How to protect children's spinal health during sleep?

The human spine is composed of vertebrae, which can be stretched and bent. As babies learn to look up, sit up straight and walk, the vertical spine has four physiological radians: cervical kyphosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar kyphosis and sacral kyphosis. With the increase of age, these bends are gradually and steadily formed. The younger the child, the less mature the spine and the greater the plasticity. Therefore, children should not sleep on mattresses that are too hard or too soft. During daytime study, labor, exercise and other activities, children are generally in an upright position. At this time, due to the gravity of the head and body, as well as the traction of the muscles and ligaments in the back, the spine maintains a physiological bending state. To correct the imbalance caused by a day's social life, the best opportunity is to sleep at night-this is the best time to recuperate and correct the spine. When sleeping, the child lies on the mattress with suitable hardness, and the human spine bends from the side, which is called "physiological curvature" or "physiological curvature" in medicine. When a person lies on his back on a horizontal plane, the spine of his back and waist just strongly supports his body. However, when he lies on an excessively soft bed for a long time, his own weight will change or disappear the "physiological curvature" of his spine. That is, the spine straightens (viewed from the side), resulting in discomfort or pain. Because the child's spine is very flexible and easy to shape. Therefore, children, especially those who are developing, adolescent and overweight, should choose an Anyikas children's mattress that can effectively support the development of his S-shaped spine in order to better maintain the physiological curvature of the spine. A bed that is too soft can't fix its center of gravity when sleeping, and it will make you feel more tired because you keep turning over. Moreover, the bedding is too soft, the whole body weight is pressed on the bed, the body sinks seriously, and the spine is excessively bent. In this way, when sleeping on one side, the spine bends to one side, which will form scoliosis after a long time; When lying on your back, the curvature of the posterior spine did not disappear, and muscle fatigue could not be eliminated. On the contrary, traction is more tense and uneven, and the spine itself cannot be restored. Therefore, in order to prevent children's spinal deformation and eliminate muscle and ligament fatigue caused by daytime activities, children should not be allowed to sleep on mattresses that are too hard or too soft.
