Do you suffer from back, neck or shoulder pain on waking? Your mattress could be damaging your health as well as your sleep pattern if it does not protect the natural alignment of your spine. Natural Home Products’ extensive range of organic and natural mattresses are all designed to protect the health of your muscles, joints and spine while you are at rest, ensuring not just a fully restorative sleep, but also the ongoing health and suppleness of your back, neck and shoulders.

We have been helping people create the healthiest and most natural bedroom environment possible for many years. Our manufacturing partners have over 2 decades’ experience in the design and production of all sorts of mattresses that have the support of the spine, neck and shoulder at their core. Over the years, the range has extended to cater for a multitude of needs. For those who sleep on their side a latex mattress may be best: its soft and yielding surface allows the shoulders and hips to sink into complete support and comfort. For those who prefer to sleep on their back or front and those with larger frames, the combination latex and coconut coir mattresses may be preferable given their firm and springy surfaces.

However you prefer to sleep, keeping the line of your spine, from your shoulders and neck through to the small of your back, in natural alignment throughout the night is vital for health and wellbeing. The recent ‘Sleep Well, Live Well’ campaign found that 20% of people in the UK sleep less than the recommended 7 hours a night and a surprisingly high 41% regularly suffer from sleep problems. While emotional and physiological factors may also be the cause of sleep problems, the quality of your mattress (and not forgetting your pillows and bed bases) is of utmost importance when it comes to good posture, orthopaedic health and a restful night’s sleep.

Even if you don’t feel discomfort from your mattress, if it gives poor support it could be the reason you have disrupted sleep. Natural mattresses, natural latex mattresses and coconut coir mattresses are best for your spine, your health and your sleep pattern. They come in a range of different surfaces, some more yielding than others, to suit people who like hard or soft beds and those who sleep on their front, back or side. There is a proven link between the neck, shoulder and back problems of some side sleepers, for instance, and mattresses that have hard surfaces.

Take a look at our full range of natural and organic mattresses (as well as natural wood beds, organic pillows and more) and find the best support for you – the long-term health of your spine may just depend on it.
