Abstract
Mattress has been developed to improve sleep quality and reduce pain in order to bring a healthy physical and mental balance to the individual. The purpose of this study was to examine the comparison of pain, muscle tension, quality of life, satisfaction, and comfort between innovative latex mattress for back pain patients, healthy, older and latex mattress that is common sold on the market (Commercial latex mattress). One hundred twenty-four participants aged 20-80 years old were recruited into the current study. Participants were randomized to sleep on an innovative and commercial latex mattress for 30 minutes with a blinded assessor. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain, muscle tension, quality of life, satisfaction, and comfort immediately after the sleep test was conducted. Results showed that pain after sleep reduced significantly (p>0.05) and clinically (pain reduction > 2, total pain score = 10) after sleep on the innovative mattress when compared with that of another commercial mattress. Muscle tension, quality of overall sleep. in supine, side and prone lying after the test on the innovative mattress was significantly higher (p<0.05) than commercial mattress. In the healthy group, tension, quality of sleep in overall, supine, side and prone lying after the test on the innovative mattress was significantly higher than the commercial mattress(p<0.05). In the older group, the reduction of muscular tension, quality of sleep. in side lying after the test on the innovative mattress was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the commercial mattress. We would recommend that the user consider the latex mattress with proper design and firmness to help improve their quality of sleep. © 2021 ACM.
