Is it good for children to sleep on a soft mattress?

Nowadays, people have many kinds of beds, including water beds filled with water, sleeping bags, soft mattresses or earthen beds, etc. Many parents will prepare soft mattresses for their children to sleep on, but there is a saying that it is not good for children to sleep on soft mattresses, because children are in the growth period, sleeping on a soft bed will affect their bone development, so is this true? The following will introduce in detail whether it is good for children to sleep on a soft mattress.

It is not good for children to sleep on a soft bed for a long time, because it may cause lumbar muscle strain and other waist and leg pains. Especially for teenagers, who are in the growth and development period, their bones are not yet fully developed and are easily deformed.

In addition, sleeping on a soft bed for a long time, whether lying on your back or on your side, can cause abnormal curvature of the spine. In mild cases, it will cause changes in normal physiological curves and loss of natural and healthy body shape. In severe cases, it may also cause deformities such as hemiplegia and hunchback, and even affect the development of internal organs.

Therefore, underage children should try not to sleep on a soft bed for the sake of comfort. It is better to sleep on a wooden bed.

When people sleep on a hard bed, about 1/6 of the 100 major acupuncture points on the body will be squeezed, which will unconsciously regulate the person's microcirculation function, thereby playing a medical role and effectively relieving physical fatigue. This way, when you wake up, you will feel full of energy.

In addition, sleeping on a hard bed regularly can prevent the aging of tendons and ligaments in the spine, cervical vertebrae, shoulder periphery, hip joints, etc., and it has a positive rehabilitation effect on people with hunchbacks.

However, nothing can be generalized, so whether to sleep on a soft bed or a hard bed depends on the individual. for example:

For people with vasculitis, varicose veins, and those who are too thin, it is better to sleep on a soft bed rather than a hard bed.

Because the muscles under their skin are weak and the capillaries are overly exposed to the skin surface, it is easy for the compressed areas to become congested or congested during sleep, and they may even feel soreness and numbness in their limbs after waking up.

Therefore, sleeping on a hard bed or a soft bed depends on the individual and should be selected reasonably.

Baby sleep precautions:

Baby bedtime preparation 1: suitable sleeping environment

A suitable sleeping environment is essential for the baby to fall asleep smoothly and sleep soundly and well. Young babies should start to go to bed early regularly. Generally, do not play with the baby after 8 o'clock in the evening and let the baby enter the sleeping environment early. Carefully turn down or turn off the TV and keep it quiet. You can play some light music or sing some lullabies to help your baby enter a relaxed sleep state.

Baby bedtime preparation 2: Distinguish between night and day

Babies have not yet formed a concept of when to go to bed and get up, and have no clear distinction between day and night. During this period, parents should intentionally use light and sound to promote the formation of the baby's biological clock, and let the baby learn to distinguish between day and night, awake and asleep through the contrast of light and darkness.
