The Quest for The Perfect Sleep Surface
Throughout history we have tried it all: piles of blankets, horse hair, wooden boards,
hammocks, laces of ropes, wads of cotton, steel springs, water bags, air bladders.
Nothing gave us the comfortable cradling of pressure points and proper support our
necks, shoulders and back required. With each old technology we were forced to make
a choice - we could have either cradling or alignment, but not both. Sometimes neither....
In modern times mattress manufacturers have spent millions of dollars to find the
solution, without success. Finally in 1997 inventors struck sleep gold and gel cushioning
was born.
Put to immediate use relieving pressure for medical patients, the elderly, and burn
victims, Gel has become an indispensable product in sleep surfaces for critical
care patients, wheel chair seats, artificial limb cushioning, and numerous other
products.
For eleven years this state of the art technology was available for the medical
industry and high-end consumer beds, but the high cost of the gel product and heaviness
of gel made it impractical for home use.
The inventors at NexGel™ knew there was an answer - they created a patented 'foamed'
variant of the polymers pioneered in old-technology gel in patented OrthoGel. Lighter
and more economical, OrthoGel makes the life-changing properties of gel sleep available
to millions without sacrificing any of its superb cradling, support, and alignment.
