Say goodbye to back pain! How to choose the most suitable mattress support for your sleeping position?

Do you often wake up with back pain in the morning? After eight hours of sleep, you feel more tired than never? This is probably because your mattress doesn't support your sleeping position well.

In the process of serving users, we found that most people's low back problems are not actually "sleeping too little", but "sleeping wrong". If the mattress does not provide the right support according to your sleeping position, it can lead to spinal pressure, muscle fatigue, and over time, chronic pain.

Knowing your sleeping position is the first step in choosing a mattress

Everyone's sleep habits are different, and different sleeping positions require different mattress support.

If you sleep on your back, the waist and hips are the most supportive areas when lying flat. If the mattress is too soft, the waist will be suspended, which is easy to cause lumbar muscle strain. This group is more suitable for choosing a medium-hard mattress with clear waist support.

If you are a side sleeper, the shoulders and hips will be the main points of stress. If the mattress is too hard, it will cause the shoulders to fail to sink, and the spine will be forced to bend, which will easily cause stiffness in the shoulder and neck in the long run. This group is more suitable for choosing a medium-soft mattress that can relieve shoulder and hip pressure.

If you are sleeping on your back, the abdomen will become the main contact surface. If there is not enough support, the spine is prone to excessive pressure and the cervical spine is easily twisted. This sleeping position itself is not very healthy. It is recommended to choose a mattress with strong support and overall hardness to avoid waist collapse.

Some people fall into a mixed sleeping position and often turn over, requiring the mattress to have flexible area support while maintaining stability. At this time, choosing a mattress with a zoned design is a more ideal solution.

Mattress support determines the quality of your sleep

When many people buy a mattress, they only focus on the softness and hardness, but ignore the "support" that really matters. Support is not hardness, but whether the mattress can fit the curve of the body, support every key part, and maintain the natural curvature of the spine during sleep.

If the support is too weak, it can lead to a sinking waist, deformed spine, and back pain when you wake up in the morning. If the support is too strong, it will make the shoulders and hips unable to sink, and the blood circulation will be blocked, resulting in numbness or fatigue.

The ideal support is that after the body is lying down, the mattress can actively identify the pressure concentration area, provide sufficient support, and maintain a soft fit in other parts.

How to choose a mattress that really suits you?

First of all, pay attention to whether the mattress has an ergonomic design. The Metto mattress mainly supports five zones, which can provide different degrees of support according to the weight of different areas of the body, effectively relieving the pressure on key parts such as shoulders, waist and legs.

Secondly, the use of high rebound material, can quickly restore the original state, reduce vibration interference when you turn over, especially suitable for light sleep or significant other people sleeping together.

In addition, good breathability and antibacterial ability are also important indicators of high-quality mattresses. The body releases a lot of heat and moisture when sleeping, and the mattress is airtight, which is easy to breed bacteria and mites, which affects sleep quality.

Finally, try to choose a brand that supports sleep testing. For example, Mattress provides a 100-night sleep testing service, so that you can really experience it before deciding whether to keep it.

Write at the end

A mattress is not a daily necessity, but an "invisible health device" that will accompany you for eight hours a day for many years. Choosing the right mattress may solve the problem of back pain more than changing a chair or a massager.
