The Biomechanics of Lying project has been active since 2017. It all started when the Biomechanics and Spine Research Group was approached by people who worked from Sealy Australia wanting to put science into their mattresses. Since then, we have expanded into a research centre and we continue to collect a full dataset of people from all adult age groups.
