One of the most common sleeping pains cited by our customers is back pain. This usually stems from a mattress being too hard or soft on your spine and joints. Here at Memory Foam Mattress Direct we know how important sleep is to our customers; it’s the cornerstone of any healthy lifestyle and is essential for both physical and mental well-being.

Modern memory foam mattresses can help you to sleep better, providing lumbar support where you need it most. Of course, with so much choice, it pays to know a little bit about why a quality memory foam mattress can help soothe away those aches and pains.

To get the best possible nights sleep, your spine should be straight when you lay on your side and follow a natural curve when you lay on your back. The key benefit of a high quality memory foam mattress is that it moulds to the contours of your body, letting you experience the ’sinking’ sensation whilst still providing excellent support.

Firstly, it’s time to test your current bed. Lay on your side – your spine should be straight. If your mattress is too hard or firm you will get aches and pains on pressure points at the heaviest parts of your body. This can lead to reduced blood circulation and increased pressure on your back and neck as the muscles work harder to keep your spine straight.

This is why, after a poor nights sleep, not only will you feel tired mentally, but physical symptoms such as sore joints will manifest themselves too.

For mattresses that are too soft, a lack of mattress support will see you expending more energy to turn over and promote poor spine alignment. Again, your muscles will be working harder – they have to support your body because your old mattress can’t.
