Pick the right mattress for your spine
IT has been reported that the main cause of back pain is either an injury, ageing health, the daily stresses of sleeping on an unsupportive or uneven surface, occupational strain or a combination.
While a number of prevention efforts focus mainly on daytime habits, it is important to remember there are many things going on in your body related to your back when you sleep.
The power of a good night’s sleep, on the right kind of mattress, should never be underestimated. The right mattress can make all the difference between waking up feeling rested, or miserable and in pain.
With a large variety of mattresses available in the market these days, picking the right one can be tricky, if not difficult. Whether it’s selecting a mattress for yourself or a loved one, comfort and support are two important factors to look out for in finding the correct mattress.
A good mattress should hold you in proper alignment from head to toe, but that does not mean getting hard, stone-like bedding because your body isn’t a straight line.
Sleeping on a hard, unsupportive mattress will only put pressure on your shoulders and hip area, causing your spine to bend; similarly, a mattress that is too soft will cause you to sink into it, resulting in backache.
Ultimately, you will need a supportive mattress that can contour to the unique shape of your body and hold it in its neutral alignment – a feature found in all Getha mattresses.
Designed with your utmost comfort and support in mind, the extensive line-up of mattresses from the sleep expert is made from 100% natural latex – one that the company specialises in making since 1969.
A good quality natural latex mattress tends to rate best for back pain relief because latex has a natural flexibility and conforms easily to your body to provide proper support for your spine.
Caring for the spine is especially important for growing children, working adults and the elderly.
