Ergonomic mattresses

What is the best material for my back?

The material your mattress consists of is ultimately less relevant. The most important thing is that it feels comfortable and that you take into account the following four key factors when choosing a mattress:

• Sleep position: do you sleep on your stomach, side or back?
• Comfort: do you prefer a soft, medium firm or firm feel?
• Pressure-point relief: are some areas of your body extra sensitive (e.g. your shoulders)?
• Temperature: do you easily sweat or feel cold?

We often compare our quality mattresses at De Nachtwacht with top brands of shoes:

• High-quality materials: Bonnell springs, pocket springs, latex, memory foam, Geltex…
• Well-ventilating
• Long lifespan
• Suitable for most people

Some people need shoes with orthotics, either because they have specific problems or preventively because they put a heavy strain on their bodies. A full day at a desk, for example, puts a lot of strain on the back...

Well, this comparison applies perfectly to the Equilli brand: people with back and neck problems want a mattress tailored to their body and sleep position.

Ergonomic mattress by Equilli

The Equilli mattress was developed at the Biomechanics department of KU Leuven in collaboration with experts from the Gasthuisberg back centre and the Antwerp Sleep Clinic.

The mattress is made up of various modules, which are chosen in such a way that your spine is perfectly supported in specific areas, and it gets the softness it needs in others. This allows your muscles and intervertebral discs to recover optimally.
