Method of choosing beds

When it comes to health care, many people can make it very clear, but do you know that the bed that accompanies you every night is the most important thing that affects your health? Soft bed or hard bed, Simmons or plank, which is a healthy choice? Even the placement of beds has an impact on health. Let's learn how to choose the most suitable bed!

Bed, physical safety. In ancient times, it was also called "couch", which was often short and hard for people to sit and lie down. Now it is only used for sleeping. It is both soft and hard, soft and comfortable, and has various functions. With such "advanced" sleeping equipment, it stands to reason that villagers should enjoy the pleasure of "sleeping" every night, so how can they complain? However, it is precisely because of the softness and hardness of the bedding that the villagers have their own rhetoric! Is it better to sleep in a hard bed or a soft bed?

How to choose a bed

How about sleeping on a hard bed? Relieve fatigue

The ancients always said that "sleeping in a hard bed can relieve fatigue", because the bed is too "soft" to touch the skin, and the bed only touches the skin, which will not massage the bones and muscles, but will make people more tired, but the hard bed will not. Moreover, the hard bed can also prevent the spine from bending and help to correct the "irregularity" of the spine caused by the daytime, so there are many "curative effects" besides health preservation. For example, sleeping on the hard bed for teenagers can prevent hunchback, low back pain and flexion and extension difficulties, and can relieve pain and so on.

In addition, sleeping on the hard bed often can also enhance the skin function, improve the functions of organs such as liver, kidney, stomach and intestine by stimulating the skin, and prevent and treat visceral diseases such as constipation, intestinal cancer and cerebral hemorrhage, which has many benefits. No wonder the ancient people slept in hard beds as well as hard pillows. Now hospitals are also hard beds. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to declare the "health" of the hard bed.

However, Thomas Laaser, a German professor, does not agree with this. He thinks that the hard bed can not meet the needs of human body curves, but will cause serious burden and various injuries to muscles and spine.

How about sleeping in a soft bed? comfortable

Soft bed, soft and comfortable, more full and intimate contact with the skin, and stronger sense of security during sleep. For grapefruit, a sister paper with sensitive skin and body, the softness of the soft bed and the design that perfectly fits the physiological curve of the human body can better meet the needs of grapefruit.

But the soft bed is too soft, because no matter which posture is taken, the middle part of the body will sink and the trunk will form an arc, which will overload the ligaments around the spine and increase the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, which will cause low back pain for a long time; Especially for patients with osteoarthropathy such as lumbar disc herniation and proliferative spondylitis, sleeping in a soft bed for a long time will aggravate the symptoms. In addition, sleeping in a soft bed often makes the muscles trapped in the mattress unable to relax, and the internal organs of the chest and abdomen are easily oppressed and can not get enough rest.

Too hard or too soft is not good for health.

The choice of bed and sleeping equipment is best from the perspective of health care, considering whether it conforms to the physiological characteristics of the human body and whether it is conducive to sleep. So, what kind of bed is best for sleeping?

In fact, the ideal bed is neither too soft nor too hard, and the hardness should be moderate. A cotton pad with a thickness of about 10 cm on the wooden bed has the best softness and hardness. Such a thick cotton pad can meet the needs of human body surface curve, maintain the integrity and normal physiological curvature of the spine, and is beneficial to sleep and health.

In addition, in addition to the hardness of the bed, we should also pay attention to its height. The height of the bed is generally about 40~50 cm, that is, it is better to be slightly higher than the knee of the sleeper. In this way; You don't need to get up hard. You can stretch your legs and wear shoes when you get out of bed.

The bed should be wider. Generally speaking, its length is 20~30 cm longer than that of the sleeper, and its width is 30~40 cm wider than that of the sleeper, so that it can stretch when sleeping, which is beneficial to blood circulation and fatigue elimination.

The result of entanglement:

To sum up, the best healthy bed should meet the following requirements: First, it must conform to the shape of the body. Second, the pressure on the contact surface between the bed and the body must be dispersed to achieve an average. Third, the supporting force of the contact surface between the bed and the body must be balanced, and the gap should not be too big.

What kind of bed is best for your health?

We know that there are all kinds of beds. Some people like softer beds, while others like harder beds. Which is better, a soft bed or a hard bed? Let's make an analysis and comparison of various beds first.

Simmons bed is too soft.

This kind of bed is breathable, but most of it is thick and soft. From the perspective of prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis, the bed should not be too soft. Too soft a bed will cause a state of low in the middle and high in the outside because of the weight compression of the human body. This will increase the tension of the muscles lying on the back, and will inevitably lead to a relative increase in the posture of the head and neck. Just like a high pillow, it will lead to local muscle ligament imbalance and directly affect the physiological curve of the cervical spine itself. After a long time, it will accelerate the degeneration of cervical spine and directly lead to the occurrence of cervical spondylosis.

The wooden bed is too hard.

Is this kind of hard bed good? Wooden bed can keep the balance of the spine, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. It should be regarded as a good bed. But everyone who sleeps on a hard bed knows that the bed is too hard to sleep and the air permeability is not good, so the bed should not be too hard.

Brown stretcher is not durable.

This kind of bed is a good choice in terms of breathability and softness. But when the bed is used for a long time, the elasticity will gradually weaken and become a soft bed. Therefore, this bed is not suitable for long-term use.

The wire spring bed is the worst.

The characteristics of this kind of bed are similar to those of brown stretch bed and soft bed. It may be comfortable to sleep at first, but it will be uncomfortable after a long time. It is not suitable for patients with spinal diseases such as cervical spondylosis.

Ideality kang

People in rural areas in the north often sleep on fire kang, which can keep warm in winter and cool down in summer. This is an ideal place to sleep. But lying directly on the kang is also very hard, so people put blankets and mattresses on it and then sleep comfortably. This is the best "advanced bed" for patients with cervical spondylosis to sleep.

But there are no such "advanced beds" in many places. What should we do? The most ideal and economical way is to spread a mattress with suitable thickness and hardness or a thinner Simmons mattress on the wooden bed. What is the best degree of hardness? It is best to put your palm under your waist when lying on your back.

Some people may think that choosing a bed is a bit like choosing shoes. Only they know whether it is suitable or not. In fact, the two are different, because a comfortable bed is not necessarily good for your health. On the one hand, you should be comfortable. On the other hand, you should be healthy. You should have your cake and eat it.

Don't put the bed by the window.

On the one hand, sleeping by the window will be affected by light. On the other hand, because the window is ventilated, if the main passage is not closed properly when sleeping, or the window is not closed properly, it will cause a stroke or a cold. Third, there is often a lot of noise near the window, which affects sleep. In addition, in families with children, children are easy to climb the window when playing in bed, causing falls. At the same time, pay attention to the position of the bed, it is best not to face the bedroom door, which will also make the bedroom lack of peace and affect sleep.

It is best to stick the head of a double bed on the wall, which is convenient for bunk bed.

In order to avoid accidentally touching the wall when sleeping, the sides of the bed are generally not against the wall when waking up cold. If you are afraid that the children at home will roll off the bed, or a single bed, or for other reasons, you have to stick the side of the bed on the wall. When decorating, it is best to make some soft bags on the wall or put cushions and sheets around the wall.

Don't lean against the bathroom on either side of the bed.

"Now many bedrooms are equipped with bathrooms, so be careful not to stick them on the wall on the side of the bathroom when putting the bed." Guangsheng Song said that the walls are easy to breed bacteria and molds, and the noise of the bathroom pipes is easy to affect sleep and is harmful to health.

Don't put a mirror across the bed.

So as not to get up at night and suddenly see the hazy figure in the mirror and get scared.

Don't put glassware and desk lamp stereo beside the bed.

Large pieces of glass furniture are placed beside the bed, and you may get scratched if you get up at night carelessly. Noise and electromagnetic radiation produced by lamps, stereos and other electrical appliances may affect people's health.

Don't point the bed at the air conditioning outlet.

Many young people like to put the air conditioner on their heads when decorating, which is very bad for their health. Blowing air conditioner directly can lead to stroke, hemiplegia and even facial nerve disorder.

Don't put sundries under the bed.

Under the bed is often a dark place that is not very breathable. Putting sundries on it is easy to get damp, mildew or breed bacteria. In addition, it is also difficult to clean up at ordinary times, resulting in a sanitary corner. In today's increasingly small space, a bed with a bed drawer has become the best choice for many families. Experts remind that bed drawers are often dark and airtight, and the luggage and bedding placed inside are prone to moisture, mildew and germs, which should not be stored for a long time. Pay attention to formaldehyde pollution when taking things from the bed drawer, especially the newly bought bed with artificial board. In particular, blankets and bedding placed in bed drawers must be washed and dried before use to prevent formaldehyde adsorbed on them from endangering health. In addition, bungalows and the first floor are close to the ground, which makes them more susceptible to moisture. It is not recommended to put sundries in bed drawers.
