Mattress - Should I get a soft bed or firm?

The most important factor for selecting a mattress is personal comfort. If a bed feels good, it will largely be in the direction of better sleep and healthy sleep. However, many shoppers go about searching for a new mattress with preconceived notions of what "should" be sought.

The medical advice is often confusing. Some doctors say that a firm mattress is better for the media and some say, a soft mattress is better. But this advice isbe inconsistent and too simple, useful. The force is not directly on the proper support and comfort, so the advice is not as helpful as could be. Good advice would be to say, a mattress to get:


Reduces pressure points - also the pressure distribution on the surface of the body, not just the heavy parts of the body.
Keep your back in neutral position - helps the curves of the inner body (neck, back), and the curves Hin-body (hip, shoulder), maintaining anatural position.
Feels comfortable to you - your body is smart, he knows that contribute to personal comfort, of course, deep sleep and a natural position.
At the top of a long list of health benefits in latex and memory foam is its ability to reduce pressure points and provide appropriate support. Beds foam contour to the shape of your body, pressure points better than almost any other type of sleep surface.

Foam mattresses are available in differentHardness produced based on the strength of the foam used for the mattress and the bed is like. Both latex foam mattresses and memory are composed of two or more layers of foam. The top layer is soft contours of your body and offers gentle support. The lower layer or layers to provide good support, raise the correct posture.

How to support the force and the force measured foam foam is measured in units called load ILD (InitialDistraction). Most latex mattresses and memory foam layers have 10-20 ILD. Foam ILD is a measure (in pounds) of rigid foam offers if a large, flat plate in a block of foam 25% of its total depth is pressed. measure other words, it feels as solid / soft surface of a foam block. ILD is stronger upper and lower ILD is softer.

The support of a bed of foam is expressed as a "support value" and is derived from Figures 2 and 25ILD 65ILD. Action 25ILDResistance at 25% of the depth of the foam and 65ILD measures the resistance to 65% of the depth of a piece of foam. The separation in 25ILD 65ILD, you get the value of support. support value indicates how well a piece of foam to support you if you solve the problem. Will be the backbone in a neutral position, or it will collapse entirely and let the hips sink too bump in the mattress and the base layers more difficult?

Buy what you like, it is becoming increasingly common forILD retailers have resistance values ​​available in retail. This is useful when read by a producer. But it's not apples to apples comparison between a producer and another. The support is not available in retail value, and again, they would not read to compare between different actors, so it's not a good comparison tool.

It 'important to understand that it is smooth and solid latex or memory foam mattresses areare able to optimum support. hardness of the foam is not a direct indicator for the support. The choice will be happy you should not sleep at night.
