Back to Articles | Next Article »
For those suffering with back pain, a mattress can be their best friend or worst enemy. An old mattress, or any variety that uses innerspring coils, can not only amplify back pain it can cause it.On the other hand, a latex mattress distributes weight evenly to eliminate painful pressure points.
If you wake up to soreness or if existing back pain is made worse by lying on your mattress, it is time for a replacement.
When pressure points develop, from the push-back from springs, or when an old mattress no longer provides proper support, back pain is quick to follow. For some people, the pain can be so debilitating that sleep is not possible. The resulting insomnia can spawn even more physical and emotional symptoms.
Like memory foam mattresses - the NASA inspired technology that revolutionized the bedding industry by doing away with innersprings - latex mattresses can provide the most comfortable sleep ever for those suffering from back pain.
Latex mattresses are temperature sensitive and soften when warm - from body height - is applied. As the mattress softens, the body is absorbed, and weight is distributed away from the body. This contouring effect supports totally supports the body and is proven to relief back pain.
Latex mattresses also assist back pain sufferers because they are available in more degrees of firmness than other mattresses. By having more choices when it comes to firmness, the consumer has a greater chance of customizing the mattress buying experience so that the greatest amount of pain relief can be afforded.
Even a moderately priced latex mattress is going to provide the user more comfort and less back pain than even the most expensive innerspring mattress. Even when compared to memory foam, latex is a competitive choice.
