Back Pain? A Medicated Mattress Will Help

Back pain is the leading cause of several days of missed work and even a curtailing of many of life’s joys. Every year, scores of people visit orthopaedic doctors to get relief from their back pain. However, you can get rid of it with one simple step: get a medicated mattress.

Why does your back hurt?

Most types of back pain can be traced to inadequate spinal or lumbar support.

• The spine supports not just the back but also the rest of the body. It is at work not just when you are out and about, but even when you sleep. It has a natural curvature that must be maintained constantly.
• If the spine is forced to curve or is not supported properly when you sit or sleep, it becomes misaligned and causes tension in the surrounding muscles and joints.
• Soon, you develop a back pain that is initially low in intensity. Over time, it builds so much that you are left with a constantly aching back that forces you to take leave from work, or modify your furniture or even make significant changes to your lifestyle.

These future problems can be safely averted by investing in a good medicated mattress. Every year, more and more people in Dubai are buying medicated mattresses from leading mattress stores online. These offer several health benefits, chief among which is deep and good quality sleep.

How does a medicated mattress work?

• Medicated mattresses are specially structured to provide lumbar support, as well as cushion the major joints of the body (hips, shoulders, knees, ankles). They are often memory foam mattresses with an additional inner reinforcement.
• The mattress does not sink or sag under the user’s weight. In fact, the mattress top springs back to its original form after you leave the bed. Thus, it maintains structural integrity for several years and need not be replaced often. This makes it a cost-effective solution to your back pain troubles.
• Your spine and major joints remain adequately supported when you sleep on this mattress. It conforms to the contours of your body to provide a superior feeling of comfort. Thus, you may go to bed feeling achy and tired, and wake up without the body pain.
• When your body is properly supported and cushioned, it relaxes with the muscles and tendons going into repose. This ensures a night of comfortable sleep that helps your body and mind heal over a period of seven to eight hours.
• Deep sleep is conducive to healing not just body pain, but also relaxing the mind. You will find greater periods of increased mental acuity, faster cognitive impulses and responses, better decision making and lower amounts of stress when you sleep well for about seven to eight hours a night.
• Good sleep also improves skin and hair health. The skin becomes clearer with a better ability to absorb nutrition and topical beauty products like creams. The hair also becomes lustrous and stronger over time.

Here’s how you get on the path of wellness – with good sleep

It is now established that sleeping well and deeply are important for overall body and mental health. For this, it is important to invest in a high quality medicated mattress that can ensure that you get the sleep you need and deserve.

• Measure your bed and ascertain the exact size of the mattress. It could be a standard or a custom size. Knowing the exact dimensions is key.
• Research the best medicated mattresses in Dubai and the online stores that retail them. Find out make, material, dimensions, benefits, manufacturer’s guarantee and delivery protocols.
• Compare like mattresses across brands before making your final selection. If necessary, ask your doctor about the best ones amongst your preferred brands, or for their personal recommendation.

Pay for the medicated mattress online and get details on when the mattress will be delivered. Some stores have strict COVID-19 protocols in place – in this case, the mattress will be vacuum sealed and delivered to you, while you must unbox it yourself. If not, then the delivery team will install the mattress in your bed and sanitise it before leaving.
