Goldilocks and the Three Beds

Goldilocks had the right idea when she chose the bed that wasn’t “Too Soft” or “Too Hard” but was “Just Right”.

The right bed for you isn’t the stuff of fairy tales. By following these guidelines, you too can get a great night’s sleep whilst caring for your spine.

  • ·         Your mattress should be firm but comfortable to lie on for 8 hours. It still needs to be soft enough for the heavier or wider parts of your body to sink into the mattress, maintaining the spine’s 3 natural curves.


  • ·         Ensure you and your partner are not rolling towards the middle of the mattress when you’re lying down.


  • ·         A mattress that can be rotated rather than turned over allows even distribution of wear on the mattress and also reduces the risk of you hurting your back whilst turning the mattress over.


  • ·         The bed height is important too. Make sure it is at a comfortable height to minimise strain on your back when changing the bedding.


  • ·         Whilst in the bedding store, take your time and spend 10 minutes laying on the bed with your partner to get a good idea of how suitable the bed is for you.


When was the last time you shopped for a new bed? Is it time for you to make like Goldilocks and try to find one that’s “Just Right?”


We recommend Back To Sleep Mattress and Pillow Specialists http://www.backtosleep.com.au. Because they have chiropractors conducting bed assessments (rather than a salesperson) you can get sure of getting the best advice for your mattress and ensuring a better night’s sleep.
