Rematee Comfort Guide
Getting Comfortable with Your Rematee Bumper Belt
A simple, step-by-step guide to help you stay on your side, sleep more comfortably, and build better nights over time.
The goal of Rematee is simple: help you stay off your back and comfortably on your side. The first few nights may feel different, but with a calm mindset and a few small adjustments, most people adapt gradually and begin to notice progress.
Use this guide to set up your Bumper Belt, improve comfort, and track what is working over time.
Step 1: Wear It Loose
Your Rematee should feel comfortable, not tight. Keep the belt slightly loose around your torso so it can guide your body position without feeling restrictive.
A loose fit also helps reduce pressure points and makes it easier to settle into sleep naturally.
Step 2: Position It High on Your Back
Position the inflatable bumpers higher on your back so they support your upper torso and shoulders.
This helps prevent rolling fully onto your back while still allowing you to rest comfortably on your side.
Step 3: Build a Comfortable Side-Sleep Setup
- Between your knees: helps reduce pressure on your hips and lower back.
- In front of your chest: supports your upper arm and shoulders.
- Under your head: keeps your neck aligned and relaxed.
These small adjustments create a stable, supported side-sleeping position.
Step 4: Give Yourself Time to Adjust
The first few nights are about practice, not perfection. Your body may need time to get used to the new sleeping position.
Before bed, try a simple 1β2 minute breathing routine. Relax your shoulders, slow your breathing, and remind yourself that the Bumper Belt is there to gently support your goal.

Helpful Sleeping Positions
Neutral Side-Sleeping Position
Support your neck, shoulders, knees, and hips to keep your body relaxed and aligned.
Half-Frontal Position
Use pillow support for your neck, chest, hips, and knees for a relaxed and stable position.
Switching Sides
To switch sides comfortably, roll onto your stomach first, then gently transition to the other side.
Extra Comfort Tips
- Wear your Rematee over a t-shirt or pajamas for added comfort.
- A medium-firm mattress often provides better support for side sleeping.
- Use a Rematee wash/travel pouch to protect clothing from Velcro during washing.
- Keep trying slowly and consistently. Small improvements can build over time.
To wash your Bumper Belt, remove the inflatables first, close the zipper, and wash the fabric belt on a gentle cycle. A Rematee wash pouch can help protect the belt and other laundry items.
