What is the best mattress for the back?

If you're looking for the best mattress for back pain, it's important to know that a mattress should be chosen based on your body type. There's no perfect mattress that suits everyone. The mattress zones should correspond to the proportions of your shoulders, chest, waist, and pelvis. A good mattress is one that allows your back to lie straight when sleeping on your side. The base also plays a role: a mattress for a box spring is different from one for a slatted base.

What to look for when purchasing a mattress?

  • Number of different zones

    A high-quality mattress typically consists of 7 zones: a head zone, a soft shoulder zone, a firm waist zone, and a medium pelvic zone, all symmetrically positioned. The structure of these zones and the varying firmness levels ultimately determine whether your back is properly supported. So, not every 7-zone mattress is guaranteed to be perfect!

  • Type of material

    The materials chosen for the mattress finish significantly influence its ultimate comfort, ventilation, and durability. Choose natural materials like cotton, wool, and wild silk whenever possible. The mattress cover should be made of a stretch material to ensure support and comfort.

  • Hardness

    The only parameter you can use when testing a mattress is subjective comfort. Firmness is naturally chosen based on your body weight, but it's certainly not the only indicator of a good mattress. When evaluating a mattress, you should primarily consider the position of your spine. Your preferences can, however, be taken into account.

What is the best mattress on a slatted base?

If the slats of the base are adjustable in firmness and offer sufficient flexibility, we will provide the support provided by the slatted base. The ideal mattress is a resilient natural latex mattress that provides good support. If the base is not adjustable, the support should come from an (adjustable) pocket spring mattress.

What is the best mattress for a box spring?

A box spring is a flat, non-adjustable surface. Therefore, the support must come entirely from the mattress. The only good option is a pocket spring mattress, preferably one with adjustable spring firmness and a customizable mattress.

Types of mattresses

  • Latex mattress

    Natural latex is a type of rubber extracted from the sap of the rubber tree. This sap, similar to pine resin, hardens into a rubbery mass and is processed into latex foam after transport. Synthetic latex is made from petroleum and chemically mimics natural rubber. We prefer natural latex because of its better ventilation and environmental friendliness.

  • Pocket spring mattress

    A pocket spring mattress consists of metal springs in separate pockets, allowing them to move independently and create different zones. The springs provide support, while the top layer distributes pressure. Unlike a slatted base system, where the base is adjustable, the mattress alone determines sleeping comfort.

  • Cold foam mattress

    Cold foam mattresses owe their name to the production process, in which the foam is poured into cold molds. This process is known as "cold cure molding." The material is made of polyurethane and is known for its resilience and longevity. Mattresses made of this foam are also called High Resilience (HR) foam.

  • Memory foam mattress

    Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, NASA foam, or memory foam, is a material that slowly returns to its original shape after compression. This process typically takes between 0.5 and 5 seconds. Memory foam also responds to body heat by softening.
