In the UK alone, it is estimated that 50% of adults are currently suffering from back pain, with 80% of people likely to experience back problems at some point in their lives. Many people don’t understand that a high quality mattress can help to reduce the discomfort of back pain.
Sleeping on a good quality mattress with the right level of support in the correct places can protect the muscles and give the right amount of support where it’s needed most to reduce stress placed on them.
If you suffer from back problems you will realise how vital it is to have the correct amount of support in your mattress. Buying a high quality mattress with excellent comfort and support can help to not only reduce the symptoms of lower back pain, but can also stop back pain in the future. Having a good quality and supportive mattress now can improve back health in the long term.
One of the main causes of lower back pain is from sleeping in an incorrect position from poor mattress support or sleeping on a low quality mattress. This creates stress on the back muscles placing them under strain, which then create pains in the back muscles.
Not only does a low quality mattress create this stress by placing the spine in a poor alignment, but it can also affect sleep patterns for an uncomfortable sleep, which means people are not sleeping long enough and being disturbed during the night.
If you have had lower back pain, you will realise how it can affect your life, not just disrupting your sleep but also making daily tasks difficult. Gardening, decorating and housework can become an irritant to back pain sufferers, and back pain also costs the economy £5bn a year in sick days, with 300,000 people claiming capacity benefits for back problems and 1.1m are disabled because of the problem.
Many of us keep our mattress for far too long and they start to show signs of use both on the inside and outside. An old mattress won’t give the right level of support and protection for the back muscles.
