Should I sleep on a hard or soft bed if my waist is bad?

Many people in life have symptoms of bad waist, especially some older people. After decades of hard work, they suffer from waist injuries, that is, lumbar muscle strain. When this kind of condition occurs in the waist, it will affect the patient's life and daily activities. The waist is a relatively special part. When lumbar muscle strain occurs, it requires a long period of recuperation, and you cannot do heavy physical work during the recuperation period.

It is not good to sleep on a soft bed. Regardless of whether you have lumbar muscle strain or not, you should not sleep on a bed that is too soft. A bed that is too soft can become low in the middle and high on the four sides under the pressure of the human body weight, which can easily cause increased tension in the waist and back muscles. Over time, it can easily lead to imbalance of local muscles and ligaments in the waist and back, directly affecting the physiological curve of the lumbar spine and causing uneven force on the intervertebral discs. Therefore, people with lumbar muscle strain should not sleep on a soft bed. For people with lumbar muscle strain, sleeping on a hard bed is good.

However, many people have certain misunderstandings about sleeping on a hard bed, thinking that it means simply sleeping on the bed board. This is a very wrong practice. The human spine is S-shaped when viewed from the side. Under normal circumstances, the waist needs certain support so that a certain physiological curve can be maintained when lying in bed. If your waist is not supported when you lie down, it will cause further strain and aggravate the symptoms of back pain. A bed that is too hard will have a certain impact on the protruding bones and joints of the body. When sleeping on a too hard bed, only the head, back, buttocks and heels can bear the pressure. The spine will be in a stiff and tense state, requiring the waist and back muscles to support it, and the desired relaxation effect cannot be achieved during sleep. Therefore, don’t be silly and lie on the bed. You can add a thin mattress to your bed to maintain the normal physiological curve of the spine.

The choice of bed should be based on health. For most people, a bed is just a tool for sleeping, as long as it looks good. In fact, the design of the bed has a great impact on personal health. You should not just look at its appearance, but also consider its value and whether it promotes human health so that people can have a good sleep. Is it really better to sleep on a hard bed than a soft bed? Most people think that sleeping on a hard bed is better than a soft bed. They think it can make people sleep more soundly and is good for health. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people with bad cervical vertebrae, sleeping on a hard bed is the most appropriate. In fact, this is just people's concept and has no scientific basis. According to researchers, sleeping on a hard bed is not good for your sleep or personal health, because the hardness of the bed cannot adapt to the person's own curves, which increases the burden on the muscles and cervical spine and may cause greater damage to them. Since we already know that sleeping on a hard bed is not good for human health, then sleeping on a soft bed must be good for the body? Is sleeping on a soft bed good? With the improvement of economic level, most families no longer choose hard beds, but more choose soft beds. So is sleeping on a soft bed really good for health? More than 90% of the soft beds on the market are made of steel springs. People sleeping on them are very soft and comfortable, as if they are in a paradise.
