There is no best mattress in the world, only the most suitable mattress for sleepers. Based on this, mattress designers and manufacturers are always committed to developing and producing more comfortable and suitable for all types of mattresses. But before choosing a mattress, the correct knowledge, and understanding of their sleeping position, analyzing the choice to buy the most suitable mattress, to provide the basic conditions for their quality sleep, this thing is very necessary.
Sleeping on your back
Although the supine sleeping position is not the most popular, because this position only 8% of people are used to sleeping on their backs, in the history of human medicine is still the best sleeping position. To date, for most people, sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleeping position to choose. When you sleep on your back, your head, neck, and spine are in a neutral position. When you sleep on your back, you are less likely to experience pain, and these parts do not need to take on additional stress at this time. Sleeping facing the ceiling is also a way to counteract the acid reflux response. Sleeping on your back with your stomach underneath your esophagus prevents food or stomach acid from coming up your digestive tract, at which point a pillow that elevates and supports your head will do. However, snoring while sleeping on your back is a more dangerous behavior because it causes the tongue to block the breathing tube, significantly increasing the risk factor for people who suffer from sleep apnea (a condition that causes poor breathing). In addition, sleeping on your back can make snoring worse.
Sleeping on your side
When sleeping on your side, your torso and legs will be relatively straight, helping to reduce acid reflux, while back and neck pain symptoms can be significantly relieved as the spine is elongated. At the same time, it is less likely that you will snore in this position, as it helps to open the airways. It is also the best choice for sleep apnea patients. About 15% of adults worldwide choose to sleep on their side. The only drawback is that it may lead to long wrinkles or even deepen because half of your face is pressed against the pillow
Fetal position sleeping position
This is the most popular sleeping position for adults, with 41% of adults choosing this position. The fetal position sleeping position is more relaxed, sideways, torso curled and knees bent, especially when you sleep in the left fetal position, it is a very friendly position for pregnant women. This position improves blood circulation to the pregnant woman’s body and the fetus while preventing the uterus from pressing on the liver, which happens to be on your right side again. Also, this is a great posture for snorers. But remember not to curl up too tightly, otherwise, it will restrict your diaphragm from breathing and make your joints or back prone to soreness in the morning if you have arthritis when you wake up. You can prevent soreness by straightening your body as much as possible, avoiding tucking your chin into your chest, and by pulling your knees up. Of course, you can also put a pillow between your knees to relieve the pressure on your hips.
Sleeping on your stomach
Sleeping on your stomach can relieve snoring, but there is no benefit for other aspects. Moreover, only 7% of adults choose this sleeping position, which tends to cause back and neck pain and makes it difficult for the spine to maintain a neutral position. In addition, for stomach sleepers, it may be a symptom that causes numbness, tingling, pain, and irritated nerves in muscles and joints. It is advisable to choose other positions. If you have to sleep on your back to sleep well, try lying face down in bed to keep the airway open; it is not necessary to turn your head to the side and then support your forehead on the pillow to leave the breathing passage.
