Is It Normal to Ache with A New Mattress?

It's a puzzle many face – you invest in a new mattress expecting comfort, only to wake up with back pain.
Is it normal?
Yes, it's normal to experience aches with a new mattress initially. Your body may need time to adjust to the different support and sleeping positions. This discomfort usually subsides after a brief adjustment period, typically around 21 days. If persistent, it may indicate a mismatch, and a mattress trial period or consultation with experts is recommended.
But first ! Let's explore why your mattress might not be the ideal fit:

Reasons Why Your Mattress Plays Pranks

Poor Support: Your mattress might be the culprit if it fails to provide adequate support to your spine.

Sleeping Position vs. Mattress Firmness: Your sleeping position dictates the ideal mattress firmness:

Back Sleepers: Opt for a medium-firm mattress to maintain spinal alignment.

Side Sleepers: A medium-soft mattress provides pressure relief at key points like shoulders and hips.

Stomach Sleepers: Firm mattresses prevent deep sinking that can misalign your spine.

Adjustment Period: Initially, your body may need time to adapt to the new mattress. This period can involve changes in support and sleeping positions, potentially leading to temporary discomfort.

Is Your Mattress Supportive Enough?

Spinal Alignment: A good mattress embraces your body's natural curves, avoiding any unnatural bending or twisting of the spine.

Edge Support: Essential for those who sleep near the edge, robust edge support ensures the entire mattress surface is usable and safe.

Even Weight Distribution: A supportive mattress evenly spreads your weight, aiding circulation and preventing pressure points.

1.The Base-Mattress Compatibility Check

Platform Base: Offering flat, sturdy support, platform bases are versatile, pairing well with various mattress types.

Adjustable Base: These bases, adjustable via remote, are favored by those with specific health needs. They work well with most mattress types.

Pro Tip: Ensure your base and mattress are a compatible pair to avoid compromising support and longevity.

2.Quality Matters: Evaluating Your Mattress

Durability: Watch out for signs of wear like sagging, which can lead to an uneven surface and, subsequently, discomfort.

Materials: Higher-grade materials not only last longer but also maintain better breathability, reducing the risk of overheating.

Comfort: A mattress that fails to cushion your body properly can exacerbate pressure points and stiffness.

Effective Solutions on How to Fix for Mattress-Induced Back Pain

If your mattress is the source of your back pain, aches, and stiffness, don't worry. There are several practical solutions to consider, each tailored to address specific issues and enhance your sleeping experience. Depending on your specific needs, you may need to invest in a new mattress or frame or rely on mattress add-ons like pillows and toppers.

1. Invest in a High-Quality Mattress

Hybrid Mattresses: This type of mattress consists of a blend of two or more materials such as coils with foam layers. This combination is meant to provide balanced support and added breathability. EGO HOME’s Hybrid provides increased responsiveness to pressure and motion and offers enhanced breathability with the addition of our propriety Gel AeroFusion™ Memory Foam.

Memory Foam Mattresses: These mattresses consist of memory foam, which gives it a viscous, slow response to pressure. This mattress type adheres to body contours and comes in various densities.

Sleep comfortably on  EGO Black Mattress with Graphene Technology upgrade, which features two special foams, infused with copper and gel, zoned to conform to the body, while Graphene Technology subtly enhances breathability and promotes heat dissipation.

2. Enhance Comfort with a Mattress Topper

Mattress toppers add comfort through extra cushioning and can relieve your body’s pressure points. They are especially useful in making a firm mattress softer.

Memory Foam Toppers: Ideal for relieving pressure points and offering contouring comfort.

Gel-Infused Toppers: These provide cooling effects, perfect for those who sleep hot.

3. Upgrade to an Adjustable Bed Frame

Adjustable frames allow personalized comfort, especially beneficial for individuals with specific health concerns, the elderly, or those recovering from medical procedures.

Adjustable bed frames come with a motorized mechanism you can control with a remote to adjust the position and angle of the bed. You can adjust sensitive areas that support the head, feet, and back.

Adjustable bed frames can accommodate most types of mattresses aside from older innerspring mattresses.

4. Pillows: The Unsung Heroes of Comfort

Utilize pillows strategically for added support based on your sleeping position:

Back Sleepers: Place pillows behind the knees and under the arms for better spinal alignment.

Side Sleepers: Between the knees and under the arm to ease lower back pressure.

Stomach Sleepers: A low loft pillow under the stomach helps maintain spinal alignment.

Combination Sleepers: Consider a body pillow for versatile support.
