Dealing with chronic back pain can be frustrating, especially trying to sleep with it. Sleeping on the wrong mattress for your body can worsen your back pain. That is why it is crucial to find a bed that can work with your chronic pain instead of against it. Pause&Sleep mattresses are ergonomically designed to encourage proper posture while sleeping, relax muscles and generally provide a healthy, wholesome sleep. Here are some ways our mattresses are ideal for those with lower back pain:
Medium-Firm
In the early days of lower back pain studies, many believed that sufferers should use a firm mattress. But, a more recent study found that patients suffering from lower back pain who used a medium-firm mattress reported less pain than those who sued a firm mattress. That is because mattresses that are too firm tend to push against your spin while mattresses that are too soft do not offer enough support.
On a scale from one to ten where one is very soft, five is medium, and ten is hard, our mattresses rate at about 6.5 or medium-firm. That makes our mattress just the right level of firmness for lower back pain sufferers. Even Goldilocks would agree!
100-Night Trial
To be sure a mattress feels comfortable, you should lay on it first to test it out. Back in the day, this meant going from store to store laying down on many mattresses for a few minutes. While you can test out more mattresses that way, you do not get as accurate of a feel of how sleeping on that mattress will be like. That is why we offer a 100-night trial on all of our mattresses. Adjusting to a new bed can take some time, and you can't know for sure how well a mattress works unless you know how quickly you can fall asleep on it. After 100 sleeps on our bed, you will get an accurate idea of exactly how it feels. Besides, we are reasonably sure by then that you won't regret your purchase.
Memory Foam
This material has gotten a bad rep and for little reason. Because memory foam is spoken about poorly by other bedding manufacturers, many are convinced it can't be good for those with lower back pain. The truth is, memory foam is one of the most expensive types of mattress material. Speaking poorly about it convinces customers to buy other mattresses made of cheap foam instead. At Pause&Sleep, we only use the highest quality of memory foam available. You can rest assured that your back's gentle curves will be adequately supported to keep your spine in line while you sleep.
