed with seven distinct zones of lateral support that ensure anatomically correct spine alignment.  Additional support in the lumbar region greatly reduces tossing and turning, resulting in a better night’s sleep.  The importance of sleep is being demonstrated more and more in clinical research studies,” added Dr. Bisogni.  

BioPosture^TM mattresses are available exclusively through a network of approved Doctors of Chiropractic by calling 1-877-246-1510 or by visiting www.bioposture.com. The Queen Bio10 mattress (10” profile) is priced at $1,995, which includes UPS delivery.  This figure is approximately 15% below the cost of the leading memory foam brand.
