Unfortunately, back pain is omnipresent and commonplace in our society. We sit too much and too long and move too little. Even at night, our bodies and backs hardly get any rest because many of us sleep badly and for far too short a time. All of these are the main causes of back pain. Provided the back pain is not caused by a chronic illness, there are simple ways to get rid of back pain quickly and effectively.
What helps with back pain – keep on moving
The human body is not designed to sit at a desk all day. In purely evolutionary terms, we are long-distance runners. However, this is not compatible with most professions and lifestyles. However, even small units of exercise during the day can have a positive effect on our back and the entire body. So take advantage of even small opportunities to get moving: whether it’s a short trip to a colleague’s office instead of a phone call or an email, or a walk to the nearest supermarket for a little shopping. If you want to do your back even more good, you should build up strong back muscles by doing exercises in the gym or at home.
The right posture
Pay attention to your posture and body tension in everyday life and avoid the combination of heavy loads and incorrect posture. When lifting a crate of drinks, for example, you should bend at the knees instead of bending forwards. This avoids incorrect posture, which can aggravate back pain.
Combat back pain with restful sleep
Your intervertebral discs can only recover from the strain of the day while you sleep. To do this, the spine must be properly supported and relieved when lying down. You should therefore pay particular attention to the supportive properties of your mattress and choose a firmness level that matches your weight and height.
The right mattress works wonders for back pain
There are several types of mattress that can be used to prevent back pain or tension: The Natural Vita Talalay® latex mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of your body thanks to its highly elastic core made from 100% organic natural latex, providing optimum support.
For those who prefer to do without latex, we recommend a pocket spring mattress, for example. Thanks to its special and elaborate construction, a barrel pocket spring core mattress always ensures excellent pressure elasticity and support as well as a springy and soft lying comfort.
A memory foam mattress is also recommended for a painful and tense back. The elastic high-tech foam has a particularly pressure-relieving effect and adapts perfectly to the body.
A cold foam mattress also offers excellent support and a high level of comfort, but unlike the other mattress types, it is more suitable for lighter people.
Don’t forget: The right pillow for back pain
The right pillow provides additional relief for your strained neck and thus further contributes to a healthy back. The right neck support pillow is usually the pillow of choice here. Whether latex, soft latex, memory foam or cold foam, no matter which pillow core you prefer, you are sure to find it in our extensive billerbeck range of neck support pillows.
We will be happy to advise you in your search for the ideal mattress and matching pillow so that back pain and tension no longer stand a chance. Because: A GOOD DAY BEGINS AT NIGHT.
