Uncomfortable mattress affects sleep quality

Author: Synwin–Custom Mattress

One of the things people are most willing to do is to lie in bed comfortably and have a good night's sleep, but many people's sleep quality is not high, what's going on? It is most likely because of the mattress, because the mattress is not good, it will lead to poor sleep, so how should we choose a suitable mattress? High-quality sleep depends on sleeping more during mattress purchase. There is a set of data in the mattress industry: 80% of office workers have cervical and lumbar spine problems; 90% of women are distressed for a beauty sleep; almost all workers in the front line The boss didn't sleep well and turned over frequently in the middle of the night. At the same time, another consumer survey shows that 70% of people tend to ignore mattresses when buying furniture. When I first saw this set of data, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but after I understood it in detail, it made sense.

Chinese people have too many misconceptions about sleep. For example, when Simmons first appeared in the Chinese market, many people felt that it was really comfortable and did not want to get up, so rumors spread: it is too soft and not strong, and it is not as good as a hard bed. Even warned us who are growing up: don't sleep with Simmons, it will damage the spine.

Not to mention the purchase of new furniture at home, even if it is a wedding to buy a wedding bed, many people only pay attention to the appearance and quality of the bed frame and bedding, thus ignoring the generally invisible mattress. As everyone knows, between the bed frame, mattress and bedding, a good mattress is the key to having a good night’s sleep. Misunderstanding: bedding first buys the bed Positive solution: should choose the mattress first, whether to buy the bed frame or the mattress first, there are different opinions in the market.

What the reporter has learned is that most people buy bedding first by looking at the bed frame, and some simply move back to a complete set of beds to save trouble. Wrong, the responsible salesperson will remind you to choose a mattress before buying bedding. "It is the mattress, not the bed frame, that directly supports the body during sleep.

"Peng Qifeng of Airland Mattress said. Therefore, if you see an advertisement of "buy a bed and get a mattress", you have to be careful. Misunderstanding: soft cushion hurts the spine On this issue, the Chinese have not made much progress.

The most frequently asked question about bedding: Should you buy a firm mattress or a soft mattress? Most parents insist that a firm mattress should be given to their child, on the grounds that the mattress is too soft and can easily damage the child's spine. There have been various rumors about this issue more than 20 years ago (I remember there was a debate about it when Simmons entered the domestic market). Some parents also take themselves as an example. Sleeping on a hard bed is energetic, but sleeping on a soft bed makes the whole body weak.

The firmness of the mattress varies from person to person. Why do parents like hard beds? Just because they have slept on a plank since they were young, their bodies have long been accustomed to the hard plank, in fact, their spines have already been damaged. According to the four physiological curvatures of the human spine, its ideal state is a natural "S" shape. A mattress that is too hard destroys the natural physiological curvature of the spine and may cause physiological phenomena such as intervertebral disc hyperplasia.

The correct choice is that the supporting force of the mattress must be good, and the softness and hardness vary from person to person, and you feel the best comfort. When purchasing, it is best to lie on the mattress and turn around repeatedly to personally feel whether the elasticity of the mattress suits your needs. Myth: The price is high. The answer is: Lie down and try to sleep. The price gap of mattresses on the market is staggering.

For the same raw materials, some sell for several thousand yuan, while others sell for tens of thousands of yuan. According to general logic, in this fiercely competitive market, the higher the price is definitely not worse. Wrong, Professor Zhang Jingxing, chairman of the China Sleep Association, made it clear that consumers do not need to deliberately pursue some high-priced mattresses, and only good mattresses are good mattresses if they sleep comfortably.

Debby Cheung, the production manager of Haima Mattress, the oldest mattress manufacturer in Hong Kong, told reporters that there are many products in the market that do not live up to their name. They only focus on brand promotion and ignore product quality and technology. High price but poor quality. Therefore, expensive price is not an indicator of choosing a mattress. To choose a mattress that is really suitable for you, you must lie down and try to sleep. Because each person's shape is different, the requirements for mattresses are also different.

If you don't try to sleep in person, it is difficult to feel whether the hardness and comfort are suitable. It is gratifying that the reporter observed in the market that most mattress sellers in Guangzhou provide customers with sleep trial services. It can be argued that if the mattress brand does not offer a sleep trial service, such a mattress is not worth buying.

Misunderstanding: Mattresses are used for a lifetime Correct solution: The product is limited for a limited time. A couple who are ready to get married purchased a mattress from a foreign brand mattress store. They took a fancy to a mattress with a price of more than 20,000 yuan. Men think it is too expensive: It's good, but it's too expensive. His lover said: What are you afraid of, you can use it for a lifetime! The promoters also helped: that is, it is very cheap to calculate the annual consumption for a lifetime. The previous statement is good, a better mattress should indeed be more expensive.

But do mattresses last a lifetime? The answer is: no! The service life given by the manufacturer is generally ten years, and Chinese people often think that it can be used for ten or twenty years. Unless the surface of the mattress is seriously damaged, the spring runs out or the whole collapses, it will not be replaced at all. The reporter has many classmates who work and live in developed countries. They said that residents in developed countries usually change mattresses every 2 to 3 years, and use them for at most 5 years, because they know that the quality of mattresses determines the quality of sleep. In fact, even a mattress with the best material will inevitably become fatigued or deformed after being squeezed by the weight of the human body for a long time. At this time, there is a gap in the fit between the body and the bed. Sleeping on it for a long time will have adverse effects on the body. Therefore, When a mattress in your home is uncomfortable to sleep on, it's time to consider replacing it.

Misunderstanding: Imported products are good. Correct solution: The mentality of cheating and deceiving people from many countries is best reflected in the home furnishing market. Therefore, there are many "imported" products in the market, and some functions are as mysterious as possible, so the high price is natural. The reporter walked around several major furniture stores in Guangzhou and found that there are indeed many "international brands" that are "imported from abroad", and the foreign names of some brands can really scare people. Even though the place of origin is clearly marked in a certain place in China, the salesman insists that "the materials are imported and only assembled in China".

There are too many imported materials used in furniture. Is it imported? Shows that it's cheating. The reason is simple: imported products, although expensive, are of good quality. But are these foreign brands really foreign? In China, there are many such cases. The most famous one is clothing. Registering a brand abroad and producing it in a small workshop in China becomes an "imported" product, which is worth hundreds of times in an instant.

Identifying whether a product is "imported" is actually quite simple. Check the information of the place where the brand is registered to see if it has a website of the place where it is registered, and has local market records of production, sales and after-sales service. If there is one, it must be Li Gui.

Industry insiders told reporters not to believe in imported products. The most important thing to buy a mattress is to try to sleep. The most important thing in choosing a brand is to understand the background of the manufacturer, such as their production history, whether it is professional, what kind of material is generally used, and whether it is good or not. 's reputation. Find out these, and then go to buy. The comfort of the mattress directly affects the quality of sleep. Don't just choose soft quilts and pillows, the choice of mattress is also very important.
