Incorrect spine position.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL BED SYSTEM?
Your bed, truly a dear friend
The upright position distinguished the human species from others but resulted in a particular "S" shape of the spinal column. Optimal for upright movement, this specific structure´s problems can lead to painful conditions such as back pain, lumbago, lumbar and cervical osteoarthritis, disc herniation, etc. To avoid their development, it is essential to sleep on bedding that allows the spine, even when extended, to stay in a position identical to that when upright.
Failure to achieve complete relaxation delays and even prevents one from reaching deep sleep phases (paradoxical sleep) creating physiological shortfalls, psychophysical stress, a feeling of exhaustion, and impaired reactivity. Body conformation and the positions taken during rest are the main elements to take into account to achieve the optimal bed system, which will directly promote sleep quality and hence quality of life.
The morphological conformation (slender, short, obese, lean etc.) and positions taken during rest (mainly folded, on the back and on the side) directly determine the weight distribution of the extended body. These elements mean that standard proposals can be often ineffective or even have the opposite to the desired effects.
This results in painful conditions caused by compression of the intervertebral discs on the spinal nerves.
Prevents relaxation of the muscular system which works in vain to correctly position the spine.
This results in compression of the vascular lymphatic system in contact areas.
Incorrect spine position.
A bed that is too soft does not support the column effectively. The heavier parts (thorax, pelvis) sink into the bed and the position becomes quickly uncomfortable.
The body is not sufficiently supported, the muscles and the column contract and can not rest.
Perfect mattress, perfect spine alignment.
The right balance must be found and depends on your size, your weight, your morphology and especially your preferences.
Obviously a person weighing 45 kg does not need the same mattress as another weighing 120 kg.
The example above shows a perfect bed that fits around body supporting it at different pressure points.
Incorrect spine position.
The prominent body parts are under pressure, blood flow is disrupted and there is no spinal support during the night.

If you are someone who finds it difficult to sleep, you may be tempted to look for the cause elsewhere than your mattress. Yet it might actually be the culprit…
A very large scale investigation reveals the modern sleeping habits where the average duration of nocturnal sleep is 7 hours and 6 minutes.
We often hear complaints around us in the morning about sleep disorders and back pain! Simply, suitable bedding can significantly improve these problems and symptoms. The golden rule of a good sleep is a great mattress. It must give way where the pressure is higher, at the shoulders and pelvis, while supporting the body at waist level. It is a myth that a good mattress should be firm or, on the contrary, flexible.
The type of mattress you sleep on plays an important role in back problems. When lower back pain occurs, we are often advised to use a firmer mattress. In fact we should instead choose bedding that is not too hard! A bed that is too hard does not adapt to the weight of the chest and pelvis. The inner curves are not supported and thus muscles cannot relax during sleep.
