Back pain after sleeping

There are several reasons why you might wake up with back pain. The main reason is related to an incorrect sleeping position. Do you sleep on your side? Then it is important that the spine is in a straight line. A pillow that is too thick can cause your head to be in an unnatural position all night long. Therefore, make sure to have a good pillow, where your neck and back are in a straight line. Back pain after sleeping can also be prevented by insufficient movement during the day. Alternate prolonged sitting with a walk, yoga, or another activity. This keeps your muscles and joints flexible, reducing your back complaints.

Also the matras Where you sleep can play a significant role in the cause of back pain. If you suffer from back pain, a pocket spring mattress can be the solution. This mattress consists of springs that move with the body, providing the right support throughout the night. The pocket spring mattress from Van der Valk consists of 7 zones: hip zone, back zone, shoulder comfort zones on both sides, and head zones on both sides. This means that the mattress can be flipped and rotated, allowing it to be slept on from all sides. The Van der Valk mattress is the mattress for a comfortable night's sleep!

Neck pain after sleeping

Your neck also endures quite a bit during your sleep. Moving and rolling over or staying in the same position for too long can cause you to wake up with a stiff neck. But the hoofdkussen also plays a very large role in the quality of sleep. A pillow that is too high or too low causes incorrect pressure on the intervertebral discs. This leads to muscle cramps, causing you to wake up with a stiff neck.

Stomach sleepers generally have a higher chance of neck complaints than back or side sleepers. When you sleep on your stomach, it is almost impossible to support the neck correctly. Your head is then turned away from the rest of the body, causing the spine to be in an unnatural position all night long. Therefore, try to sleep as much as possible on your back or side. The hoofdkussens from Van der Valk provide excellent support and comfort for side and back sleepers during the night.
