Many people say that sleeping on a hard bed is good for your health, but what is the scientific basi

Sleeping on a hard bed for a long time may have adverse effects on the body. While sleeping on a rigid bed is thought to help support the spine and correct posture, a mattress that is too hard may have some negative effects on the body, including:

Aggravate physical stress: Sleeping on a rigid bed can increase pressure on local areas such as the head, back, hips and heels, while a rigid bed that lacks elasticity cannot distribute the weight of the whole body, making the spine stiff and easy to increase the pressure on muscles and bones.

Increased risk of lumbar spondylosis: Sleeping on a hard bed may make the lower back muscles too tense and lack adequate support, which can increase the risk of lumbar spondylosis.

Affect sleep quality: Hard beds can cause physical discomfort and make it difficult for people to fall asleep, which in turn reduces sleep quality and affects physical health.

Therefore, if you have been sleeping on a hard bed for a long time and are experiencing symptoms such as muscle aches, joint pain, etc., it is advisable to try a mattress that is more suitable for you, such as a mattress that is appropriately soft [1][2]. Of course, the comfort of the mattress also varies from person to person, and you can choose the right way to sleep according to your actual situation.

Joint stiffness: A stiff bed board can stiffen your sleeping position and make your sleep uncomfortable, which in the long run will cause your joints to become less flexible.
