Sleeping surface can be termed as 'bad mattress,' which can affect sleep quality as well as worsen your health. Sleep is disrupted by bad mattresses that no longer provide comfort or support, such that people become unable to fall asleep, waking up in the middle or not being able to get into that deep slumber. Such sleep disruptions over time also cause the morning fatigue, irritability, and a constant drop in performance or ability to perform cognitively.

How a Worn-Out Mattress Affects Your Spine & Joints

A worn or unsuitable mattress leads to improper spinal alignment, causing pain in the orthopaedic mattress, neck, and joints. Basically, bad mattresses become saggy and deformed and do not help the spine maintain its natural curvature control, and hence much strain is exerted on the muscles and joints, leading them to become chronically painful and stiff.

The Link Between Poor Sleep and Health Issues

When a mattress is poor, it disrupts sleep cycles and makes attaining deep sleep-that phase of restorative sleep-becoming harder. Chronic poor sleep has been known to lower immunity levels and increase the chances of heart-related problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, impaired memory, and impaired concentration.

Signs That Tell You to Change Your Mattress

Some common indicators include waking up with aches and pains, noticeable sagging or lumps, increased allergy manifestations, decreased quality of sleep, and a life span of 7 years to 10 years. When your mattress seems uncomfortable and unsupportive, it is probably due for a replacement.

How the Wrong Mattress Causes Allergies and Breathing Issues

Old mattresses or those poorly maintained harbor not only dust mites but also mold and other allergens that trigger these conditions; asthma and skin ailments like eczema may also be aggravated. Dust and dead skin cells can trigger allergens and respiratory issues.

The Psychological Impact of Sleeping on an Uncomfortable Bed

Chronic discomfort may lead to anxiety, general irritability, mood swings, and inability to concentrate. The inability to sleep due to poor mattress quality may contribute to the downgrading of mental health and overall well-being.

Mattresses for back pain

Do you often have back pain? Regular back or neck pain can be caused not only by various diseases of the spine. They are often experienced by quite healthy young people. And the reason is most often quite banal. Pain and discomfort, numbness of the limbs and neck testify, first of all, that it is time to think about buying a new mattress.

It is the mattress that determines not only a sound and healthy sleep, but also well-being and mood during the day. A properly selected mattress will not only relieve discomfort and give a comfortable sleep, but will also be an excellent prevention of many diseases. For those who already suffer from spinal diseases, an orthopedic mattress is simply necessary.

How will an orthopedic mattress help?
The main task of an orthopedic mattress is to provide support for the spine during sleep, allowing it to maintain its natural shape and curves. The body should not sink into the mattress or, conversely, be partially in the air. This creates a harmful load on the joints and muscles, prevents blood and lymph circulation and can cause pain and discomfort.

Modern mattresses allow the body to be in a comfortable position, while the muscles, spine, joints and internal organs do not experience stress and relax, regardless of the sleeping position.

What are the types of mattresses?
Modern mattresses are created taking into account research in a variety of fields, they use modern high-tech materials. The properties of the mattress depend primarily on two things - its design and the type of filler. They determine the firmness of the mattress and the support it provides to the body.

Spring or springless
In spring mattresses, a spring block or several blocks are used to provide elasticity and support, as in the Hybrid Duo mattress. Micro-springs, each enclosed in a separate fabric cover, provide proper support for the body at the right points and distribute the weight evenly.

At the same time, the movements of the sleeper do not affect the entire mattress, so such models are well suited for married couples.

When choosing a spring mattress, you should pay attention not only to the block itself, but also to the type and composition of the filler surrounding it. It is the qualities of the filler and the thickness of the layer above the springs that determine the softness of the mattress and its comfort.

Springless mattresses
The properties of springless mattresses are determined by their filler. Such mattresses can be made from a single block or be a combination of layers of different types of fillers with different densities, as, for example, in the Blue Sleep Gravity model.

As a filler for such mattresses, polyurethane foam, soy and artificial foams with the property of remembering the shape of the body, as well as latex, natural or artificial latex, are usually used. In terms of convenience, springless mattresses are not inferior to spring mattresses and provide not only support for the spine and competent weight distribution, but also the necessary ventilation. In addition, most modern foams have bactericidal properties and prevent the reproduction of harmful microorganisms.

What to pay attention to when choosing a mattress?
Choosing a mattress is not such an easy matter. What do you need to consider so that the mattress is not only comfortable, but also safe, provides the necessary support and lasts a long time?
