Does mattresses play an important role in getting good sleep?

[SherryLong]

Hi guys,

I'm a new member to this forum. I need to find a solution to my back pain. Its been a few years since I'm experiencing this pain. But it became acute during these recent days only. So currently I'm having physiotherapy sessions to reduce my pain. While discussing with my friend he suggested using memory foam mattresses. He said its good for such pain and I clearly have no idea of this. So I have ordered a memory foam mattress online. I need to check whether it works or not.

Has anyone used such mattresses? Is it really helpful? When I googled, I came to know that it relives body pains and painful pressure points. But I would like to get info from experienced people. Share your knowledge.

Thanks!

@SherryLong A warm welcome to our Community!

I think a good night sleep is important for a healthy lifestyle. I am no expert but I found this WebMD article really interesting. Take a look and also consult your physician to know their input about this.

I'll be around.

Hi @SherryLong

I use a hybrid mattress--it uses springs under memory foam. It's pretty firm, which is what my back likes. It's really difficult to tell what exact mattress works for each person. I got lucky.  Next time I get a mattress, I'll go to a bunch of different stores and lay down on the mattresses they have out on display. Maybe take a nap or two. 🙂

I agree @dsizzye, it's important to find the right mattress that works specifically for us and helps us to sleep better and be more comfortable in general. 

I've managed to sleep a lot better since I changed mattress last year, and I used to think it was't too important, but it certainly is. 😎

Of course it matters. As for me, I frequently have insomnia, so I try to make everything comfortable for comfortable sleep.

Of course, mattresses play a huge role in a good night's sleep. Because you spend about 30% of your life on a mattress. Furthermore, mattresses affect the health of your back, which is why people who sleep on bad mattresses are more likely to have back problems. I used to have a bad mattress, which caused me to have poor sleep and back pain. I decided to see a chiropractor for pain treatment. My friend advised me to go to adriameduae.com, and for a good reason. This clinic employs professionals with high qualifications.
