Could your old mattress be to blame?
A mattress is so important for your sleep. For some people, their mattress may be causing the most damage while they are sleep. Many people don’t realise that their pain may be directly attributed to their mattress.
A mattress can deteriorate up to 50% from its ‘new’ state over the course of 10 years. Mattress comfort layer compression, broken springs and retention of moisture are all part of common wear and tear and ultimately all have a negative impact on the level of support and comfort your mattress offers.
As a result, many people suffer from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and sore hips in bed.
Say goodbye to back, hip and shoulder pain
How do you know if your mattress is the cause of your discomfort? If you wake up each morning with tenderness in your hips, back or shoulders and find that after walking around or stretching out you stop hurting, it’s fair to say your mattress is probably contributing to your pain.
Choosing the right mattress for your body is one of the easiest ways to soothe this pain. Sleeping on a mattress not suited to your body can reinforce unnatural spinal alignment causing poor posture, straining muscles and pressure points. At SleepMaker, we take great pride in producing a wide variety of mattresses right here in Australia, and we have a wide range of mattresses specifically designed to support people with back pain.
While you sleep, your ligaments, spine and muscles should completely relax and repair themselves. During this important time your spine should be in neutral alignment, meaning your spine is level and doesn’t curve unnaturally.
It is also important that your whole body is supported rather than experiencing pressure on heavier areas like your hip and shoulder joints. Therefore it goes without saying, your sleeping positions affect your back pain too.
