The right mattress can significantly reduce back and neck pain and increase the ability to rest after a good night\'s sleep.
The use of the wrong mattress can cause pain in the whole body and aggravate any pre-
Pain, causing insomnia.
Many patients asked us, \"What is the best mattress to buy?
\"Unfortunately, there is no extensive medical study or control clinical trial on mattresses and back pain. (
Claiming that the mattress is \"plastic\" or \"in medicine
Approval should therefore be viewed with suspicion \". )
The mattress is mainly a matter of personal preference.
This is due to several factors: 1.
There are many different types and causes of back problems.
What works for one person may not be the best option for another person. 2.
Our bodies are different.
Different weights, heights and structures may help decide what people should look for on a mattress or pillow. 3.
The cause of back pain is very complicated and it is difficult to distinguish whether a mattress or pillow plays an important role in the pain. 4.
In addition to mattresses and pillows, there are other factors that affect sleep comfort.
Side effects of drugs, irregular sleep patterns, use of caffeine/alcohol/tobacco, sleep apnea, obesity, and anxiety/stress are common causes of sleep disruption.
The general rule of thumb when choosing a mattress most people prefer a stronger mattress that provides more support.
A good mattress should provide support while taking into account the natural curve of the spine.
If the mattress is sagging, or if the second person on the bed causes the other person to tilt towards the center, the mattress is too soft.
The study found that
A sturdy mattress can provide the best back support to relieve back pain.
However, a mattress that is too hard can cause pain at pressure points such as shoulders and hips.
If there is a gap between any part of your body and the mattress, the mattress is too strong.
Any mattress that helps a person to sleep well and makes him/her wake up feeling rested and refreshed without pain or stiffness is the person\'s best mattress.
Mattress combination the following physical components are most high-
Quality Mattress: spring and spring provide solid support for back support.
The Wire in the coil can be of different thickness.
The lower specification wire is thicker and harder, which means the mattress is stronger.
The more coils, the more instructions-
Quality mattress.
This is the part that offers comfort.
Filling is usually made of polyurethane foam, puffed
Polyester or cotton wool.
Some mattresses have a foam layer under the top layer of the quilting.
The soft foam is almost moist to the touch, and the stronger foam does not rebound so quickly.
Under this layer, there is a layer of cotton wool, making the mattress feel stronger in areas such as the middle of the mattress.
Finally, there is an insulation layer on the top of the coil spring so that they are not felt from the top of the mattress.
It also prevents the coil from damaging the top floor.
The outer layer of the mattress is ticking, polyester or cotton-Polyester.
The mattress quilting connects the tick to the top layer of the liner.
The mattress is of good quality and the stitching is uninterrupted.
The box spring adds another layer of support to the mattress.
They are usually made up of wooden or metal frames with springs.
The normal wooden frame makes the mattress harder than the one with a spring.
The purchase of mattress and box spring as a suit can maximize the service life of the mattress.
Other types of mattresses are made of latex foam or \"memory\" foam.
These can be purchased at different densities
The higher the density, the stronger it will be.
In general, the two best sleeping positions are either on your back with a pillow under your knee (
Keep the pressure on the lower back)
Or put a pillow between your knees (
Keep the hips aligned with the lower spine).
Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended.
It will put a lot of pressure on your lower back and torque on your neck as you have to turn your head to breathe.
Also, you should not sleep on top of your head with your arms, as this may stimulate the sensitive nerve bundles between your neck and shoulders-the arm conges.
People with degenerative lumbar scoliosis or osteoarthritis may prefer an adjustable bed (
A slightly tilted one)
Because it minimizes joint compression.
This type of bed may also help those with gastric and esophageal reflux (GERD).
Patients with hip buritis (
Inflammation of the hip SAC)
The mattress is too strong for pain.
Thick pillows or egg box mattress pads can provide some relief.
Tips for purchasing mattress1.
Personal preference is the final decision.
Choose a mattress that meets your own comfort and support standards. 2.
Ask about the physical components of the mattress, including the number and arrangement of the coils, the thickness of the liner and the depth of the mattress. 3.
Find a balance between back support and comfort.
If the mattress is supported but not comfortable, it will not help you to sleep. 4.
Know when to buy a new mattress.
The service life of most mattresses is about 7 years.
If the mattress is sagging in the middle, or no longer comfortable, it\'s time to change a new mattress.
Putting a board under the sagging mattress is just a shortterm fix. 5.
Shop for value and quality instead of price.
If you take into account the savings in health, high-quality mattresses are worth investing in
Cost of care and higher productivity in pain
Free, peaceful sleep.
There are often promotions in the mattress store, so compare-
Shop after choosing the mattress you want. 6. Test-
Drive your mattress.
Sleep on a different mattress in a hotel or friend\'s house.
In the store, take off your shoes and lay on the mattress for at least 10 minutes.
If two people sleep on the same mattress, do it together to make sure both of you are comfortable. 7.
Buy the best customer service.
Consider shipping options, old mattress removal policies, warranty and return policies.
If you are not satisfied, give priority to the shops that will allow you to return the mattress in two to four weeks. 8.
Take care of your mattress.
The mattress should be rotated every six months, both of which are rotated 180 degrees and flipped vertically.
It is very important to have a good rest at night.
A simple change in the mattress may make a difference between waking up to back pain and resting and recovering.
