Sleep is very necessary for the overall well-being and good health of every individual. Selecting the right Simmons organic mattress is a very personal choice and there are several things that you should consider that will enable you to make the right decision when deciding about your sleeping comfort.  

a. Your body type:

As compared to a body having less curvature, people having more curves should always opt for more cushioned and softer mattresses to provide extra comfort when sleeping.  

b. Let the mattress hold you instead of you holding onto the mattress:

Several soft organic mattresses can help you get the feeling that it gently holds you in place and can give you that cloud-like comfort without letting you sacrifice support.  

c. The position in which you sleep:

People sleep in different positions. Some sleep on the back, while some prefer to sleep on their stomach, and others side sleepers. Those who sleep on the back and stomach feel more comfortable on a flat and hard mattress, while the side sleepers require a mattress on the softer side so that support can be given to the side and their shoulders and hips can sink into the mattress. Those sleeping on their sides prefer to opt for softer mattresses as they help to keep the spine straight.  

d. Softer mattresses for people having pressure point problems:

Those who have pressure point problems opt for softer mattresses which add extra cushioning, thus adding extra comfort when sleeping. Sleeping on softer organic King mattresses will not aggravate the already existing pressure point problems and in turn, will offer more relaxation when sleeping.  

e. Mattresses for those who opt for a hard surface when sleeping:

Several people feel very comfortable sleeping on a hard surface and can sleep all night on a hard floor. For them, there are the hard latex or wool/cotton extra firm mattresses which are an ideal choice for this rare group of people. This group of people that sleeps on a harder surface instead of a cushioned surface, aids in keeping the spine straight which is essential for the overall well-being of a person.

f. Consider the age group you are in:

Smaller children have different support and weight requirements as compared to those in the higher age group. Your experience based on sleep at different stages in your life can help you select the right organic Grace mattress for yourself. As we age, our body experiences different kinds of pain and aches, and based on these changes people can select their desirable organic mattresses.  

g. Climate:

Natural latex and organic wool mattresses are better choices in hot and humid climates. Moisture can develop molds on other mattresses which may not be health friendly, so, it is important to consider what kind of mattress you will be used in different climates.  

The cheaper package might be easy however it can create havoc in case you aren't in a position to get a peaceful night's rest. Don't also try to slice costs by placing a brand new mattress on an outdated mattress base. By doing this you might lessen the effectiveness of your recently ordered mattress. Finding a mattress must not be something you ought to do without some research along with careful thinking.

I am sure you have heard from family members or friends that they were experiencing sleepless nights. Their excuses range from stress from work, relationships, and financial problems to medical conditions. In many cases, it could be simply the mattress they are sleeping on.

Sleeping on the wrong type of mattress not only leads to sleeplessness but can cause aches and chronic back pain. If you are already suffering from back pain then the wrong mattress may worsen your back pain. Conversely, the right type of mattress will help you sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed.

So what is the best mattress to sleep on especially if you have back pain? The answer is
one.

It all depends on the person's preference, lifestyle, sleeping position, and medical condition if any. There is no single mattress or sleeping posture that is the best for all people. What is perfect for one person may not work as well for another. Scientific studies on the correlation between mattress and back problems have also been inconclusive. What we do know is the fact that your whole body will relax while you sleep. Therefore it is very important to sleep well on a good mattress so that your back pain can heal faster.

With the dizzying variety of mattresses at your furniture malls and specialty bed stores, each claiming to be the best, choosing the right one is a real challenge. Here are some tips.

Sleeping Position and Matching Mattress

The type of mattress that is most suitable for your body depends to some extent on your sleeping position. So it is wise to examine the different types of sleeping positions. The most comfortable position to sleep in is determined by personal preferences and the type of back pain you are suffering from. Essentially there are three common sleep positions: on your back, on your stomach, and on your sides.

For back sleepers, putting a small pillow underneath your knees will reduce the stress on your spine and maintain the natural curve of your back. This is generally the best sleeping position with a mattress that offers the right support for the back. If you sleep on your stomach, then a firmer support surface is required to prevent spinal distortion which may lead to back pain.

Side sleepers are subject to pressure points as their weights rest on the smallest areas of the body and this result in bad circulation. Placing a bolster between their knees will help reduce the stress. Mattress with a softer and plush feel will be preferred.

Choosing The Best Mattress

It is not always possible to sleep on a mattress before buying it, but at least lie or sit on it in different sections until you feel comfortable about it. There are two important factors you have to consider when evaluating a mattress: good back support and comfort.

Support depends on the coil type, coil count, and connections between the coils. The coils should be made of steel and the thicker the coil, the more support the mattress will provide.

The coil count ranges from 300 to 800 per mattress and generally more coils offer better support. The coils must be interconnected by wires to prevent misalignment.

Remember to check these three important data before buying.

Other things you should ask the salesperson are the structures of the middle padding, insulation padding, and the spring box, which is the foundation of the mattress.

Comfort depends mainly on the upholstery and edge materials. The upholstery is the layers of foam and fabric that separate you from the coils. Plush designs like pillow top offer thick padding for a rich luxurious feel. If you prefer a less plush feel, select the padding with less upholstery. This is a personal preference. The edge of the mattress should also be made of strong material to prevent sagging and rolling off when you sleep near the edge.

More coils and thicker padding are generally more expensive and better in quality, but it is not an assurance that the mattress is more supportive and comfortable.

A soft and plush mattress may provide you with a comfortable feeling but not the support your back needs. The outcome is you may wake up the next morning with stiffness and aches in your body. If the mattress is too firm it may not conform to the natural curves of your spine and again your back will suffer from the same effects.

Do not be deceived by advertisements with bold claims. The best mattress for back pain provides good support and a high comfort level but is not necessarily the most expensive. Expensive mattresses are normally due to high-quality materials used but not necessarily better. Ultimately it is the body of the person who is responsible for deciding if a mattress is good or bad.

So you have to find a balance between good support and comfort level. If you can sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed without aches and stiffness then it is the best mattress for you.

We spend about 30% of our lifetime sleeping on a mattress so we should invest a bit more in a really good mattress.

If after spending all the effort in evaluating and buying a good mattress you still have persistent back pain, then it may not be due to the mattress, but an underlying back condition. The best advice is to see your doctor for a complete and detailed check on your health.

In many reviews and mattress reports, people find better sleep with those beds incorporated with lesser foam density. In addition to that, they cost less. If you go for the spring beds, make sure it has lesser coil springs as those are the ones that are too soft. The beds with fewer springs are also more durable as the springs are significantly thicker.

I am sure you have heard from family members or friends that they were experiencing sleepless nights. Their excuses range from stress from work, relationships, and financial problems to medical conditions. In many cases, it could be simply the mattress they are sleeping on.

Sleeping on the wrong type of mattress not only leads to sleeplessness but can cause aches and chronic back pain.

So is a harder mattress better? Yes, it is, although sometimes we will feel that a hard mattress is not comfortable at all. A harder mattress will provide the kind of support to your back. However, what I mean by hard is not a mattress that is as hard as a board. Try selecting a harder mattress that at the same time, provides comfort while you are sleeping.

You ought to have sufficient room to stretch and move unhampered whilst you rest. Most people aren't conscious of it regularly but our bodies shift and move around a reasonable amount during our rest. A cramped mattress could hamper your level of comfort and affect the quality of rest you get. Ordinarily, in case you share a bed with someone else a double bed is going to fit your space needs. King is generally the number one size the majority of mattress suppliers make. However superior quality suppliers for instance Tempur additionally make Super King 6ft large beds.

Have you ever woken up in the morning with agonizing pain in your lower back? If you have, then probably the mattress you were sleeping on is not suitable for you. If you are still sleeping on it now, you better change it as soon as possible before you experience another lower back pain in the future because of your mattress.

I also had an experience with lower back pain before. Luckily, I managed to find out that my mattress is the source of my lower back pain. I had been sleeping on it since I was still an undergraduate ten years ago. Every morning, I always woke up with pain in my lower back until one day my friend, who slept on my mattress, also experienced the same problem. Finally, it was dawn on me that it was not my back problem and that I had to change my mattress as soon as possible. Ever since I changed that old but comfortable mattress, I always wake up with a fresh mind and also a fresh body without experiencing any pain.

I am sure that many people out there, and possibly you, still keep your old mattress and sleep on it. I understand that an old mattress is always comfortable because our body has been used to it. However, if you do experience any pain, you have to bid farewell to that old mattress. The old mattress will most likely no longer give you the support to your back that it provided many years ago. This will only worsen your back problem and the comfort of it by a guilty comfort. Moreover, if it is soft, then it must be disposed of immediately. You are probably asking yourself what the problem is with a soft mattress. Is it not comfortable? Yes, it is, but the softness of the mattress is the one that causes your back pain. Even worse, the shocking truth is that the softer the mattress is, the more back pain you will have after sleeping on it.

Most people have the wrong conception as they think that a softer mattress is more comfortable and therefore better for your back. Yet, the fact is that it is not good for your back. When you flip your body at night and turn along the bed, the soft mattress does not provide good support for your back muscles. The muscles will instead become tense and they are strained. This is the cause of the back pain and therefore, the soft mattress is not good for your back.

So is a harder mattress better? Yes, it is, although sometimes we will feel that a hard mattress is not comfortable at all. A harder mattress will provide the kind of support to your back. However, what I mean by hard is not a mattress that is as hard as a board. Try selecting a harder mattress that at the same time, provides comfort while you are sleeping.

If you have not purchased your harder mattress now, and you are having back pain, you can try stretching and lying on the floor or on a harder bed. It will improve your blood circulation in your back, and therefore, it will promote your back healing. Try purchasing a harder mattress shortly so that you can say goodbye to your back pain. If your back pain still exists after some time, try consulting the nearest doctor and seek his advice. Back pain is a problem that cannot be ignored because it will only weaken your back from time to time.
