Lack of sleep can have a significant impact on your quality of life, social interactions, and even your mood1<\/sup>. Sleep deprivation can also cause a decrease in your work productivity, the greater number of sick days used, and result in increased injury rates due to poor response time and accuracy.<\/p>\n

A 2011 study by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) reports that 41% of women and 36% of men claimed their back pain was exacerbated by a poor night\u2019s sleep2<\/sup>. The pain can often be attributed to the firmness, size, or the offered back support of the mattress. If you\u2019ve ever woken up with a sore neck or back, you may want to evaluate the quality of your mattress. Your mattress can play an important role in maintaining your musculoskeletal health. Here is what to keep in mind when making a purchase.<\/p>\n

  1. Medium-firm mattresses can be beneficial for individuals with chronic mechanical low back pain and are considered more comfortable compared to soft mattresses. They also have been shown to improve sleep quality by 55% and decrease back pain by 48%.<\/li>\n
  2. The standing posture of an individual\u2019s spine should be similar to their sleeping posture. Since standing posture varies from individual to individual, mattresses that are custom made may be more beneficial in reducing pain.<\/li>\n
  3. Using an adjustable bed based on individual preferences is associated with increased sleep quality.<\/li>\n
  4. Mattresses that promote skin warming may improve sleep quality by reducing early morning awakening and enhancing deep sleep.<\/li>\n
  5. Soft mattresses decrease excessive compressive forces on your joints, however, mattresses that are more firm help to maintain proper sleep posture as they prevent sagging of the hips.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Take time to try out the bed before you buy and see if it\u2019s right for you. There are many options to consider when it comes to purchasing a mattress. Make sure to take the time to explore and do your research, especially if you are looking for specific features to meet your needs. A good night\u2019s rest is important for your musculoskeletal health and ensures you can continue doing your daily activities.
