Author: Synwin–Mattress Manufacturer

Sleep is a necessary condition for the normal existence of human beings. In the long development process of human civilization, the development of mattresses has its own unique culture. In ancient times, people only slept on hard board beds, bamboo beds, hard kang beds or hard boards. Later, in order to reduce the pressure on some parts of the body, cotton mattresses were added to the beds, and then more comfortable spring soft mattresses appeared. In the past, people generally only paid attention to comfort, but now they have developed into the pursuit of the health care function of mattresses.

At present, there are many mattress brands on the market, and consumers are overwhelmed and overwhelmed with a dazzling array of products. What are the hazards of an overly soft mattress? There may still be many people who feel that sleeping on a very soft mattress is very comfortable. Although lying on an overly soft bed seems to be very comfortable and relaxed, it is easy for the body to sink into the mattress because of insufficient support. Mattresses that are too soft make shoulders and buttocks sink easily, resulting in crooked spine and psoas muscle fatigue. After waking up, you will feel muscle tension and back pain.

However, a mattress that is too soft can lead to the invasion of various orthopedic diseases. The spine of a normal person is straight from the "front" or "back", and has four physiological curvatures from the "side", which looks like an "S" shape. Clinically, our basic requirements for the bed are: maintain the normal physiological state of the spine, maintain a straight line in the back view, and a physiological curvature in the side view.

1. Sleeping on a soft mattress is not good for spinal health Many patients with cervical spondylosis like soft Simmons mattresses. Soft mattress, no matter what position you take, the body is easy to sink, and it is not easy to turn over, and the middle part of the body often sags, which changes the normal physiological state of the spine, so that the muscles on the side facing upward relax, while the sunken part of the soft cushion muscles are passively tensed. In this way, the muscles of the lower back will not be well rested, so that when you get up in the morning, you will experience back pain and aggravation of symptoms.

2. Patients with lumbar spondylosis are recommended to sleep on a hard bed. Lumbar disc herniation is inseparable from degeneration, weight bearing and body position. Disc-derived low back pain may occur clinically after strain and rupture of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc, which can be relieved by treatment and rest. If you do not pay attention to protection, long-term weight-bearing or trauma can cause the nucleus pulposus to protrude and prolapse from the ruptured annulus fibrosus, stimulate and compress the nerve root, resulting in inflammatory exudation and edema.

It aggravates the damage of the nucleus pulposus to the nerve root, resulting in low back and leg pain. 80% of patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation can significantly relieve symptoms after non-surgery and rest with a hard bed; if sleeping on a bed that is too soft, the compression of the body weight will cause the bed to be low in the middle and high in the periphery, which will affect the normal lumbar spine. Physiological flexion, causing contraction, tension and spasm of the lumbar muscles and ligaments, thereby aggravating symptoms. Therefore, experts recommend that friends with lumbar spondylosis try to choose a hard bed.

3. Hard-board beds are not equal to hard-board beds In addition, sleeping in hard-board beds does not mean that you must sleep in hard-board beds. Some elderly people cannot sleep in hard-board beds due to osteoporosis that leads to spinal deformation. The bed suitable for the elderly should be to keep the human body in the supine position to maintain the normal physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine, and to keep the lumbar spine from scoliosis when lying on the side, so as long as it is a mattress with a certain hardness, customers and friends can choose when purchasing.
