If your mattress can't be adjusted to support
the extra weight during pregnancy, your body
can sink into a hammock position, causing
pressure on your lower back and spine.

DUX and pregnancy

Short On Sleep.
Long On Labor. 

Did You Know?

A study by researchers from the University of California at San Francisco found that women who slept fewer than 6 hours per-night had longer labors and were 4.5 times more likely to have cesarean deliveries. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend that doctors discuss both sleep quantity and sleep quality with their pregnant patients.

Duxiana - Better Sleep for Pregnancy

The Best Sleep Position

It is commonly accepted that pregnant women should sleep on their side, with their knees and hips bent, and a pillow between the knees to alleviate lower back pressure. Also, sleeping on your left side improves the flow of blood and nutrients to your fetus as well as to your uterus and kidneys. Try to avoid lying on your back for extended periods of time.

Dynamic Support

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:  

1

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. 

2

The middle spring layer delivers continuous lumbar support while rising up to conform to the contours of your body.

 3

The penultimate layer of a DUX bed is comprised of our customizable Pascal Cassettes. Each cassette is selected to correspond to your individual needs.

4

Our plush Top Pad forms the upper-most layer of a DUX bed. Utilizing latex harvested from the Hevea rubber trees, and cased in pure, long-fiber cotton.
