Tips for choosing mattresses
Have you ever thought about the fact that we spend an average of a third of our lives in sleep? Just think, a whole third! Isn't it important how we spend this time? Why does a person sleep at all? A person is sleeping because he needs rest. And not only to the exhausted head, but to the whole body. When a person is asleep, a wise organism starts "debugging the system", correcting those small errors that have accumulated during the day. This system is so perfect that it will do everything by itself, without your intervention, only one thing is required on your part - to create conditions for it.
There are very few conditions. It is a clean sleeping area with a comfortable temperature, plenty of fresh air and a comfortable mattress. It is the mattress, not the bed, because the comfort of the bed mainly depends on the comfort of the mattress. Now it is clear that the choice of a mattress is an extremely responsible matter, which cannot be approached unprepared, because a mistake can cost your health dearly.
The choice of a mattress is an individual matter. This takes into account everything, a person's age, height, weight, the condition of his musculoskeletal system, as well as personal preferences regarding convenience. Therefore, the choice of a mattress is even more individual than the choice of clothes, never trust the choice of a mattress to others, take the time to choose a mattress yourself, after all, after all, you will not do it every day or even every month.
There are several rules to consider when choosing a mattress:
- The older the person is, the softer the mattress should be;
- The more the person's weight, the harder the mattress should be. For people weighing more than 90kg, it is advisable to sleep on hard mattresses.
- If you suffer from back pain, you need a firm mattress. If the pain is recurrent, you can choose a double-sided mattress, hard on one side and softer on the other, and use each side depending on how you feel.
However, you shouldn't make a definite conclusion that choosing a firm mattress is better. Some people cannot sleep on an overly hard mattress because their muscles remain tense. Of course, a mattress that is too soft is a big danger, because it does not support the spine in an anatomical position, and it "sags". When you are directly faced with choosing a mattress, feel free to ask the seller for permission to lie on it, listening to your feelings. Choose the most comfortable mattress, but a little stiffer than you'd like.
