Latex Mattress Edge Support

The edge support of a latex mattress is an important factor to consider when purchasing. Edge support refers to the level of rigidity or firmness the mattress has around the edges. Good edge support provides many benefits, such as increased comfort and support for your body, improved weight distribution across the surface of the mattress, and more effective motion isolation when sleeping.

According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Ergonomics, good edge support is essential in reducing the occurrence of lower back pain. The same study also found that a mattress with poor edge support resulted in a higher rate of lower back pain due to incorrect body positioning.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult to fix a mattress with poor edge support. In most cases, it's better to simply replace it with a mattress that has better edge support. This is why it's important to do research to make sure the mattress you're buying has good edge support. Look for features such as high-density foam or individually wrapped coils, which both provide great edge support.
