What kind of mattress is good for the lumbar spine?

If you want to know what mattress is good for the lumbar spine, you must first understand what types of mattresses we usually sleep on, so that we can analyze a good mattress that fits our body structure. What are the types of mattresses? The mattresses we generally see are mainly spring mattresses, palm mattresses, memory foam mattresses and latex mattresses. We need to know what are the characteristics of these types of mattresses, from which to judge which type of mattress is more suitable for us. Spring mattress: I remember being in contact with spring mattresses when I was young, so the spring mattress should be one of the mattress types we touch the most. It is mainly composed of fabric layer, filling layer and spring layer. The core is the spring layer. The spring layer is mainly composed of the whole mesh spring and the independent pocket spring. What is the difference between these two springs? The support of the whole network spring will be relatively strong, and the disadvantage is that the anti-interference ability is relatively poor. Simply put, as long as the spring in one place is broken, the whole spring will basically be scrapped. Another is that the spring has a relatively strong resilience, which will also affect the people sleeping next to it.

Independent pocketed springs will not have the shortcomings of moving the whole body. Independent pocketed springs have a spring layer composed of pocket springs, which are particularly resistant to interference and have a high degree of fit. But if the number of springs is too small, the supporting force will obviously become particularly weak.

What kind of mattress is good for the lumbar spine? To sum up four words: moderate soft and hard. Soft and hard mattresses are good for our spine and lumbar spine. Why is a mattress of moderate hardness suitable for our lumbar spine? The general reason is as follows: How far-reaching is the influence of traditional thinking! Until now, there are still people who think that sleeping on a board bed is good for the waist. This erroneous perception needs to be corrected in time: the hard bed does not have enough support for the sunken parts of the body. In the long run, it will cause other body parts (such as shoulders, buttocks) to increase stress relief abnormally, and ultimately our spine. The curvature will become smaller and straighter, which seriously affects the normal curvature of our lumbar spine. A bed that is too soft will have no support for the protruding parts of the body. In this case, due to gravity, the slightly heavier body parts, such as the shoulders and buttocks, will easily sink, and the depression will become deeper and deeper, and the spine will become more and more over time. Asymmetrical load will produce abnormal distortion or even deformation. The moderately hard mattress can perfectly fit our spine curve when we sleep on the side, and the body can also provide even support without too much pressure on the body, so this type of mattress will be more suitable.
