Back Pain and your Mattress

Do you experience back pain? A customizable latex mattress can help! There are three types of back pain: Nerve pain, pain caused by muscle spasms or pain caused by pressure point issues. Depending on the type of pain you have, our team here at the Natural Mattress company can help you pick the perfect customized mattress for you. If we didn’t hit the exact mark the first time, within 90 days you can do a latex exchange and make your mattress softer or firmer.

 

The most intense back pain is usually caused by pressure on the nerve. This can be from a disc problem or an old injury. It is possible you may experience sciatica, which is a sharp pain moving down the leg. In this case a firmer mattress is probably best to give support for your spine. However, there is no one mattress firmness fits all. What an individual considers firm can vary from person to person, so it is best to have flexibility with your mattress when dealing with back issues. One thing to keep in mind is a firm mattress is good for support, however a hard mattress may cause your body to not be able to relax which will cause stiffness and pain.

 

Back pain may also be caused by muscle spasms instead of a disc injury. You may experience this type of pain after working out to hard, or when waking up in the morning if your mattress is no longer supporting you correctly. If your back pain goes away after you move around a little or after your body warms up, muscle spasms could be the cause. If this is the type of back pain, you are experiencing feel free to choose a softer mattress if that is what you prefer.

 

A third kind of back pain is discomfort from pressure points caused by a hard, unyielding mattress. If you are a back sleeper, you may notice pain in your tail bone or base of the spine. If you sleep on your side, your shoulders or hips may ache. In this case, you may need a softer mattress. You can achieve this by adding a topper to your overly firm mattress, or if its time replace your current mattress opt for something softer. The Talalay latex Savvy Rest provides offers great pressure point relief. Omi has a structured wave layer. Ergovea has a stretchy thinner mattress cover that gives you a different take on a latex mattress.
