Mattress hardness selection guide: finding the best support for different ages

A suitable mattress is the cornerstone of healthy sleep. Different age groups have different choices for mattress hardness due to their different physical characteristics and needs.

Children (3-12 years old):
In the critical period of bone development, a medium-hard mattress should be selected. This can provide effective support for the spine, prevent deformation, and fit the body curve appropriately.

Adolescents (13-18 years old):
The body grows rapidly, and the spine is vulnerable to stress. A hard mattress is also recommended to ensure that the spine maintains its natural physiological curvature during sleep, which is conducive to healthy bone development.

Adults (19-60 years old):
Choose from a variety of options. Consider body type, sleeping position and personal preference. A medium-hardness mattress is usually the right choice. It distributes stress evenly and is suitable for most body types. If you have back discomfort, consider a harder style as appropriate.

Elderly (over 60 years old):
As you age, your bone strength weakens and you are prone to back pain. A mattress that is too soft can make it harder to get up. Therefore, it is highly recommended to choose a hard or medium hard mattress, which can provide stronger support, facilitate turning over and getting up, and effectively relieve joint pressure.

The right hardness is the most intimate protection that the mattress gives to the body. From growth to maturity, to enjoying old age, let the support of science accompany every night to sleep deeply.
