How firm is a baby mattress? Why should pregnant women not sleep in Simmons beds? 1. Why should pregnant women not sleep on Simmons beds? Pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy are best not to sleep on Simmons beds, especially mattresses with softer textures. This is because the spine of pregnant women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy is larger than the normal lumbar anterior curvature. When sleeping on the back of a soft Simmons bed, the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava are more likely to be compressed than sleeping in a normal bed, which affects the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. In addition, it can also cause increased friction in the facet joints of the lumbar vertebrae that have been anteriorly curved.

When lying on the side, the spine will bend to the side to varying degrees. In the long run, the structure and morphology of the spine will be abnormal, the nerves will be compressed, and the burden of the psoas muscle will be increased, thereby increasing the incidence of low back pain and leg pain in pregnant women. This type of sleep can neither eliminate fatigue, but also affect the physiological function of pregnant women. Overnight, the sleeping position often changes, the left and right lateral positions are alternated, and the toss and turns are as many as 20-30 times, while the Simmons bed is soft, and pregnant women are deeply trapped in it. health and normal work.

So what kind of bed should a pregnant woman sleep on? Generally, a brown trampoline or a hard board bed can be used. A 9 cm thick cotton pad or a cotton quilt with a thickness of more than 4 kg is suitable for the hard board bed, and the pillow should be soft and moderately high. Pregnant women with edema of both lower extremities can place soft pads such as quilts under both calves to facilitate the disappearance of edema. 2. How firm is the baby mattress? Many parents think that putting their kids on a firm mattress helps them stay in shape, but that's not the case.

Recently, some experts warned that the hardness of the bed should vary from person to person, especially those infants and young children who are in the growth and development period. If they sleep on a hard mattress, it will cause the child's skeletal dysplasia and even leave "scoliosis". hazard. German paediatric experts strongly recommend mattresses with medium softness for infants and young children to sleep in. Generally, this kind of children's mattress is composed of a relatively soft upper layer, a lower layer and a firm middle layer.

On the one hand, the middle layer can provide the necessary support for the child's body, and at the same time, it can also transmit the pressure to the soft lower layer, so as to support the child's entire body without causing spinal deformities. It is very convenient to identify whether the baby mattress is soft and hard. Let a baby weighing about 3 kg sleep on the mattress. If the depth of the depression of the mattress is about 1 cm, such hardness is a suitable baby bed. pad. Foshan Mattress Factory www.springmattressfactory.com.
