The quilted, comfortable mattress pad fits on top of your mattress and under your fitted sheet to project a north-pole field along your entire body.Standard pads are fitted with a 1" thick pad, while our Mega pads are fitted with a 2" thick pad, and each disc-shaped magnet is 3/4" diameter.Unlike all other shapes, magnetic discs create the purest most effective magnetic field, resulting in the most value and best coverage area.Magnetic lines of flux radiate in a curved shape. In square or rectangular magnets, the curved flux lines are disrupted, thereby reducing the magnetic force. These other shapes can be large, heavy magnets that look impressive but yield less magnetic force than an equal weight disc magnet.
Using disc magnets allows us to make a lighter, stronger magnetic pad. Through our construction, we keep the magnets as close to the body as possible for maximum performance and all magnets are orientated Bio-North (negative) facing the body.For those looking to ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, allergies and PMS, this magnetic mattress pad is a great fit. The north-facing magnets can produce a calming and relaxing effect on the nerves and muscles, helping you to find relief and get a better night�s sleep. No solvent-based adhesives are used in these magnetic mattress pads, so they can be safely used by environmentally sensitive individuals.Our fabric is a top quality Damask material which is quilted to polyester fiber, and the magnets are nestled carefully in valleys of convoluted finger foam.To add to your rejuvenating night�s sleep, consider our magnetic pillow pad. Made with the healing powers of magnetic therapy in mind, our magnetic mattress pad showcases a luxurious design that is the ultimate in both comfort and quality.
Slip the pillow pad into the pillow case and let the mattress pad rest under your sheets for a more restful, relaxing, and therapeutic sleep.Sizes and Specifications:Standard Pads are 1" thick and have 3/4" diameter magnets.

Thanks for your patience! Users who thank RichT for this post: This post has been removed because it did not meet our Community Guidelines.The jury is still out on whether a firm or soft mattress is the best option for people whose back pain keeps them up at night. That said, most health experts in the know say the choice is yours—that the mattress that makes you feel most comfortable is likely your best option.
And what does research say so far? That medium firmness seems to yield the most painless sleep.For example, The Lancet published the results of a randomized controlled trial that assessed 313 people who had a backache while in bed and when they got up. The researchers randomly placed participants onto either a firm mattress or a medium firm mattress, and after 90 days evaluated them for pain reduction and disability.The medium firm mattress won. Study participants in the medium firm mattress group had significantly less pain and disability throughout the study compared to participants in the firm mattress group. Here’s what the researchers had to say:Dr. Michael Perry, medical director of the Laser Spine Institute in Tampa, Fla., agrees that a medium firm mattress is generally the way to go. But he firmly (no pun intended) adds that one size does not fit all in the choosing of a mattress by those with spine pain. A number of other factors play a role, as well, he says.Selecting the mattress that’s best suited to your spinal condition is about more than just how hard or soft the item is, Perry says.
You (and your doctor) need to consider your medical history in some detail, so that you can tailor your purchase to your needs.Before purchasing a mattress, Perry recommends asking yourself the following questions: What medical conditions do you have? What is your current diagnosis or diagnoses? What, if anything, have you been treated for previously? It makes a difference. For example, symptoms of spinal stenosis tend to present themselves when you are standing and walking, but not when you are lying down. For this reason, the question of mattress firmness is not a big issue in people with spinal stenosis only. If this is you, choose a mattress that makes you feel comfortable.But if you have degeneration along with your stenosis, that’s a different matter, Perry says. In this case, or if you have spinal arthritis without stenosis, disc problems or non-specific back pain, you do need to consider the relative firmness or softness of your mattress. “People with these conditions do better with more support, i.e. a firmer mattress,” Perry says.
Perry also says that while everyone needs some support when they sleep, people who have undergone multiple back surgeries often need less, relatively speaking. After several surgeries, the tissues have been altered and may be stiffer, he says. In this case, a softer mattress may be more comfortable. Dr. Perry warns that mattress springs break down over time, which makes your bed softer. “This can aggravate a patient’s back,” he tells me.Based on this, does it makes sense for you to get a new mattress, or can you reduce pain and stiffness with your old one? While this is likely to vary among individuals, medical research may help shed some light on the question:A study done in Oklahoma and published in Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics measured the pain, spine stiffness, and quality of sleep in 22 adults to whom they gave a “prescribed” (and new) bedding system for 28 days. When they compared the ratings with participants’ ratings of their personal bedding systems for the same amount of time, they found that the prescribed bedding systems helped to improve all three measures significantly.
What position do you usually sleep in? This makes a difference in the type of support you need from your bed. Dr. Perry has some recommendations for back sleepers, side sleepers (whom he calls fetal position sleepers), and stomach sleepers:The same group of Oklahoma researchers mentioned above did another study that affirms Perry’s assertions. The study, which was published in Applied Ergonomics in 2010, involved 27 patients with low back pain and stiffness upon arising.Researchers divided the participants up according to their usual sleep position. Participants were assigned to a medium firm mattress with combination of foam and latex layering that was based on their preferred positioning choice - choices that correspond to Perry's descriptions as noted above. The participants were rated for sleep comfort and quality every day for three months.The researchers found that the patients’ back pain and stiffness improved with the new mattresses. For this reason, they concluded that sleep surfaces do relate to sleep discomfort and that it is possible to reduce your pain by replacing your mattress with one uniquely suitable to your particular spinal condition.
