Test Whether Your Mattress is Properly Supporting Your Spine
Finally...the first objective way to see if your mattress really supports your spine properly. With
this patent pending new technology, you can instantly check the support of your mattress in just
seconds! With the Mattress Checker app you can use your Android, iPhone, or Tablet device to take a
picture of someone on the mattress (you could use the timer feature if you are alone or even use a
mirror for a selfie), then place 5 dots along the path of the spine from the bottom of the spine to
the top and then let the app calculate your posture spinal alignment on the mattress. You can also
compare one mattress to another to see if a mattress has no support or whether the Back Science
mattress really does align your spine and give you that perfect sleeping posture. The mattress
checker even stores your findings for comparison of your mattress to other mattresses you are
looking to purchase, making the Mattress Checker the smartest way to shop for beds! You can even
take advantage of our Free Consult and email one of our mattress experts the findings so that they
can shed some light on why your mattress problem may be occurring and offer solutions for a better
night's sleep!

A Message From Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C.,
Creator of the Mattress Checker App
Mattress Checker was created in response to all the questions I received over the years asking how an
individual can really know if a mattress is supporting their spine well. While side sleeping is the most
popular position, it also makes it easiest to determine the alignment of the spine, since a normal spine
should be straight and not laterally deviate, unless there is Scoliosis. Even if you sleep on your back
or stomach, the region of your body that will be losing support on your side will also be the same area
of weakness in the mattress when you are lying in other positions, so it can still be a useful
evaluation tool for sleepers of any position. The Mattress Checker is the first objective means of
scientifically measuring degrees of deviation in the spine that can occur from a mattress that is not
providing proper support. It can have a high degree of accuracy and precision when you use correct
visual body landmarks as you place the dots along the spine and then use the two finger zoom function to
really see the detail of where you are placing each dot and especially when you can actually see the
spine itself during the dot placement.
The other aspect of this app. that works so well is the ability to see where the spine stress points are
located, how the body is contouring to the mattress, and how well the pillow is working with your
mattress. For really assessing those last aspects, you may want to take advantage of our Free Consult
and email the results to one of our mattress experts or send it to your health practitioner. Other
mattress evaluation tools, such as pressure mapping, will work well for determining how much pressure is
being created in each area and while in certain circumstances it may be okay to allow some loss of
support in an effort to improve the comfort level by decreasing the pressure points, a prolonged
significant loss of support can have detrimental consequences that may not show up for many years. Only
the Mattress Checker will give you the ability to measure and record an objective way to ensure a proper
balance.
Wishing you a healthy night's sleep,
Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C.
