What is a zero gravity bed and how do they ease sleep apnea and back pain?

Zero gravity bed base within bed frame in light room with two wooden cylinder bedside tables, wooden floor, cream rug, plant and big windows.

A zero gravity bed is an adjustable bed base that allows you to elevate your head, shoulders and legs into a position that mimics the feeling of weightlessness. A NASA-approved sleep hack, the zero gravity position distributes body weight evenly to relieve pressure on the spine, neck and hips.

The zero gravity position sounds like something associated with space, and that’s because it is. NASA first developed this position to reduce the impact on astronauts' bodies during take-off. It is now used by people who have back pain, heartburn, sleep apnea, painful joints and other issues that sabotage sleep.
