Sleep Better with Chiropractic: Answers to the Top 3 Questions about Mattresses
What is the best type of mattress?
There is no definite answer as the research shows many different types of mattresses can be beneficial
There is a lot of new evidence showing adjustable air mattresses can be beneficial as well as memory foam
the number 1 NOT RECOMMENDED is of course a waterbed, it's up there with me saying no to people wearing heals or putting wallets in their back pockets
What firmness should the mattress be?
You don't have to have the firmest bed known to humans
More research is showing that a hard mattress that contact pressure increases which can lead to discomfort and health problems
A Medium to Firm mattress is best for back pain sufferers based on current research
A soft mattress, well, chuck it in the bin! a soft mattress is shown to increase cervical lordosis, leading to 49% higher disc loading
How often should you replace a mattress?
The international sleep research association found that most people replace their mattresses between 5 to 10 years
Unsure if yours needs replacing? Use the ruler test, If the ruler isn't laying straight and there is a dip, your mattress isn't supporting you at night!
