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

Sleep is something that children pay special attention to, because they are in the period of physical development, and physical development takes place during sleep. Therefore, parents need to create a better sleeping environment for their children. Some parents will prepare spring mattresses for their children, but sleeping on such soft mattresses will have some adverse effects on the spine of adults. So is it good for children to sleep on spring mattresses?

The younger the child, the more immature the spinal column is and the greater its plasticity. Therefore, it is not suitable for children to sleep on a spring bed. During daytime study, work, exercise and other activities, children are generally in an upright position. At this time, due to the gravity of the head and body, and the traction of the back muscles and ligaments, the spine maintains a physiological curvature. To correct the imbalance caused by a day's social life, the best opportunity is to sleep at night - it is the best time for the spine to rest and correct.

When sleeping, children lie on a relatively hard bed, the physiological curvature can disappear, and the spine can return to its original shape. At the same time, it can also eliminate the fatigue of the back muscles and ligaments, and the spine is not prone to scoliosis when sleeping on the side. But the situation is different if children sleep on a spring bed. The characteristics of a spring bed are that it is soft and elastic. At first glance, it seems that it can eliminate fatigue. In fact, a bed that is too soft cannot fix the center of gravity during sleep, and the center of gravity changes due to constant tossing and turning, which makes you feel more tired.

Furthermore, the bedding is too soft, and the weight of the whole body is pressed on the bed, causing the body to sink severely and the spine to bend excessively. In this way, when sleeping on your side, the spine bends to one side, which will form scoliosis over time; when lying flat, the curvature of the spine on the back does not disappear, muscle fatigue cannot be eliminated, but instead the muscle is stretched more tense and unevenly, and the spine itself cannot return to its original state.

In addition, spring beds generally have poor moisture absorption, while the human skin surface discharges a certain amount of moisture every day. If overheated, people will sweat. In addition, children have a high metabolism, so they discharge more moisture. If moisture absorption is not good, you will feel damp and uncomfortable, which is not conducive to falling asleep and relieving fatigue. Therefore, in order to prevent children's spinal deformities and eliminate muscle and ligament fatigue caused by daytime activities, it is not advisable for children to sleep on spring beds.
