Is the mattress hard or soft? What about the thickness?

　　 Is the mattress hard or soft? I believe this is a question of many people. Modern people have poor sleep quality due to various reasons. So I hope to choose a more comfortable mattress to protect our sleep quality. So when we choose a mattress, should we choose hard or soft? And how thick should it be? Let us discuss these issues together.

　　 Is it better to have a hard mattress or a soft one? Our parents have heard that it is better to sleep on a hard bed. But the editor thinks that this statement is not quite right. Because the bed is too hard, the pressure will be concentrated, the spine will bend when sleeping on the side, and the normal physiological curvature cannot be maintained. Of course, the bed should not be too soft.　　A mattress that is too soft will cause the body to sink and cannot maintain the normal curvature of the spine. A good mattress should be moderately firm. By the way, here is a piece of knowledge for everyone. The softness and 'hardness' of sleep feeling is determined by density (D). The higher the density, the harder the sleep feeling; the lower the density, the softer the sleep feeling. Let's take a latex mattress as an example for everyone. The density of latex mattresses on the market is usually 70~95D. This soft and hard range is suitable for most people. So when we buy, if we don’t know whether the mattress is hard or soft, we can experience it separately according to this density parameter. This can help us better know whether the mattress is hard or soft.

　　 I explained to you whether the mattress is hard or soft. Here we look at how to choose the thickness of the mattress. Here we still use latex mattresses as an example for everyone. Generally speaking, the thickness of latex mattress is more than 12cm, which is enough to provide the comfort and support required by the human body during sleep. However, as the thickness of the latex mattress increases, the comfort and support of the latex mattress also increase proportionally. But when the thickness of the latex mattress reaches 20 cm, this change is not so obvious. So when we buy latex mattresses, the thickness should be between 12cm and 20cm. By the way, I will give you a little knowledge of popular science. That is, for the elderly and some people with waist problems, doctors often recommend 'sleeping on a hard bed.' Many people think that the doctor recommends that you sleep on a wooden bed directly. This is not right. The correct way is to put a layer of 3~5cm latex mattress on the hard board bed. The proper softness of the cushion can fit the changes of the physiological curve of the human spine, avoiding the slowdown of local blood circulation and the increase of muscle tension.

　　 The above is a related introduction about the good question of whether the mattress is hard or soft. I hope it can help everyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact mousse. Related recommendation: How thick is the latex mattress? Is it good to sleep on the latex mattress?
