Simple rules

• The height of the bed should be 7-9 cm above the level of a person’s knees.
• The length of the bed should be 10 cm longer than the height of a person.
• The width of the bed should be sufficient so that a person can easily turn in a dream.
• Sleep on his side. If you are used to sleeping on your side, you need to keep your spine straight. Therefore, a softer mattress is suitable, which will bend in the shoulders and hips and provide the necessary support to the rest of the body. Use a higher pillow to reduce tension in the neck.
• Sleep on the back. In this position, support must be provided in the neck and base of the spine. For this, a medium-hard mattress is suitable.
• Sleep on my stomach. This position requires special support in the neck and base of the spine. We recommend choosing the most rigid mattresses. A small pillow will allow you to avoid excess tension in the neck.
