Our Top 10 Ways To Beat Back Pain

Balanced Posture & Core Fitness

The Humantool is for those who want to beat back pain by getting fitter rather than by supporting their back. It's a modern ergonomic approach for reversing the damage that static ergonomic sitting is known to cause.

The Mattress we Developed for Those with Back Pain

The BackInAction Memory Foam Mattress

After 25 years working with back pain sufferers we knew what was needed. We used that experience to create a mattress that has been a huge success over the last 6 years. 

  • Supportive, pressure relieving but also easy to move around on.

Why is it so successful?  Not just because of the quality of support, but because it's important for back pain sufferers (and actually everyone else too) to be able to vary positions throughout the night. Changing position helps to reduce inflammation, decrease joint stiffness and alleviate nighttime aches.

The Backinaction Mattress is made of carefully selected layered foam that allows pressure relief, support AND easy movement.

  • Installed for you with our 60 night trial.
  • Available to test out for yourself in all our showrooms.
