What Does It Do? Mechanisms and Benefits.

First, Omni-Pendulum or “Floating Motion” recreates the safe motion that we felt in the uterine environment, gently float-ing inside our mother’s womb. Nature selected this motion to calm babies. This motion has positive effects on the limbic, circulatory, and other systems. It reduces stress during what is otherwise a long, claustrophobic, confined, motionless state. Rocking is a natural, healthy anesthetic and sleep aid. It recreates the memory and the benefits of that peaceful time.

Floating activates a deep, powerful relaxation response. After babies are born, mothers automatically rock them from head to toe, re-creating the floating motion. Every mother intuitively knows that rocking is good for a baby. There are many reasons for this universal instinctive human behavior. But science has now found that rocking is good for adults too.

Rocking increases blood and most importantly, lymphatic circulation. We all know that blood brings nutrients to the cells; fewer know that the lymphatic system is the drain system, which carries the toxins away. But lymphatic circulation is driven by motion, not by your heart. People without enough motion or who are bed-ridden quickly develop serious health problems. Western medicine recognizes this. For example, standard surgical recovery procedure for patients is to get up and move around as soon as possible, even if they are feeble and totally in pain. Rocking speeds recovery without pain. In fact, rocking actually feels good! Soreness, back pain, swelling, etc, diminish noticeably right away, in the first minutes of rocking. You feel much more relaxed than you would feel if you were simply lying down. This is because the increased drainage immediately promotes health several ways. For example, it reduces back pressure and subliminal swelling, which allows the muscles to stretch & relax further. Rocking creates a pumping action that increases circulation between spinal discs and other joints, bathing your cells in fresh nutrients. The nervous system recognizes this and sends signals of pleasure, to encourage you to continue.

To illustrate, the plumbing system in your body is very similar to the one in your home. Your blood, under pressure, pumps nutrients into the cells, just as the faucet water under pressure enters the sink. So far, so good. However, if gravity were to stop, your sink would stop draining, and overflow. This is exactly what happens to your cells when you stop moving; they fill up and overflow with toxins, until you move again. Because your body’s drain system, the lymphatic system, has no pump, it depends on motion (instead of gravity like your sink) for elimination. Without motion, you will die.

The more motion you get, the better. Gentle motion at night provides the best sleep, less stiffness in the morning, and demonstrably better health. Other studies show that rocking reduces overall stress, and even improves dreams.

Next, rocking cures motion sickness. How? It is possible that rocking puts accumulated stationary toxins in motion and sweeps them out, or some-thing similar. Whatever the specifics, it is known that children rarely have motion sensitivity. Yet it is found in many adults, and gets worse with age, unless the individual takes steps to cure it.

Ironically, most adults who develop motion sensitivity react by avoiding motion, though motion is actually is the proven cure. Rocking is the primary form of Vestibular Motion Therapy. Omni-pendulum motion has been used for this purpose for over 500 years. You can control the swing, and it is the most painless way known to cure motion sickness.

Other benefits are being found at the frontiers of science. For example, chronic pain, suffering, and disease are usually associated with reduced oxygen at the cellular level. Your cells get adequate oxygen only after the lymphatic vessels remove blood proteins and water. This is required to activate the sodium-potassium pumps within the cells, which generate the electricity to run your body and nervous system. Rocking promotes this electrochemistry, increasing overall health, energy, and alertness. Motion increases learning. It increases communication between the brain hemispheres and helps balance them. There is evidence of physiological and psychological benefits for people with autism, ADD, & other health issues.

During rocking, lymphatic circulation increases while the body is in a relaxed physical, emotional, and mental state. This is a very positive condition for healing. Modern sedentary life is deficient in motion, which our ancestors got through activity. The more motion the better, for overall health.

More about Omni-Pendulum Motion
This is the most simple, stable, predictable motion, and the only motion suitable for a bed or for relaxing. Why?

If you watch an old-style hanging bed, with 4 ropes and 4 ceiling hooks, it lurches, in a flat, side-to-side, complex trajectory. Worse, inertia tries to keep you still, as the bed tries to move out from under you,horizontally. You are tossed around, moving opposite from the bed’s motion, instead of with it.The mind knows this is an unstable and possibly dangerous motion, and will not allow your bodyto relax. That is a design mistake, and it explains why hanging beds never became popular before.

In contrast, the new Omni-Pendulum Bed arcs up smoothly as it swings and holds you perfectly in place. You are not tossed around. Thanks to the arc, you move with the bed, almost unaware of the motion. You will not fall out. (Not even if the bed could do an entire 360° overhead loop!) Scientifically, we say the centrifugal & centripetal forces are equal. It is the only “safe” motion, and your mind instantly knows it. You automatically relax in a way that you will not with other motion.

These reactions are genetically programmed into our minds & our bodies. Everyone has this “ah-ha”experience on The Floating Bed. Even if you do not understand why, you instantly relax more deeply.

Is there a catch?
Yes. You must get one, it has to be installed, and it takes space. After that, it’s all good news. You get better sleepand health benefits, at no additional cost, 8 hours a night,for the rest of your life. And you will feel better every day. .

Reports from Users
Floating Bed owners say they fall asleep faster, deeper, have better sleep, and better dreams. Upon awaking, they feel more refreshed. They enter activity with less stiffness and other negative residual effects from sleep and immobility. Some report needing less sleep. They say it feels great.

The Floating Bed has been featured on many TV shows, such as Jay Leno, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and American Inventor. They are also being enjoyed by many people in their homes, at hotels, and health spas worldwide.

Where can I put it?
The bedroom is a great choice.But there are many ways to enjoy floating, even if you cannot dedicate a bedroom, or every night to it. People put them in the living room, porch,or elsewhere as a sofa, as an occasional bed, guest bed, or nap bed.

Even a short five minute rest on a Floating Bed will make you feel muchbetter, because your circulation continues. In contrast, if you try a fiveminute nap on an old-fashioned bed, you often feel groggy or worse.

Memory Foam? That is the sole reason many bed companies claim their beds are better. We offer it too; but Memory Foam is one modest feature in the list of reasons to have a Floating Bed.Installation uncertainty or questions? Yes, we can help with that too. There is more to say about other benefits, the unique construction, and how the details worktogether to provide the best sleeping experience. There are also totally “green” Floating Beds.
