With one third of one’s life spent in bed, the importance of the bed to a person cannot be overstated. After a day of standing, sitting, bending and other activities, the neck, waist and back are very fatigued, and at this time, if the spine is not allowed to get a correct and good rest during the night, there is a high risk of spinal problems for a long time. When resting in bed, people will encounter the problem of choosing a bed. Some people like soft beds, some like hard beds. What kind of bed is right for us and better for our spine. A bed that is too soft or too hard is not good for the rest of the spine and lumbar spine. Too soft mattress, will make the spine in a curved state, and the intervertebral disc is easy to slide backward, which in turn affects the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, resulting in lumbar muscle, ligament contraction, tension and spasm, aggravating the symptoms. Too hard mattress, the same bad, people’s hips and back to be thicker, mattress if there is no bit of elasticity, people in the flat and side lying, the waist has been suspended, in a state of tension, do not get a good rest, but also easy to trigger spinal lesions. Or some friends said, the doctor recommended sleeping hardboard bed, sleeping hardboard bed is not wrong. Sleeping in a bed with a certain degree of hardness can eliminate the pressure of weight bearing and weight on the intervertebral discs, which is conducive to symptomatic relief. But that doesn’t mean you have to sleep directly on a hard board. Too hard bed can not match the normal curve of the human spine, the waist is not supported, will appear back pain and other symptoms. A lot of practice shows that, whether it is a normal person, or patients with back pain spinal disorders, the best choice of bed with cotton pads on the plank bed, lying on your back to maintain the physiological curvature of the spine, so that the muscles of the whole body, especially the relaxation of the muscles of the lower back to relieve muscle tension. When you lie on your side, flex both hips and knees to eliminate side bending and back stretching of the lower back, preventing or alleviating low back pain. For normal people, sleeping more on a board bed can prevent spinal diseases and promote health; for patients with spinal diseases, especially lumbar disc herniation, it can consolidate the effect of treatment and reduce symptoms.
