Mattresses play an important role in improving people's sleep quality. Too soft or too hard mattresses will affect human health. A mattress that is too soft can easily affect the spine and change the inherent physiological curve of the human body, which is not conducive to the relaxation of the human spine. Long-term use will also affect human health. Therefore, the editor of Foshan Mattress Factory believes that the most important factor in choosing a mattress is to see whether the mattress is conducive to the health of the spine.

For the spine, the conventional wisdom is that a firm mattress is good for the spine, but the truth is that sleeping on a firm mattress is good for the spine for some people, but that doesn't mean that a firm mattress is good for everyone. Therefore, choosing a mattress should be based on your actual situation. A good mattress should be designed according to the weight distribution of the body parts and the curve of the spine.

Generally speaking, hard mattresses are more suitable for some patients with lumbar disc herniation and developing children. It is beneficial to spinal correction and has a certain positive effect on the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. But for some patients with a hunchback, a soft mattress is the right choice. This is of course some special cases, but for normal people a mattress that is too soft or too hard is not suitable.

People spend one-third of their time sleeping, so a suitable mattress plays a more important role in the health of the human spine. Proper softness can adjust sleep position. A mattress that is too soft will cause people to fall into it, thereby affecting the normal physiological flexion of the lumbar spine, causing contraction and tension of the lumbar muscles and ligaments, and even causing lumbar disc herniation.

Since a mattress affects the spine so much, what should be the criteria for a suitable mattress? Let me introduce to you the following: 1. You can keep yourself in any posture, and the spine can be kept straight and stretched. For example, when lying on the side, the spine can be kept horizontal. Keep the normal physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine; 2. It can ensure that the pressure on the contact surface with the human body is dispersed, bear the weight of the whole body on average, and conform to the curve of the human body; 3. The bed should be wider, at least 20-30 cm longer than the sleeping person, and at least wider than the sleeping person The person is 30-40 cm wide. 4. Beds for special groups need special attention. If it is the elderly, choose a mattress with moderate hardness, and young people should choose a mattress with higher hardness.

In addition, in addition to the choice of mattresses, the editor of Foshan Mattress Factory has another point to remind you that mattresses should not be used for too long. Over time, the springs inside will lose their elasticity, and the bearing capacity will be affected. , Sleeping in such a bed for a long time is not good for the health of the spine, so the mattress needs to be replaced if it is used for a long time. Generally, the mattress should be replaced every 10-15 years. Everyone must remember! .
