A suitable mattress can eliminate the fatigue of the day and relax the body and mind. For patients with low back pain, it can avoid aggravating waist injury and facilitate the rehabilitation of the disease.
There are two important indicators for evaluating the quality of a mattress: first, whether the human spine can always maintain a state of stretch regardless of which sleep position it is in; The second is whether the hardness and softness are moderate, and whether the body can fully relax when lying on it. When purchasing a mattress, you need to pay attention to some details.
Buying a mattress is best accompanied
"One person lies down, while the other person extends his or her hand inwardly at the three obvious curved areas of the person's neck, waist, and buttocks to see if there are gaps. If the gaps are obvious, it indicates that the mattress is too hard and the body is suspended.". In addition, if the body lies on the mattress in a low center and high around shape, it indicates that the mattress is too soft.
If you choose to buy a double mattress, it is best for two people to lie down together. The heavier person can turn around on the mattress and observe whether the shaking of the mattress will affect the other person.
Special groups, special care
Children and adolescents: It is not advisable to sleep on a soft mattress, as this can affect the development of the spine and limb joints for a long time.
For patients with osteoporosis and lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended to sleep on a hard board bed.
Patients after spinal surgery and long-term bedridden: To prevent postoperative bedsores, a sponge or thin quilt with a gap in the middle is usually placed on the mattress at the sacrococcygeal region to help maintain local cleanliness, ventilation, and defecation. You can also choose a softer mattress or air cushion bed.
Patients with moderate to severe burns can use a rubber sponge mattress, which is beneficial to wound healing and increases comfort.
