In the past there has often been talk of the orthopedic mattress, that is the hard, resistant and non-deformable one, which gives well-being to the spine due to these characteristics. In reality it is often a belief that is not substantiated by any scientific evidence, so today it is preferable to use terms such as ergonomic.

With this word we therefore want to indicate a mattress capable of adapting to the shape of the body, giving it good support and avoiding the characteristic hollows that cause pain everywhere, making correct rest more difficult.

Why choose an ergonomic mattress

PO

When we lie down, the muscles must be able to relax, in order to allow the venous and lymphatic system to function properly, oxygenating the tissues. When the mattress is too hard, the body can suffer consequences such as numbness of the limbs, as the excessive stiffness will crush them.

Much depends on your body and needs based on any pathologies, but in general it is a rule that is good to follow if you do not want to suffer at night or during the day. For this reason we give space to the ergonomic mattress, which can follow the curves of our body, allowing the spine to rest. 

Curves such as the cervical, dorsal, lumbar, in fact, do not need stiffening but to be supported, to better unload the weight of the body and not create problems. 

Which orthopedic mattress to prefer

Returning to the title of our article, essentially an ergonomic mattress coincides with what is meant by orthopedic: even if it must maintain a certain rigidity, this does not mean that it must be like a wooden board because it must follow the curves physiological. 

An aspect that you cannot overlook is also transpiration, which allows the body to rest well. You will also have to choose it based on your build: if you are very sturdy it is better to opt for greater hardness, if you are thin, go for materials such as memory.

If you don't know where to look for the right one and at a good price, you just have to read here. 

How often should an orthopedic mattress be changed?

Even if you have decided to do a good shopping, buying a very expensive and valid mattress, after a few years it will lose its build quality, due to factors such as body weight or the fact that we always sleep in the same position. 

On average, the right time is every 15 years, but it can be lengthened if you perform maintenance such as turning it often upside down or changing towards, putting the feet in place of the head and so on, to rebalance the inside. 

Give importance to your weight

It is not a question of beauty, but calculating your weight according to the mattress to choose is essential if you do not want to make mistakes. In fact, staying on the mattress for many hours means subjecting it to great stress. 

For this reason it is good to make the choice based on this factor, but also to consider that, if you increase weight over time, the duration of the mattress will be irremediably reduced. Another aspect to consider is the night positioning, that is the position in which you sleep, since we will often stress the same area. 

How to know when to change a mattress?

To understand when the time has come, it is good to check for areas of deformity such as bumps, hollows or even a change in color, which can be an indication of an infiltration of moisture. 

To this can be added a loss of comfort, which affects the rest time, making it less performing and therefore less useful to better face the day. Over time, moreover, pathologies can occur in our body, which will make the mattress feel less comfortable.

If you start to suffer, for example, of backache, we will try to opt for other materials, such as water foam or memory or even the good old spring mattresses, which make the area that supports this part of the body less rigid. 

We must therefore always keep in mind that our conditions can also affect the moment in which we have to change the mattress, also bearing in mind that being thin does not mean that we will not soon have to think about a new model: the pressure exerted will always be the same. , according to the chosen mattress.
