Have you bought a high-quality mattress with a good composition, but it is still uncomfortable to sleep? Unfortunately, this happens if the bed is selected incorrectly and does not suit you in one of the characteristics. In this article, we will figure out where the inconvenience comes from and how to fix it.
Pain Between The Shoulder Blades
If you spend a lot of time sitting during the day, it is undesirable for you to sleep on too soft a surface, a mattress of moderate firmness with a pronounced orthopedic effect is more preferable.
Spending the whole day in a sitting position is unnatural for a person. The musculoskeletal system is in constant tension, posture deteriorates, and the back hurts. During the night, even a pronounced slouch can be corrected on a moderately hard surface, tension and pain in the thoracic back will go away.
You can increase the firmness of your mattress with an orthopedic topper with layers of coconut coir:
Uncomfortable To Sleep, Creases On The Skin
If you are uncomfortable sleeping in your favorite position, then when choosing a mattress, you did not take into account what position you usually spend the night in. And this is very important!
An orthopaedic bed mattress is suitable for sleeping on your back, which will maintain the correct position of the spine, unload it and help you rest. But for a person sleeping on his stomach, a hard surface can turn sleep into a real torment! If you sleep on your stomach on a hard surface, the soft tissues are compressed and may swell, and you may feel numbness in your arms and legs in the morning. Sleeping on the chest is especially uncomfortable and even dangerous for older women and men.
In this case, you can choose a model with different options for soft filling:
1. From memory. The material with shape memory adjusts to the contours of the body and does not put pressure on soft tissues. Swelling and creases do not appear on the skin:
2. Made of natural latex. This filler is very delicate, but reliably supports the body and does not squeeze the muscles:
3. From a layer of artificial latex. For a comfortable sleep on your stomach or side, you need to stand at least 6 cm. You can choose a PU foam topper on top of an existing mattress, if it is still in excellent condition, or a new mattress made of foam urethane, they are inexpensive, lightweight and often delivered in a roll:
Wake Up Your Partner In A Dream
A few years ago, the Bonnel block of dependent springs was popular, and now every second house has it. Many people sleep on it out of habit and do not know that the standards of quality sleep have already changed.
You swivel on a Bonnel block mattress and the springs connected to each other transmit vibrations throughout the mattress. When one of the partners is lightly asleep, he will wake up due to every movement of the other person on the bed.
To prevent this from happening, we recommend choosing:
- The model is on an independent spring block. In it, the springs are not connected to each other in any way, they better distribute the load over the surface, but most importantly, they do not transmit vibrations from movements to the other side of the bed.
- Springless mattress. The design without springs completely dampens the vibrations of sleeping people, even very restless people can sleep on such a mattress without any problems. In addition, springless mattresses are completely silent.
Uneven Surface
If springs protrude from the mattress or, on the contrary, pits and noticeable dents have formed that do not go away after a couple of minutes, after you get up from it, such a sleeping place is no longer suitable for healthy sleep and it needs to be changed.
In some cases, a worn-out model can still serve for 1-2 years, but under some conditions:
1. The depth of the dent does not exceed 1 centimeter. On top of such a mattress, you can lay a topper based on polyurethane foam. You need to choose a thin mattress of exactly the same size and not thinner than 8 cm.
2. There are several springs sticking out of the mattress. Let's say right away, if the surface of the spring model is completely deformed, several rows of the spring block "went" at once, this cannot be corrected. You need to pick up a new mattress and try to protect it from new damage. But if only 2-3 springs failed, try to set them on the back of the mattress.
It is also important that the spring model lies on a suitable base. If you sleep on an 1000 or 2000 spring block, which lies on a base with wide lamellas, do not be surprised that over time the small springs will fall into the wide gaps between the slats. To avoid this, you will have to install a base with narrow slats in the bed or choose a mattress with TFK springs or a springless product.
We warn you right away: all these measures will not last
long, if you notice that the surface of the bed has begun to deform, it can no
longer be restored, start looking for a new mattress.
