Tired the more you sleep? Maybe the mattress at home should be changed!
In imagination, a soft mattress to wrap your tired body and fall asleep with the smell of sunlight and cotton is definitely the happiest thing in the world.
Can soft beds really bring good sleep?
Is the rigid bed right for the waist? "
We spend nearly 40% of our lives in bed, so it is very necessary to choose a mattress that suits you!
If the mattress is not selected well, there will be "big problems"
A mattress that is too soft or too hard is not conducive to spine health and good sleep.
From the perspective of spine health, whether the human body is standing, sitting or lying down to sleep, the spine should be in a natural physiological curvature.
When sleeping on an inappropriate mattress, when the spine is in such an unnatural physiological state, it is difficult for the body to relax completely, which affects the quality of sleep-it may not be able to enter a deep sleep state, and it will affect the mental state in the long run.
Therefore, to judge whether this mattress is suitable for you, you can observe whether there are backaches, poor sleep quality, and lack of energy after waking up.
Sleep on a hard bed if you have back pain, really? "Sleep on a hard bed with waist and leg pain." Many people think that if you have waist problems, you should sleep on a hard bed, or even a hard bed. It is best not to put anything on a wooden board.
In fact, when sleeping on a hardboard, if the person is lying flat, the whole back is directly attached to it, and the buttocks are also attached to the bed, the body and spine cannot be relaxed, and the spine will straighten up;
If you are lying on your side, with your shoulders and hips directly attached to the bed, the spine in the middle will also be lifted up and cannot be relaxed down. On the contrary, it will aggravate the pain in the waist and bring discomfort.
So friends who have lumbar disc herniation and other waist problems are not recommended to sleep on a hard bed or a hard mattress. Let’s take a look at your mattress. Have you chosen the right mattress?
The key to choosing a mattress is to support your body.
Effective support can make the spine in a straight line, and ineffective support can cause the spine to bend. Therefore, a suitable mattress should support these key parts in the supine and side lying positions:
ps: The prone sleeping position has a higher "difficulty of action". This sleeping position is not recommended.
In addition to the stress points of the mattress, we can also use these two methods to test the mattress:
1. Test method when lying flat
Lie flat on the bed, palms down, and place your hands between the curve of your lower back and the mattress. If your hands slip easily and there is no gap between your back and the mattress, then this mattress is suitable.
If there is a significant gap, the mattress may be too hard;
If it takes a lot of effort to reach in, the mattress is too soft.
Moderate hardness: The mattress gives the body even support, so that the spine is naturally aligned in a completely relaxed position.
2. Test method when lying on your side
When lying on your side, if you can feel the contact between the mattress and the body from the ribs, pelvis, to the ankles, then this mattress is more suitable.
If not, the mattress is too hard;
If you feel that the hip is about to stick to the bed, it means that the mattress is too soft, and pelvic problems may occur after long-term use.
Highlight: Mattress needs to be customized!
The individual choice of mattress is very necessary.
Because everyone's height and weight are not exactly the same, some people on the same mattress think this mattress is too good and too comfortable, and it may not be suitable for some people.
The specific situation varies from person to person. Choose the mattress that suits you. It is recommended that you try your best before choosing it.
The overall selection principle is: in the two sleeping positions of lying down or on the side, the shoulders and hips can sink, but at the same time the middle waist can be well supported, and the waist cannot be suspended.
Babies and teenagers have soft bones, so don't choose a mattress that is too soft. When choosing, you can let the child lie on it, if the body collapses with the bed, don't choose.
