“A man is as young as his spinal column. If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old. If it is flexible at 60, you are young.”

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical advice — affecting up to 80% of the population at some point in life. The Demko bed-system is an award-winning innovation created to support spinal alignment, relieve tension, and prevent both acute and chronic back problems. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing long-term discomfort, or simply caring for your spine as you age, the system is designed to meet you where you are.
What makes it different? The system goes far beyond what conventional beds, memory foam, or spring mattresses can offer — combining clinical insight with ergonomic movement to bring lasting relief and restorative sleep, at any age.
“Training as a para dressage athlete takes its toll on my body. Consequently, rest and recovery is paramount to my success in the saddle. Replacing my bed and mattress for a Demko bed and bed-system has given me the comfortable nights sleep that I so desperately craved. This is without a doubt the best bed I have ever slept on!”
Amanda Shirtcliffe, Para Dressage Rider
Because the human body is flexible, your bed should be too. The Demko bed-system uses a slatted base that moves with your body in three dimensions — vertically, sideways, and rotationally. Made from strong white beech slats and connected with flexible foam strips, it adjusts naturally to your unique shape, weight, and sleeping position.
No matter how you move, the support follows — maintaining spinal alignment, evenly distributing weight, and relieving tension along the entire back. This encourages the spine to decompress during sleep, reducing pressure on vertebral discs and improving circulation throughout the body.
The vertebral discs will take up the optimal position during sleep avoiding their degeneration. Importantly, decreasing the load strain and thereby ensuring that no harmful tension points develop. The Demko bed-system evenly distributes the weight on the bones, the ligaments, the muscles linking them. As well as on the muscles surrounding the spine and the area around the joints. As a consequence, the blood supply will be perfect as will be the removal of inter-tissue waste material through the veins and lymph vessels. At the same time the slat base also stretches the spine longitudinally, moving the vertebrae and articular discs away from each other. The arteries are straightened out and the local blood pressure will decrease and supply of nutrition to the articular discs will increase.
“After permanent use of the Demko bed-system in the above mentioned conditions the need for drug use, as supported by previous clinical surveys, has dropped considerably or even ceased and planned surgeries have become avoidable.”
“The qualities of the Demko bed-system not only prevent the further deterioration of spine disorders but as prevention, they can make it impossible for them to appear at all. As a practising doctor who cures patients with locomotor diseases, I find the Demko bed-system extremely good, both at the prevention of spinal disorders, and their regeneration.”
“The important effect of the slat base of the Demko bed-system is that it is not only the load on the spine that will become more evenly distributed due to the plastic-dynamic support, but also the body stretches out length-wise, the spine stretches on the slat base”
Recommended for all age groups, the Demko bed=system supports healthy spinal development, encourages restful sleep, and may enhance physical recovery and performance – night after night.
Sleeping on a bed that is too soft or too firm can cause structural changes due to poor posture. This can contribute to degenerative disc disease and other changes in the spine. On a soft bed, the spine sinks into the surface and the muscles slacken on the concave side. During this time:
A mattress that is too firm can cause similar effects, but in different areas of the spine.
As John Lennon BM, MM.C, and Norman Shealy M.D stated that “bad posture affects and moderates every psychologic function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse and lung capacity are among the functions most easily influenced by posture.”
The Demko bed-system can be built into one of our handcrafted bed frames —
explore our bed designs — or integrated into an existing frame you already
love.
You can choose between two mattress options:
• 10 cm organic latex — recommended for people under 100 kg (16 stone)
• 3.5 cm organic latex + 3 cm coir fibre + 3.5 cm organic coir fibre — recommended for people over 100 kg (16 stone), with added support from the coir layer.
Please note: Our thicker organic mattresses are designed for traditional bed bases. When used with the Demko bed-system, they’re too thick/firm and will reduce the system’s therapeutic benefits. For king and super king sizes, we always install two individual bed systems — ensuring personalised support for both sleepers, without compromise.
Available sizes: 90 × 200 cm, and custom dimensions upon request.
