In the early stage of suffering from lumbar spondylosis, 80% of people can be treated and relieved early. Bed rest is often a way to relieve low back pain, so what do you need to pay attention to? How to choose the mattress for low back pain patients?
 
1.The benefits of bed rest
The purpose of bed rest is to relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs and reduce pain. It is best to lie on your back, when the pressure on the lumbar spine is the least.

Studies have shown that in different postures, the pressure on the human lumbar spine is relatively large: lying < standing < sitting < forward bending. During low back pain, strenuous exercise will aggravate the condition.

The length of bed rest depends on the level of pain. Severe absolute bed rest for 3 to 5 days, and general daily rest for 2 to 4 weeks. For the elderly, long-term bed rest will increase the risk of muscle atrophy, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, so absolute bed rest should not exceed 7 days.

2.A good mattress can maintain the physiological curvature of the spine
When lying on the bed, the head, shoulders, waist, buttocks and feet of the human body are the parts that support the weight of the human body. Sleeping on a bed that is too soft will cause your body to sag, and sleeping on a bed that is too hard is not conducive to the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine.

Compared with sponge mattresses and hard bed boards, it is recommended to choose medium-hard spring mattresses for mattresses. Spring mattresses can reduce your pain.
