Support and cushioning that can ease back pain
BACK pain is not something that only elderly people suffer from. It can affect anyone, often from around the age of 30. People may fail to connect the pain in their back with their mattress. Sleeping on the right mattress helps prevent or even eliminate neck, back and hip pain. Dense and super-supportive, the latest memory foam mattresses react to your body temperature, changing shape to provide more comfort than other types. This helps to relieve pressure points and prevent sores, aches and pains. The best memory foam mattresses are designed to give you a firm foundation of support for the spine, joints and tendons, while the soft, cushioning top layers accept your body and allow your blood to circulate so that you wake with less pain. Because of the way the material works, there will be little or no movement between two partners, which ensures less disruption to your sleep cycle. It is important that any memory foam mattress you buy has a breathable core so it allows any hot air and moisture to flow out of the mattress, ensuring you don’t get too hot but stay just the right temperature for a great night’s sleep. Did you know the average mattress could contain up to 10 million dust mites at any given time? For this reason, memory foam mattresses are popular with allergy sufferers, as they are made from inorganic fibres. As such, they don’t provide any tasty, life-sustaining food for nasty, hungry dust-mites to feed on, resulting in an environment that they can’t thrive in and will therefore avoid. The cover of your new mattress is also important, so you should ensure that it has an extra protective barrier against dust mites, fungi and bacteria. You can even have one with silver threads woven into the fabric, which will have an anti-odour and anti-bacterial affect. The most important part of a purchase is a comfort guarantee, so pick a mattress that you are able to return if you don’t like it. You should always sleep on a new mattress for up to four weeks before making that decision. However, having that peace of mind will help you sleep all the better.
