Medical experts recommend head and/or leg elevation for numerous health-related problems.

Head elevation is proven to help those suffering from acid reflux, hietal hernia and indigestion, all conditions that often become exacerbated while lying flat. It has also been shown through clinical studies that head elevation is good for those suffering from congestive heart failure. Symptoms associated with sinus, allergies and nasal congestion can also be alleviated through head elevation.

Leg elevation is great for those suffering from edema, or swelling. Raising the legs to the heart level improves blood flow and reduces the effects of swelling. It’s also great for minimizing the effects of varicose veins.

The 120-degree angled position places the body in its most relaxed state, where the heart and nervous system have to do the least amount of work to pump blood through the body. NASA astronauts assume this stress-free position for lift-off, minimizing physical stress on their bodies.

Elevated Head

Aids and comforts those who suffer from acid reflux, hietal hernia and indigestion.

Eases nasal congestion and relieves sinus pressure for those. suffering from colds, asthma or allergies.

Back Max® Positions Arched Position:
When lying on your stomach, the Contour BackMax relieves strain and tension on the low back by allowing the spine to maintain its natural curve, so that back muscles relax.

Leg Elevation:
Comforts and supports swollen legs and facilitates lower body circulation. The rounded edge gently supports the knees, allowing calf muscles to relax. Helps relieve pressure on the lower spine so that muscles can relax.

Leg Elevation with Foot Rest:
Enjoy all of the same benefits offered with the leg elevation position but add the foot rest to elevate feet; comforts and supports swollen feet.

Upright Seated Position:
Fold the three cushions into each other to form a back support wedge that follows the natural curve of your spine for superior comfort and support. Great position for reading, watching TV, eating, nursing, etc.

Elevated Head Position:
Helps those who suffer from gastro-intestinal problems to rest and relax more comfortably. Doctors often recommend head elevation for those suffering from nasal congestion; it may allow them to rest more comfortably than they might be on a flat surface.

 Zero-Gravity Position:
Places the body in a 120 degree angled “zero-stress zone” to help relieve low back strain and tension, allowing muscles and ligaments in the lumbar region to relax. NASA astronauts are seated in the “zero-gravity” position to minimize pressure on the body during lift-off.

The Back Max is made up of three separate pieces: The backrest, knee support and footrest that join by zippers. The pieces can be used individually or together in many ways to support your body.
