Eighty percent of people in the UK will experience back problems during their lives and it is predicted that 50% of adults currently have back pain.. Many people don’t realise the health benefits that a good quality mattress offers reducing the onset of back pain.

Buying a high quality mattress that gives support in the right place that the body needs can help to protect and support the back by reducing the stress placed on them and providing the correct levels of support.

If you have back problems you may already know how vital a matress with the right amount of support and comfort is. Having a good quality mattress with optimum comfort and support can help to not only relieve the symptoms of lower back pain, but can also prevent back pain in the future. Having a good quality and supportive mattress now can improve back health in the long term.

One of the most common causes of lower back pain is from sleeping in an awkward position from lack of mattress support or sleeping on a poor quality mattress. This causes stress on the back muscles putting them under strain, which then leads on to pains in the back muscles.

Not only does a poor quality mattress cause this stress by putting the spine in the wrong alignment, but it can also affect sleep patterns giving a poor and uncomfortable sleep, which results in people not sleeping long enough and being disturbed during the night.

If you have experienced lower back pain, you will understand how it can affect your life, not just disrupting your sleep but also making everyday tasks difficult. Gardening, housework and decorating can all become an irritant to back pain sufferers, and it also costs the UK economy £5bn a year in sick days, with 300,000 people currently claiming capacity benefits for back problems and 1.1m disable from the problem.

Many people keep their mattresses for far too long, to the extent to which they begin to show signs of wear and tear on the outside, not just the inside of the mattress. When a mattress is getting too old, it will no longer provide the right level of support and protection for the back muscles.

Memory foam mattresses and latex foam mattresses are supportive and effective mattresses that contour to your body, which means that your back muscles are protected in the correct places and will prevent stress on your joints. At Click 4 Beds, we stock memory foam mattresses and latex foam mattresses available from Breasley, Nestledown, Sleepeeze and Airsprung.
