The right mattress does not guarantee a cure, but at least it will not allow back problems to worsen. And before you buy an orthopedic mattress , you need to know what they are, how they differ and how to choose the one that is right for you.
Mattresses with and without springs
In the store you will be greeted by the widest selection of products and without knowing the minimum principles of the device of orthopedic mattresses, you can get confused and take something completely different from what your back needs for a comfortable sleep. Mattresses are divided according to the type of performance:
Spring loaded;
Springless.

But there is a small minus in springless mattresses, they more quickly lose their orthopedic properties, cease to keep their shape (caked).
Springs are different
Spring blocks are of dependent type and independent.
Dependent spring blocks (bonnel) - in such blocks the springs are interconnected and the body weight acts on one spring, which transfers the load to the surrounding springs, creating a failure effect.
Independent springs are the best option. Each spring in such a block stands separately and is sealed in a separate case. All such springs do not act on each other and therefore can ideally support all body contours.
Independent springs have different diameters, therefore, the number of springs differs per 1 sq. The average density of springs in a block is 200-250 pieces per 1 sq. If you have back diseases, then the best choice for you would be a density of 500 per 1 square meter and higher.
Springless mattresses
This type of mattress is made from one material or from combined layers of several materials. In springless products, materials such as are used:
Foam rubber;
Latex;
Polyurethane foam;
Coconut fiber.

Before making a final choice, you must consult a doctor. After consultation, he will tell you what rigidity to choose the product - this will allow you to choose the right mattress for your back.
