What role does the mattress play?

Choosing the right mattress plays a crucial role in nighttime relaxation. When buying a mattress, you should make sure that the mattress is just hard or soft enough to fill in the natural curves of the body and allow prominent parts of the body to sink in. Narrow curvatures include the lower spine in the supine position and the waist in the side position.

In the lateral position, the hips and shoulders are the most prominent parts of the body. The aim is to ensure that the spine is just as straight when lying down, both in a lateral and supine position, as when standing. A constant incorrect posture during the night can lead not only to hip pain but also to back or neck pain.
