Spring Mattress or Foam Mattress, Who Is the Savior of Patients with Back Pain?

At the end of a long day, what could be more comfortable than lying on a comfortable mattress? But for those who suffer from back pain for a long time, choosing a suitable mattress is not a trivial matter, and it may even become the key to relieve pain and improve the quality of life. There are many kinds of mattresses in the market, among which spring mattresses and foam mattresses have attracted much attention. Who is better and can be the "savior" of patients with back pain?

Spring mattress: the king of support with a long history

The history of spring mattress can be traced back to centuries ago, and it is one of the pioneers of modern mattress. Its basic structure is composed of a series of springs, which, as the core supporting structure of the mattress, provide important supporting force for the human body. With the continuous progress of technology, the spring mattress has undergone many changes.

In addition, the elasticity and breathability of the spring mattress are also worth mentioning. Good elasticity enables the mattress to quickly return to its original state and will not be deformed due to long-term use. The gap between the springs helps air circulation, keeps the mattress dry and comfortable, and reduces the sultry feeling and moisture accumulation, which is a good choice for those who are prone to sweating.

Foam Mattress: A Rising Star with Comfortable Fit

Foam mattresses, especially memory foam mattresses, have gradually emerged in recent years and have been loved by many consumers. Memory foam, also called slow rebound sponge, is a special polyurethane material with unique viscoelastic properties.

When you lie on the customizable memory foam mattress, it will gradually soften according to your body temperature and weight, and then closely fit your body curve. This feeling of fit is like being wrapped gently, which can evenly disperse the pressure of the body and avoid the pressure from being concentrated in certain areas of the back. For example, for people who often suffer from back pain, memory foam mattress can well fill the gap between waist and mattress, give full support to waist, reduce the burden of waist muscles and relieve pain.

Another remarkable advantage of memory foam mattress is its excellent sound insulation and anti-interference performance. Different from the spring mattress, when a person turns over or moves on the memory foam mattress, there will be almost no obvious vibration and sound, which is very friendly to people who sleep lightly and their partners who share the same bed.

However, foam mattresses are not perfect. Because of its material characteristics, the air permeability of foam mattress is relatively poor. During sleep, the human body will constantly emit heat and moisture, and the foam mattress may not be able to emit these heat and moisture in time, resulting in sultry sleep, especially in hot summer. In addition, some low-quality foam mattresses may release harmful gases, such as formaldehyde, which pose a potential threat to human health. Therefore, when choosing foam mattresses, we must choose products with reliable quality and in line with environmental protection standards.
