Ah, a brand new mattress! Nothing quite like it. But, when shopping for a new mattress, many people make a few mistakes.
Namely, mistaking firmness for the support! So many believe that in order to get the best support for their body, they have to sacrifice comfort and plushness, but. What if we didn’t have to sacrifice comfort for support?
Why It Matters:
The myth…
Where did this myth come from? It’s been an old wives tale for many years that a firmer mattress is the cure to any back pain or posture issues someone might have. The truth? Is a bit more complicated than that.
Namely, there is no one type of mattress that will fit everyone. As the old saying goes, everybody is entirely unique! Sadly, what’s good for the goose is not always good for the gander, and it’s very important to listen to your body when it comes to what support you need.
Our body type affects our support needs. Someone with wider hips or shoulders will likely need a softer mattress in order to fully relax. Without a plush mattress, shoulders are not allowed to sink down, and nothing will rise up to fill the gaps in between. This can cause even worse back problems.
What’s The Best?
Most experts agree that if you’re not sure what your body type requires, go medium-firm!
