Back pain and looking for a new mattress?

Due to an oversupply, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. Below, you can easily find the mattress our physiotherapists recommend for you.

Hard or soft sleep?

  • A soft mattress?

    A bed that's too soft causes an unnatural curvature of the spine, causing the pelvis to sink too deeply and compressing the discs in the lower back. This also puts stress on muscles, ligaments, and joint capsules, both in the side and supine position. Furthermore, a sleep system that's too soft restricts natural freedom of movement during sleep.

  • A hard mattress?

    When sleeping on your side or back, an unnatural curvature of the spine develops when the waist is insufficiently supported and the shoulders and pelvis experience excessive pressure. This leads to poor circulation, pain in the shoulders, hips, and ribs, and restless sleep. This often results in a semi-prone or full-prone sleeping position, which is not a good sleeping position.

  • A good mattress!

    A good sleep system combines firm and soft zones in the right places, with a firm zone around the pelvis to accommodate weight and a soft zone at the shoulders for optimal comfort. The waist needs extra firm support, as this is where it requires the most support. The exact firmness should always be tailored to the sleeper's body characteristics.
