Sleeping on the wrong kind of mattress can have detrimental long-term effects
on your health. The wrong mattress can damage the quality of your sleep,
leading to daytime drowsiness and irritability. A poor choice of mattress
can also cause or aggravate back or neck pain. There is no single correct
type of mattress. Whether you need a firmer or softer mattress will depend
on your individual body. Here at Mancini’s Sleepworld, a mattress
store in San Francisco, we are committed to helping you find
the right mattress for your needs.

Hard Mattresses

Sleeping on a hard mattress may take a little getting used to at first.
Hard mattresses offer less cushioning, which may cause initial discomfort.
However, hard mattresses provide a number of benefits for people who are
do not suffer from back pain or other skeletal or circulation-related
health issues. The harder surface provides more resistance, which, in
turn, places more pressure on your bones. According to the science of
sleep ergonomics, this allows your skeletal system to support more of
your weight, leading to decreased pressure on muscles, arteries, and veins.
As a result, blood can circulate more freely, which improves the quality
of sleep. In addition, when you sleep on a hard mattress, your lower back
is less likely to collapse. A collapsed lower back can constrict airways,
restricting the flow of oxygen. Ample oxygen circulation is crucial for
optimum sleep health.

Soft Mattresses

If you already suffer from arthritis, rheumatism, scoliosis or weak capillaries,
you may find it beneficial to choose a softer mattress.
A recent study suggests that sleeping on a medium firm, rather than a hard, mattress
may help to alleviate back pain. If you are currently a back pain sufferer,
consider selecting a softer mattress. There is evidence to suggest that
this choice may help you to lead a more comfortable, pain-free life.
