Mattress guidelines for sleep comfort- How adjustable airbeds can impact sleep back pain: |
 Mattresses are a personal choice. When searching for the best mattress, perhaps
the most important thing to remember is that adjustable airbeds are the perfect
answer for back pain sufferers who need the airbeds adjustability
push-button firmness function to keep their body and spinal area
STRAIGHTENED OUT DURING SLEEP. Also, it is harder for two partners to find a mattress they can
both get comfortable on.
Often, couples are forced into a "compromise mattress" because each partner enjoys a different firmness level they each like. NOTE: This is one of the great advantages offered with our adjustable airbeds mattresses. Likewise, there is no single sleep position known to be best for all people. This is due to several factors: |
| There are many causes of back problems, and different back conditions may
respond better to specific types of beds, air bed mattresses and sleep positions.
There is a high degree of personal preference for mattresses, and what works
well for one person may not work well for another.
Unfortunately, many mattresses with springs and padded top comfort layering will literally 'deform' over time due to body weight eventually causing springs or padding to permanently compress and back pain for you as your spinal area actually bends and causes your back pain. This is where the new push-button firmness adjustable airbeds really are a "dream come true". These indentations can cause even more back problems as the crucial body lumbar region becomes "sunken" which causes back pain. Fortunately, the new technology advancements in airbeds and the NASA Space Agency designed 'visco memory foam' have solved many of these problems because they don't rely on inner springs for support. |
| Creating an environment conducive to sleep is very important in determining how we sleep. Using the new comfort adjustable airbeds and inviting bedroom can also be effective sleep aids, and can make a difference in the quality of sleep experienced. Understanding how your body and brain benefits from a higher percentage of deep rem(restful Radid Eye Movement DREAM SLEEP STAGE) sleep is the key to why so many people have turned to the adjustable airbeds for back pain problems. |
The following tips can help create a restful adjustable airbeds sleep environment: |
| Body or neck pillows to provide support; pillows under the knee, or between the knees if a patient sleeps on his side, can relieve stress on painful areas. |
| High quality airbeds are both comfortable and provide adequate back pain support relief. If it allows for adjustability of firmness the resulting relief of pain and falling into a deeper sleep faster can make all the difference. Every body's size, shape, weight and physical form affects how well the mattress 'adapts' to allow restful sleep. Again, what could possibly be more perfect for morning back pain from a too-soft mattress than an adjustable airbeds push-button controller system? |
| Choosing the best mattress for low
back pain may be the single most important decision you make to find the
perfect supporting surface that helps you wake up with minimized morning
back pain. There are many benefits of good quality memory foam
padded airbeds when it concerns pain relief and
other sleep problems.
Sleeping on the wrong mattress has negative consequences for low back pain. A mattress lacking in back support reinforces poor sleeping posture, strains muscles and does not help keep the spine in alignment, all of which can increase low back pain. The patient also sacrifices sleep comfort if they do not choose a mattress that matches their individual preferences. Airbeds that provide both sleep comfort and back support helps reduce low back pain, allowing the structures in the spine to really rest and rejuvenate during the night. |
| With the variety of different new
technology mattresses on the market, choosing the right mattress for
sleep comfort and back support can be a confusing decision.
For people with low back pain, it’s definitely worth it to take time to select the best quality adjustable airbeds for their back - increasing the adjustable airbeds are being raved about by people who have suffered sleep disorders and back pain before switching to their memory foam topper airbeds. The more sleep research and smart online airbeds mattress shopping you do gives you the best chance of making a wise sleep decision that could greatly improve the quality of your daily life - and save you a lot of cash buying at factory direct ship prices. Maybe that's why airbeds have become so popular the past 10 years. |
| Choosing the best airbed mattress for patients with low back pain or chronic sleep
problems like insomnia and frequently waking up during the night is critical.
The new digital number push-button controller airbeds mattress combines adjustable firmness control and "body forming memory foam" comfort layers have proven to be the best choice for many people. There is no doubt that both COMFORT and BACK SUPPORT are extremely important in falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer. This promotes a higher "quality of sleep" that lets many people reach the important REM "deep sleep cycle" found to be the most restful and refreshing sleep. |
|
| Personal preference should
ultimately determine which brand of airbeds to purchase. Any
mattress that helps someone sleep without pain and stiffness is the best
mattress for that individual. There is no single mattress that works for all
people with low back pain. Patients should choose their adjustable airbeds model
based on what meets their
standards for comfort and support and allows them to get a good night’s sleep.
|
 Find a mattress with sufficient back support to reduce low back pain.
Good airbeds should provide support while allowing for the natural
curves and alignment of the spine. Proper back support from the
controllable firmness adjustable airbeds also helps the
patient avoid muscle soreness in the morning. A recent study indicates that
medium-firm mattresses usually provide more back pain relief than firm
mattresses. |
| Achieve a balance between back support and sleep comfort when buying airbeds. Overall comfort while sleeping on the mattress is equally important as sufficient back support. Sleeping on a mattress that is too firm can cause aches and pains on pressure points. A medium-firm mattress may be more comfortable because it allows the shoulder and hips to sink in slightly. Patients who want a firmer mattress for back support can get one with thicker memory foam padding for even greater comfort. |
| This is probably why the new adjustable airbeds, which offer push-button control of firmness, and still contour to your body shape are increasing in popularity. Another reason the airbeds with a generous top layer of visco elastic "memory foam" have achieved such success is the fact that most have two internal - and separately push-button controller adjustable air bladders. This solves the age-old problem of having two people with different body sizes, weights, sleep problems and body shapes of trying to find a mattress comfortable for both partners. |
| Know when it’s time to try one of these new-fangled airbeds? If an old mattress sags visibly in the middle or if the patient is no longer sleeping comfortably on the mattress, it is probably time to purchase a new one. Putting boards under a sagging mattress is only a short-term fix and may cause more back problems and low back pain in the long run. If the old mattress is still comfortable for the patient, he or she may choose to wait before buying the new adjustable airbeds. But, sooner or later, the controller adjustable airbeds will make sleeping a lot more comfortable - and being awake a lot less painful - especially when that morning mattress back pain is gone. |
| Shop for the best value and quality of the airbeds mattress rather than for just the lowest price. Finding a high-quality mattress is usually worth the investment, considering the effect a mattress can have on low back pain and sleep comfort. However, a higher price is no guarantee that the mattress is more comfortable or more supportive than a less expensive mattress. Especially if you are shopping online, many companies offer very high quality airbeds that are shipped directly to your home from the factory. You might have to wait a little longer for your new airbeds arrival, but the cost savings compared to paying high retail store prices are well worth the wait. |
| Be aware of ALL mattress advertising gimmicks. Claims that a mattress is “orthopedic” or “medically-approved” should be viewed skeptically. There has not been extensive medical research or controlled clinical trials on the topic of mattresses and low back pain. The individual patient must determine whether or not extra features on a mattress make it more comfortable or supportive for the back. |
| The right mattress can significantly contribute to having a good night’s sleep and waking up feeling rested and refreshed. Sleeping on the wrong mattress can cause sleeplessness, back pain, and overall aches and pains. For people with a back condition, sleep can aggravate the pain if the mattress isn’t a good fit. That's where the new adjustable airbeds come in. |
| Take good care of the new mattress. It is recommended that owners reposition their mattress every six months to ensure that the mattress is evenly worn. This includes rotating 180 degrees and flipping the mattress pillowtop lengthwise on a regular basis if you purchase a traditional "innerspring" style mattress. |
|
If you decide the new technology of airbeds sleep is for you, look for the higher quality pillowtop models that have REVERSIBLE zip off pillowtops that can be dry-cleaned to maintain even wear, removal of dust mites and in case of "accidental spills" that would ruin the "old-style innerspring" models. |
| The bottom line is that the type of mattress that is best for any particular person is really a matter of personal preference. That being said, there are a number of useful guidelines when selecting a mattress or airbeds - as well as suggestions for sleep positions - that are discussed in this web site. These guidelines can be especially important to help people with back conditions to help them sleep more comfortably. |
| Selecting airbeds online can offer extra savings if you shop wisely and
avoid "retail stores with retail priced web sites". Great deals are possible from
companies that offer airbeds with direct factory shipping - saving you the higher
overhead "retail stores" need to cover. Some even offer very high
quality airbeds with visco memory foam, digital memory air systems and
high quality reversible pillowtops.
The "extreme high quality" airbeds even offer dust mite cover protection - like the famous Hercules memory foam cover - and the highly regarded vulcanized rubber canvas air bladders like those selling in some "retail mall stores" at a FACTORY DIRECT SHIP price. |
