A prerequisite for a healthy and comfortable stay is a comfortable bed with an orthopedic mattress, which will ensure the correct position of the spine in a dream.

Manufacturers offer customers a wide range of various orthopedic mattresses, differing in size, filler, type of base, and many other aspects on which the quality and price of the product depend. The first criterion that you should pay attention to when choosing a mattress is its size. The mattress should be 20-30 cm or more higher than the growth of its owner. For a single bed, the width of the mattress should not be less than 80 cm. A smaller width will lead to limited and constrained movements.

The next important selection criterion is the type of foundation. There are two types of orthopedic mattresses - spring and springless. The spring mattress is based on a dependent or independent spring unit. In the dependent unit, the springs are connected to each other, and such mattresses do not provide sufficient ergonomics. They are notable for their low price, but their orthopedic properties are minimal. In mattresses based on an independent spring block, each spring is located separately from the rest, which ensures the correct physiological support for each part of the body. Springless mattresses consist of a special filler, which can be represented as a single piece, or can be made in the form of alternating layers of various materials.

After the type of mattress is selected, it is necessary to choose a suitable layer that will provide the mattress with the necessary level of softness or rigidity. The cheapest and least ergonomic are mattresses with a layer of foam. Models with a layer of natural soft latex are notable for their high price, however, it fully justifies itself: elastic and elastic latex is perfect for a comfortable sleep. A popular filler for mattresses is coconut coir. This filler has the greatest rigidity. Doctors recommend paying attention to modern mattresses with different levels of stiffness at the level of various parts of the body.

The most universal orthopedic mattresses of medium hardness. Rigid models are suitable for people suffering from osteochondrosis and scoliosis, as well as adolescents in order to prevent spinal curvature. Hard mattresses are not recommended for low body weight and lean physique. For lower back pain, it is best to sleep on a soft mattress with a memory effect that repeats and remembers the anatomical forms of a sleeping person.
