You can cut an MDF board to size to place on top of your bed base.<\/p>\n\n<p>here is the link to an English brand we recommend: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latexsense.co.uk\/luxury-dunlop-latex-topper\/p401\">latex sense<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Other latex topper options: <a href=\"https:\/\/una-organic.com\/product\/latex-topper-organic\">Una mattress<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiendasensuenos.com\/product\/toppers\/topper-serie-3-impulse-latex-7-cm\/\">Ensuenos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>The futon, Japanese quality<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Japanese futons provide firm and even support that gives adequate support to the spine, reducing back pain. Unlike conventional mattresses, which can sag over time, a futon maintains its shape and offers a stable surface. Its firmness also improves blood circulation by preventing pressure points. Additionally, they are lightweight, easy to store, and made of natural materials, promoting a healthy sleeping environment.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some models I recommend: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haiku-futon.com\/muebles\/futon-y-futones-con-latex\/\">Haiku futon<\/a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/futon.es\/productos\/naturalatex-classic-concha\/\">futon station<\/a><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>An orthopedic mattress, an economical option<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>They can be a good option depending on the model.

Memory foam allows the body to sink into it without adequate support pushing it up. The result is that your body will be forced to adopt <strong>a contorted and twisted position<\/strong> that will not only make it tense and uncomfortable, but also <strong>worsen its underlying mechanical condition<\/strong> over time.<\/p>\n\n<p>When you get used to sleeping on a firm, supportive mattress and go to a hotel with a memory foam or soft mattress, you realize how important it is.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_you_think_your_mattress_is_not_good\"><\/span><strong>What to do if you think your mattress is not good<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The most important thing you can do, especially if you are undergoing ABC corrective treatment, is to start planning to change it, the sooner the better.<\/p>\n\n<p>Some memory foam mattresses only have memory foam as a top layer, which means you can <strong>turn your mattress over<\/strong> and have a firmer, more supportive underside that will help you in the short term until you find a better solution.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>You can also sleep on the floor.<\/strong> Use a <strong>yoga mat<\/strong> or two, get the latex topper mentioned above or simply put <strong>a couple of layers of duvet<\/strong> underneath you. It will do much better for you and you can start making plans to save for one of the better options above.<\/p>\n\n<p>If your mattress is sagging in any way, get rid of it! <strong>Mattresses are not made to last forever.<\/strong> Latex ones last the longest, but start to wear out between 20 and 30 years.
