A good mattress is an integral part of anybody’s sleeping routine and is essential for maintaining good health and proper posture. Thus, it has to be selected after careful consideration of all the options available. This becomes even more critical if the person sleeping on the mattress is facing any kind of back related problems, however minor.
A good mattress will provide proper support to alleviate the problem, however a wrong mattress can enhance the problem multi-fold. So what are the things you must keep in mind while shopping for a mattress, especially one to support any kind of back problems. Here is an indicative list that will help you in this humongous task.
Size – The first and most important criteria to consider is the size of the mattress to be bought. Sleeping on too small a mattress may require you to bend or slouch while sleeping, causing a back trouble. On the other hand, too large a mattress may not fit into your room and if it does, may not leave a lot of space in your room. The standard sizes available in the market are listed below for you to evaluate your requirement
- King Size Mattresses – The largest size available and comfortably accommodating 2 to 4 people, these are appropriate for family rooms.
- Queen Size Mattresses – Smaller than the king size ones, yet large enough to accommodate a couple, these are a perfect fit for small families or smaller rooms. These are also preferred by hotels and guest houses.
- Full Size Mattresses – Confused to be double mattresses, these are actually smaller and can comfortably accommodate a single person, leaving some extra space on the bed for them to stretch if they want.
- Twin (or Single) Mattresses – Most preferred for hostels and guest rooms, these are one of the smaller sizes of mattresses and are meant for the use of a single person.
- Custom Mattresses – Although a host of standard sizes are available in the mattress market, yet if none meets your criteria, you can always get one built of a custom size, as per your requirement.
Thickness – Having deliberated and finalized the size of the mattress, the next thing to look into is the thickness. Like the size, there are even standard thickness mattresses available aplenty. Generally, the mattresses have a standard thickness of 5” or 6”, depending on the user preference.
If you are not happy with either thickness, there is always an option to get a custom thickness of a mattress built from the manufacturer. This however, should be done only when you are absolutely sure about the dimensions you need or have been referred a thickness by your doctor. Else, it is always a better idea to go with the standard thickness.
Material – While the size and thickness of the mattress are important, a very important factor while making a mattress buying decision is the material that is used as a filler of the mattress. The material can improve or increase your back related troubles and also determine how soft or firm a mattress will be. Thus, it is crucial that the material being used is identified and understood properly, for a good sleeping experience.
- Cotton – Probably one of the oldest and most well-known materials that has been traditionally used for filling and is still in use. The natural fibres of cotton make air circulation easy and produce a cooling effect, necessary for a relaxing and peaceful sleep. This is the biggest reason, people still use cotton as the preferred filling material to this day. The softness of the cotton mattress is also famous.
- Coir – Another traditionally used and natural fibre like cotton, this is slightly coarser than cotton. However, its unique texture gives it better spring and bounce, making it a great alternative for cotton to avoid the problem of sagging.
- Spring or Coil based – Building on the learnings from the natural fibres, these days manufacturers have developed synthetic foam material embedded with springs or coils. This ensures the spring and bounce on the mattress minus the coarseness of the coir. Even sagging like cotton is no longer a problem.
- Memory Foam – After having tried and experimented with a lot of materials, manufacturers like Flo Mattress have come up with their own proprietary materials like the Responsive Memory Foam laced with Aloe Vera gel. The memory foam ensures equal distribution of the body weight, making the user feel weightless. This is essential for the body to relax completely after a long day and in good posture.
d. Softness or Firmness – This is an important parameter for those suffering from any form of back problems. Generally speaking, for those having a normal posture, a heavier body weight or those who prefer to sleep on their back or stomach, the firmer the mattress the better. Whereas for those who are lighter, sleep on their sides or already have a back problem, the softer version is much more preferable.
