Can pregnant women sleep on a new mattress?

The sleeping condition of pregnant women is the most important thing to pay attention to, because after pregnancy, the fetus needs most quiet and comfortable conditions to promote growth and development. Among them, choosing a comfortable sleeping environment is the most important foundation for pregnant women. In order to sleep comfortably, you must have a good mattress. Therefore, many pregnant women like to buy new mattresses to sleep. But can pregnant women sleep on new mattresses? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

It is best not to sleep there. No matter how good the decorative materials and furniture are, the formaldehyde and benzene gases will exceed the standard. It is just a matter of amount. It will have an impact on pregnant women and children. Open the windows for ventilate for a while, and buy some activated carbon to absorb it for half a month before moving in. After adsorption, don't forget to dry it in the sun.

Pregnant women should be careful when sleeping on a new bed. It is best not to sleep on a new bed during your entire pregnancy.

Nowadays, furniture is generally painted, and paint contains a lot of harmful odors, especially formaldehyde. These odors will not dissipate for a long time. If pregnant women often absorb this odor, it may cause abnormal development of the fetus.

It is best to sleep on a harder bed during pregnancy, otherwise your waist and spine will easily hurt. If the crib is too soft, it is recommended to put a wooden board or a harder, less elastic mattress under the sheets. Don't sleep on a soft bed, sleep on a hard bed instead. A soft bed will affect the body and sleep quality of expectant mothers. First of all, it can easily lead to abnormal spinal position. The spine of expectant mothers has a greater forward curvature than that of normal people. Sleeping on a soft bed will have a serious impact on the lumbar spine. If this continues for a long time, the position of the spine will change, increasing the burden on the lumbar muscles, which is not conducive to the performance of physiological functions and may cause low back pain. A soft bed will cause expectant mothers to sink deeper into the bed, making it difficult to turn over and increasing their fatigue.

As the pregnancy progresses, the expectant mother will be more suitable for lying on the left side. However, a soft bed causes the expectant mother to always maintain the same posture when sleeping, which compresses the internal organs. Therefore, choose a bed that is easy to turn over and move around, preferably a hard bed. Wooden beds are too hard and lack cushioning, so it is best to put a cotton pad about 9 cm thick on it. In summer, expectant mothers can also sleep in a coir bed. The palm shed bed is breathable and conducive to heat dissipation, but a thin cotton pad should also be placed underneath.
