Back Pain

Making your bed so comfortable that you can't wait to get in it is a great place to start, but there are many more things you can do to get a better night’s sleep. Having good sleep is crucial, as it improves your brain performance, mood and health. A lack of sleep quality can lead to further health issues, such as dementia and obesity.

Back pain is perhaps one of the most frustrating issues our bodies face as adults, not least because of the discomfort it brings. Lost income, missed activities, and a negative impact on our mental health are just some of the side effects of even relatively minor back pain, let alone chronic and severe back pain. 

Your caravan holidays and lifestyle might be fun and give you the freedom to see more places and meet more people. However, you might be missing something.

Back Pain Keeping You Up at Night? Your Mattress Could Be the Answer

Night back pain keeping you awake? You’re not alone. Back pain is a common condition. In the UK it affects 7 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. If you’re trying to get 8 hours or more of shut-eye each night, this can seem like an impossible feat if your back is giving you grief.

If back pain is worse at night, your mattress could be exacerbating the issue. Upgrading your mattress could be the answer. An old mattress that is too firm or soft isn’t a good ally for your back. If your muscles aren’t supported in the right way, they will become tense and work overtime, which can result in back and neck ache.
