Choose The Right Mattress For Your Body Type

Choose The Right Mattress For Your Body Type

Just as you should select a pillow based on your sleeping style and to correct body problems, choose the proper mattress that will support your spine (and not cause pain).

When deciding whether you need a firm or soft mattress, look at your hips:

Your body type dictates the type of support you need.
If your hips are wider than your waist, a softer mattress can accommodate the width of your pelvis and allow your spine to remain neutral, as shown [above]. If your hips and waist are in a relatively straight line, a more rigid surface offers better support.

Choosing a mattress is a big deal, not just because it’s expensive and often difficult to comparison shop, but also because your mattress can greatly affect the quality of your sleep and health.
