Shoulder pain and numbness in the arms
If too much pressure is applied to the shoulder while sleeping on one's side, it can lead to an ergonomic imbalance and compression of nerves and blood vessels. Numbness in the hand and tingling in the fingers are common symptoms that can result from either a too firm mattress, too low a pillow, or a combination of both.
Stiff neck
Regardless of sleeping position, the spine should be in as natural a position as possible. The right pillow, its material, and height are important factors. If you sleep on your back, make sure the pillow is not too high, which can cause excessive stretching of the neck.
Snoring
The first step in reducing snoring is sleeping on your side with the support of the right mattress and pillow. This can also reduce nightly breathing interruptions, often associated with sleep apnea syndrome and may be position-dependent.
Back pain
Choose a mattress with the assistance of an expert, as a mattress that is too firm or too soft can lead to an ergonomically incorrect position and cause back pain.
Interrupted sleep
Continuous changes in position during the night can lead to interrupted sleep. An uncomfortable and ergonomically incorrect position may result from the sleeping surface. A individually selected mattress and pillow, distributing pressure correctly, can help the body maintain an ergonomic position throughout the night.
