THE ULTIMATE PREGNANCY MATTRESS The challenges of pregnancy can cause uncomfortable sleep for a variety of reasons — that change as your body changes. DUX is designed to evolve with you. Our component system easily reconfigures to compensate for your body changes during pregnancy — and back again, making the DUX Bed an ideal pregnancy mattress. PREGNANCY AND BACK PAIN Back pain is almost assured during pregnancy — studies show between 50 to 70 percent of all pregnant women will suffer pain in their lower back. As the weight of the fetus increases, your center of gravity shifts forward. To compensate for this shift in your posture, you naturally lean back, placing stress on the muscles in your lower back, which can lead to soreness and pain. And back muscles don’t necessarily go to sleep when you do — they can stay tense if your mattress doesn’t provide proper, continuous support. Your muscles may never have a chance to relax and heal, leaving you to toss and turn at night.
PASCAL® OUR CUSTOMIZABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM Our patented Pascal Cassette System sets DUX apart from every other bed on the market. Comprised of interchangeable components, our Pascal System lets you custom configure its parts to match the exact requirements of your individual body size and weight — and to change them when you change. HOW IT WORKS >> Adapting DUX to your body as it changes couldn’t be easier. Simply unzip the bed top — underneath, you’ll find a trio of cassettes that provide separate support zones for the shoulders, hips and legs. As you transition through the stages of pregnancy and your body continues to change in shape and weight, you will quickly learn that the best mattress for pregnancy is one that can easily be reconfigured to match your evolving needs. And when your body returns to its prior form, simply reverse the process. DUX features a unique, interconnected spring system that adjusts itself to the weight and shape of your body.
It moves as you move. It conforms to your changing contours, providing continuous, dynamic support along every point of your body. DUX's patented spring system is flexible enough to let your shoulders and hips sink in, yet resilient enough to rise up and support your lower back. Vital pressure points — especially your spine — are supported in the most ergonomically healthy positions possible, letting your blood circulate freely while your muscles completely relax. DUX, FROM THE BOTTOM, UP Our bottom layer of springs provides deep suspension. This section absorbs and distributes weight so the bed remains stable when you or your partner move about. The middle spring layer delivers continuous lumbar support while rising up to conform to the contours of your body. The penultimate layer of a DUX bed is comprised of our customizable Pascal Cassettes. Each cassette is selected to correspond to your individual needs. Our plush Top Pad forms the upper-most layer of a DUX bed.

Sleep is just one of the things that can be affected. The first trimester The little life inside you has only just made itself known and yet for some reason you're so exhausted. All that you've read says you wont be sleeping much in the first year your child is born, so it seems a little unfair that you're not able to sleep now either. At such an important time in your baby's growth it's crucial you're rested and healthy. Ensuring you don't drink too many fluids close to your bedtime is beneficial, as is exercising early on in the day. What is particularly important though, is taking a regularly planned afternoon nap. Ensuring that you have a properly supportive mattress for this is a must. In this article we'll take a look at the best options to guarantee you a restful sleep throughout pregnancy.
How to sleep If you're a stomach sleeper make the most of this position whilst you can, as soon your growing belly will make it impossible. It's generally recommended that you sleep on your left hand side as this position helps blood and nutrients to flow to your baby and womb and helps your kidneys get rid of waste and fluids. THE SECOND TRIMESTER At this stage your body has become more accustomed to being pregnant, but there are still certain issues. Heartburn as the baby leans on the stomach can be aggravated as you lie down, and leg cramps and vivid dreams can all disrupt your sleep. Eating lighter foods towards the end of the day, avoiding spicy foods and staying upright for a few hours after eating can help to ease some of the heartburn that you're suffering from. At this stage in your pregnancy the pressure of your baby's weight in your body may be making you feel uncomfortable and the only way to relieve this is by having the best possible support. A soft mattress is recommended to take some of the strain away from your body and permit you a restful sleep.
