Some people prefer to use softer mattresses for comfort. In fact, this is not good for the health of the spine. For pregnant women, mattresses that are too soft are not advisable. Because the weight of the fetus, amniotic fluid, enlarged uterus and breasts after pregnancy increases the load-bearing of the spine of the expectant mother, the forward curvature of the spine and waist is larger than that before pregnancy. If the mattress is too soft for pregnant women to sleep, it will not be very good. The ground supports the spine, so that the tired spinal joints cannot rest adequately. In the long run, the spine will experience pain due to fatigue, deformation and compression of the spinal nerves, which will not only bring pain to pregnant women, but also affect daily work and sleep, thereby affecting fetal development. In addition, people need to turn over frequently during sleep, and this kind of tossing and turning helps the spread of cerebral cortex inhibition and improves sleep quality.

If the mattress is too soft, in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the body of the expectant mother is relatively bulky, which will make it difficult to turn over. When the expectant mother is lying on her back, the enlarged uterus will compress the aorta and inferior vena cava, which will reduce the blood supply of the uterus to the fetus. At the same time, it will also cause varicose veins in the mother's lower extremities, vulva and rectum: seven symptoms of compression in the right lateral position Disappears, but the fetus may compress the mother's right ureter. In comparison, the left lateral position is the most suitable for pregnant women, but if the same position is maintained for a long time, the expectant mother will feel tired again.

Therefore, Foshan Mattress Factory recommends that expectant mothers who use soft mattresses should change to a healthy mattress with a certain hardness. In recent years, the more popular brown mattress, the hardness is more suitable for pregnant women.
