Pressure Points. . . .

Pressure Points are created in the body when lying on a mattress which is not suitable for a persons physique.

The Pressure Points are caused by putting stresses through the body. For instance, the images below show the pressure being applied to a surface when the body lies on it. When the spine is not aligned correctly (I,e, straight), it can cause pressure to build up in the back, hips or shoulders (etc).

When a bed is too soft, the body sinks in, causing certain areas to be under the strain of the rest of the body. When a mattress is too hard/firm, then the weight applied can cause the body to flex/bend in the opposite way - causing a similar problem. Hips, shoulders and so on, are requried to be sunken into the mattress slightly more than the surrounding areas, as they carry the weight. When this is not the case, the lower back may be bent to compensate.

The images below show the pressure points and the spine aligned correctly and incorrectly. The ideal mattress is one which will keep the spine straight.
