Choosing the Correct Mattress to Avoid Back Pain

Did you know we spend a third of our lives sleeping? Consider this: if you spend even seven hours per night asleep, 365 days per year, that is 2,555 hours in one year alone on your mattress.
It is for this reason I recommend you research your mattress seriously.
Having a good night's sleep can make all the difference to the coming challenges of everyday life.
If you're not energised and refreshed you will not be effective at work.
Tiredness can have negative effects on your personal health and even your relationships! So What is Memory Foam? Memory foam is visco-elastic foam originally developed by a Swedish company for NASA.
It was used by NASA to help astronauts distribute the pressure of extreme G-forces when entering the atmosphere.
It's also sometimes called slow release foam.
How it works The material is heat and weight responsive; this simply means that as you lay on the mattress the foam will mould itself to your shape unlike a normal mattress that will remain flat.
Traditional mattresses work by means of springs which work by pushing you back when you apply pressure, this results in uneven pressure points along the body.
Why should I buy one? Physiotherapist, Chiropractors & Osteopaths recommend Memory Foam Mattresses' for those with medical conditions such as bad backs which are only exacerbated by inadequate mattresses.
Fibromyalgia sufferers have reported great pain relief having slept on a Memory Foam Mattress.
Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain in various parts of the body.
Consequently going to bed with these pains can often result in a restless painful night.
Having sensitive pressure points and sleeping on a traditional sprung mattress will serve to worsen the pain.
As with Back and Neck pain the mattress will allow your body to 'sink' into the mattress resulting in an even pressure throughout the body.
Bed Sizes? By law there are no universal standards of sizes or names for beds.
The terms used are merely descriptive and therefore there is no guarantee so we suggest you always check your sizes precisely.
The following are the most common sizes available: Single Usual Size (imperial): 3ft x 6ft 3in Usual Size (metric): 90 x 190cm Double Usual Size (imperial): 4ft 6in x 6ft 3in Usual Size (metric): 135 x 190cm King Usual Size (imperial): 5ft x 6ft 6in Usual Size (metric): 150 x 200cm Super King Usual Size (imperial): 6ft x 6ft 6in Usual Size (metric): 180 x 200cm
