In foreign countries, we seldom see hard bed boards, almost all are soft beds, so we can not help but be a little curious about why foreigners like soft beds so much. In fact, sleeping on a soft bed is still very good for people's spine and other aspects.

One, you can have a better quality of sleep

Compared with a hard bed, people lying in a soft bed, the muscles of the whole body will show a state of relaxation, the body relaxation, over time, the human spirit will slowly relax, so that the human sleep is still very good, at least, the person's quality of sleep will have a significant improvement.

Second, help the development of the human spine

Study of ergonomics must be clear to everyone, the Western soft cushion is based on this principle to design, the human spine into the S-shaped, Western cushion design in the can be more perfect support for everyone's S-shaped. But in China, advocating a hard bed, because people lie in too soft bed, will make the spine into a curved shape, that is, we often say C-shaped, long-term, it will affect the development of the spine, is not suitable for spinal curve shaping, so in order to the development of people's bodies, or advocate sleeping in a hard bed. In fact, the Chinese people sleep hard bed is not really hard to lie directly on it, but also in the top is a layer of mattress.
