How to choose a mattress
1, soft hardness
Preventive medicine experts believe that the best sleeping position should be the same as standing position. A mattress with good supporting function can not only give the body all-around support, but also keep the spine in a position similar to standing posture. Only when the spine is naturally bent can the muscles really relax, otherwise it will be replaced by the fatigue of backache when getting up, which requires the mattress to be moderately soft and hard.
2, material selection
There are many kinds of materials used in mattresses. At present, the mattresses on the market mainly include latex mattresses, full brown mattresses, spring mattresses, foam mattresses and air mattresses. Various mattresses have different effects.

Maintenance method of mattress
1, flip periodically. In the first year of purchase and use, the new mattress should be rotated back and forth or around the corner every two to three months to make the spring of the mattress bear uniform force, and then it can be turned over once every six months.

Don't jump on the bed. Jumping on the bed will make the mattress bear too much force at a single point, resulting in spring damage.
