This makes the person develop pain, mostly in lower back, hip joints, and neck areas of the body. A good quality mattress offers an even surface with right hardness for the person to get a good sleep, without having any body posture distortion that can result into constant body ache to that person and may be to a permanent disfigurement.

• It is important to maintain the right temperature for the user: The person who sleeps on the mattress must be comfortable with the right temperature while sleeping. It should neither be too hot or too cold. Maintaining the right temperature makes the person have a sound sleep throughout the night. This is possible only in mattresses which are having breathable material fillings inside the mattresses. So, mattresses without breathable material must be discarded.

• The mattress you use must be comfortable to you: Different persons need mattresses of different firmness of surfaces, as their sleeping habits are different. Some sleep-in sideways position who require soft surface mattresses. Some sleep on their back requiring hard surface mattresses. For people suffering from back pain find relief sleeping on mattresses with hard surfaces, as this hard surface provides them right support. Every individual has a different body that requires a particular quality of mattress to sleep on.
