Is my mattress any good?
Patients often ask the question, is my mattress any good? That is a tough question to answer considering we don't know the specifications of each mattress. Each person typically has a preference regarding the firmness of the mattress. Some like it really firm, whilst others like it softer. Those are all personal preferences.
The one thing that should be a constant when selecting a mattress, is the ability for your spine to retain its natural curves. The mattress must allow the thoracic kyphosis to sink in, whilst allowing the cervical and lumbar lordosis to maintain intact. It should keep the spine in a straight line. So no matter how you like it, as long as the spine is straight, whether you are sleeping on your back or side. That should be an important decision when selecting a mattress.
