Did you know that every fifth Indian in the 20-30 age group suffers from some sort of spinal ailment?
While irregular habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress, pothole-ridden roads, and excessive sitting are the leading causes of back pain, the question remains: how do you take preventive care of your spine so that it remains young and supple as you age?
The doctors at Fortis Hospital highlight these SIX essential steps to maintain a healthy and happy spine:

A good mattress will help keep your spine in a natural, neutral position and can help distribute your weight evenly, preventing pressure points.
At Duroflex, our primary concern is ensuring you are supported whenever you use our products. This guide is meant to help you find the perfect mattress that will take care of you and your spine for years.
Mattress Buying Guide
We interviewed Vipul Kumar, the Head of Product Design at Duroflex, and asked him how we should go about finding our perfect mattress. After all, choosing a mattress isn’t just about soft vs. firm, it’s about our health, sleep posture, and even lifestyle, right?
Here’s what he had to say.
Step 1: Look To The Past
The first step is to determine why you want to change your current mattress. What do you like or dislike about it? Has it become old? Or are you moving? Or changing it for the sake of newness? This will help form a baseline for your requirements.
According to Kantar, on average, families in India replace their mattresses every ~5 years but your back needs support every single night.
Step 2: Map Pressure Points
Whatever your Body Mass Index (BMI) is, your physical structure will determine your pressure profile.
The human body is typically divided into five parts. But in actuality, there are hundreds of points which carry the load.
When you walk into a Duroflex store, we have a proprietary process called “Decode” that helps accurately determine your pressure points and provides a customized Pressure Map.
This process will ensure you get the correct thickness and support from your new mattress. For sleepers with a higher BMI, a mattress of about 8+ inches is recommended, while other sleepers can do with a 5 to 6-inch mattress.
Step 3: Lifestyle Factors
The next thing to consider is your lifestyle. Your mattress isn’t just about how you sleep; it’s also about how you live. The right choice often depends on your day-to-day habits and health considerations.
Chronic Pain: Do you wake up stiff or sore? Do you need an orthopaedic mattress or something with bounce?
Hot or Cold: If you often wake up sweaty, it’s not always the weather or your AC. Foam tends to trap body heat, while latex mattresses and spring mattresses allow better airflow. Duroflex’s natural latex, for instance, disperses heat naturally.
Shared Beds: If you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns (or if you do), mattresses with motion isolation work. If your partner wants a cool mattress while you need an orthopaedic one, at Duroflex, we can combine both.
Step 4: Sleeping Posture
Your posture at night is as important as your posture at your desk. The wrong mattress can gradually misalign your spine and cause pain.
Side Sleepers:
The ideal mattress here is medium-soft to medium with zoned support, allowing your shoulders and hips to sink slightly while keeping your spine in a straight line.
Back Sleepers:
They need a mattress that supports the natural “S-curve” of the spine. Medium-firm mattresses help distribute weight evenly.
Stomach Sleepers:
This posture puts the most stress on the back. Opt for a firmer mattress that keeps your hips elevated and reduces lower-back strain.
Step 5: Match Material to Need
Materials make or break your sleep experience. Each comes with its own strengths… knowing which one suits you best is half the battle won.
Foam Mattresses:
widely popular and versatile, foam allows for finetuned density and firmness, but it can trap heat.
Latex Mattresses: made from natural rubber, latex is cooler, more breathable, and highly durable.
Spring Mattresses: traditional yet modernized, spring mattresses are naturally ventilated and pocket spring mattresses also isolate partner disturbances.
Hybrid Mattresses: they combine the comfort of foam or latex with the bounce of springs.
Test your mattress. Lie down on it. Don’t just use your hand to test it. That’s the best way to ensure it is suitable for your requirements.
— Vipul Kumar (Duroflex)
Your mattress = Your Health
A mattress is not just furniture; it’s where you spend one-third of your life. So the next time you’re tempted to just “pick something comfy,” remember, the right mattress keeps your spine aligned, improves your mood, and even protects against long-term health issues.
At Duroflex, we prioritize both short and long term health benefits with stress-tested mattresses engineered for your spine. Our proprietary 5-zone orthopaedic support ensures that irrespective of the kind of sleeper you are, your spine remains supported. Is it any wonder then that our mattresses have won awards and are often recommended by doctors?
While the benefits of a good mattress are well-documented, the absence of one is even louder… it shows up as back pain, restless nights, and health issues that no amount of coffee can cover up.
So choose a good mattress today, not just for better sleep, but for a healthier tomorrow.
FAQs
How do I choose the right mattress for back pain?+
If you suffer from back pain, look for an orthopaedic mattress designed to support spinal alignment. Medium-firm mattresses are usually recommended, as they help distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points. Duroflex’s 5-zone orthopaedic mattresses, for example, are stress-tested and doctor-recommended, making them one of the best mattress options in India for back pain relief and long-term spine health.
What type of mattress is best for different sleeping positions?+
Side sleepers generally need a medium-soft to medium firmness mattress that allows shoulders and hips to sink while keeping the spine straight. Back sleepers benefit from medium-firm mattresses that support the spine’s natural “S-curve.” Stomach sleepers should choose a firmer mattress to prevent the hips from sinking too deeply. Matching mattress firmness to sleep posture ensures comfort and prevents long-term spinal strain.
Which mattress material is best: foam, latex, or spring?+
Each material has strengths. Foam mattresses are versatile and contour to the body, but can trap heat. Latex mattresses are cooler, highly durable, and eco-friendly, making them ideal for hot sleepers. Spring mattresses offer bounce and natural ventilation, while hybrid mattresses combine multiple materials for balanced comfort. In India, latex and hybrid options are gaining popularity among health-conscious buyers.

Suresh woke with a start. In the harsh blue light of his computer screen, he saw that it was 3:00 am. As much as he wanted to crawl into bed, he was already behind on his deadline with much more work to be done before he calls it a day.
For professionals like Suresh, being “always on” means a good night’s sleep has become the ultimate luxury. Caught between demanding careers, side hustles, social commitments, and endless doomscrolling, sleep is a battle against the very lifestyle they’ve built.
The Problem With Sleep
Sleep deprivation is so widespread today that scientists call us “The Tired Generation.” And in India, we’re not immune. Recent research shows:

– 51.7% of us struggle to fall into deep sleep

The Lifestyle-Sleep Collision
In India, our current lifestyle is at odds with what is required for good sleep. Here’s why:
Disrupted Circadian Rhythm
Do you know you have an internal clock? It’s called the Circadian Rhythm, a 24-hour cycle that regulates bodily functions, such as sleep, wakefulness, hormone release, metabolism, and even cognitive performance.
It is critical to sleep because the Circadian Rhythm regulates melatonin, the “sleep hormone”, and cortisol, the stress/energy hormone. When it gets dark, melatonin rises, making us drowsy. In the morning, light causes melatonin to dip and cortisol to increase.
However, irregular hours and excessive late nights disrupt this rhythm, throwing it into chaos.
Digital Overload and the Blue Light Problem
According to a Harvard study, blue wavelengths, delay sleep and suppress melatonin significantly more than any other light.
On top of that, endless scrolling keeps the brain in a state of cognitive arousal. Even when your phone is put away, your mind keeps racing, replaying conversations, emails, or cliffhanger episodes.
The average millennial checks their phone 150 times a day, creating micro-bursts of stress that disrupt sleep.
The Danger of Hustle Culture
‘Hustle culture’, that is becoming the norm in India, glorifies sleep deprivation as a badge of honour.
Neuroscience tells a different story. Chronic sleep loss impacts the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s decision-making hub. Meanwhile, the amygdala, the centre for processing emotions, goes into overdrive, making even minor setbacks feel overwhelming.
Stress leads to poor sleep, which fuels more stress, creating a destructive cycle.
The Physiology of Stress and Sleep Disruption
Stress doesn’t just live in the mind, it reshapes the body. When activated, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis releases cortisol, the “stress hormone.” Over time, insufficient sleep has been linked to weakened immunity and chronic health issues.
Source: Survey
The immediate effects, however, are just as worrying: memory lapses, slower reaction times, and lower creativity. In one study, sleep-deprived participants performed as poorly as someone legally drunk.
One sleepless night affects your brain like having a blood alcohol level of 0.10% (legally drunk in most countries).
How to Reclaim Rest (Without Quitting Your Job)
The truth is, sleep isn’t optional, it’s essential. However, lasting change doesn’t come from gimmicks; it comes from small, consistent habits. Here’s where to start:
Keep a steady rhythm: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, weekends included. Over time, your body clock learns the pattern, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally.
Switch off the screens: Give yourself a “digital sunset.” Dim your devices, use blue-light filters, read or get some easy stretches in.
Build a wind-down ritual: Whether it’s journaling, meditation, or a few minutes of gentle yoga, these cues help calm the nervous system and shift it out of fight-or-flight mode.
Set up your sleep zone: Your bedroom should signal “rest only.” The right mattress, especially one that supports your back and regulates temperature, can be the unsung hero of uninterrupted sleep. Brands like Duroflex are actively working towards incorporating science in their products to facilitate better sleep.
Redefine productivity: Hustle culture makes us feel guilty for resting. Flip the script: sleep isn’t laziness, it’s fuel. A well-rested brain is sharper, more creative, and more resilient than one running on fumes.
We live in a culture that glorifies busyness, but biology doesn’t negotiate. Sleep is the foundation of resilience, focus, and long-term health. The real flex isn’t how many hours you can grind, it’s how well you can show up, rested, clear-headed, and ready to take on whatever the day throws at you. In the end, rest isn’t a luxury. It’s survival.

The Duroflex range of mattresses are crafted across a wide variety and match every sleep need across a set of users.

Wondering why you wake up with a stiff back on most days, or wake up at odd hours because of tossing and turning, and then end up groggy despite getting 8 hours of sleep? Your mattress could be the real problem, stealing you of peaceful and restorative sleep. Choosing the right mattress is investing in the complete support for your body, sleep posture, and long-term health.
Why Your Mattress Matters More Than You Think
You should be sleeping for one third part of your day and the right mattress will ensure you do. A good mattress doesn’t just lull you into slumber, it is a major contributor to rejuvenation and overall wellbeing in your life. It helps align your spine, eases pressure on joints, and helps your muscles recover. The wrong mattress and sleep accessory can disrupt your sleep cycle and even cause orthopedic issues, apart from other health concerns.
Disrupted sleep is more exorbitant than the mattress you will invest in, ask the people who spend money extensively on healthcare bills. Invest in your mattress and let it invest in your body’s specific needs, your lifestyle, and your sleep environment.
Step 1: Understand Your Sleep Style
Before you make the investment for better sleep, you need to be aware of the posture you spend most of the night sleeping in. Whether you sleep on either side of your body, or are more comfortable sleeping on your back or you combine sleeping on your stomach and then side and then back again, and change often. Your sleeping style plays a major role in determining the kind specialised support your body needs.
Side sleepers need pressure relief from the joints, like your hips and shoulders.
Back sleepers need extra lumbar support.
Stomach sleepers need a softer mattress to avoid arching in their back.
Combination sleepers need a mattress that adapts to all that movement.
Step 2: Select the Right Level of Comfort: Mattress Firmness
Firm Mattress
A firm mattress’ layers are crafted to reduce sinkage and offer rigid support. This firmness in this mattress helps to keep your spine aligned in its natural form while you sleep and prevents your body from muscle strain. It’s best for back sleepers, those with chronic back pain, and people with higher body weight who seek zero softness.
Medium Firm Mattress
A medium firm mattress is the most versatile and balanced of all mattress variants, slightly soft but still boasting a stable and firm core. The balanced comfort combo of soft and firm, is a versatile option for co-sleepers, combination sleepers and those who struggle with mild back pain but don’t like to use hard mattresses.
Soft Mattress
The soft mattress offers plush comfort like a soft embrace. Choose how much softness is just enough for your body weight to maintain your spinal alignment. A mattress that’s too soft will cause your back to arch out of alignment and leave you in pain, especially if your body weight is higher. So this mattress is ideal for lightweight sleepers, side sleepers, and children.
Step 3: Ultimate Mattress Guide to Support Your Body
Orthopedic Mattress -
An orthopedic mattress offers zonal support and firm cushioning to reduce pressure on crucial parts along your body. Contrary to its reputation, this mattress is not just for people with advanced back problems, think of it as maintenance for your spine, just like your workouts are for your health!
Foam and Rebonded Mattress -
The foam and rebonded variant uses layers of high-density foam and rebonded foam to be able to offer comfort as well as motion isolation. Engineered to avoid sagging over time, so you get full value for the investment you are making, this mattress comes pocket-friendly too.
Comfort Mattress -
A Comfort Mattress offers an enviable blend of soft top layer with a supportive base. It’s designed for everyday use and suits most body types. A mattress that will adapt to the user’s needs and does not compromise on quality even though it is extremely adaptable.
Step 4: Factor in Sleep Partners
Typical of Indian families, if you too share your bed with a partner (or have a child/pet who sneaks into your bed at night), consider mattresses that are crafted with science and research behind the design. Foam and orthopedic mattresses are better than spring mattresses when it comes to motion isolation. Choose a queen bed or king bed depending on your room size and personal space needed. If you live in a joint family, comfort mattresses are a practical, multipurpose solution, highly adaptable for a good night’s sleep across any family member’s needs.
Step 5: Consider the Indian Climate and Lifestyle
Maintenance and longevity of your mattress also depends on the local weather pattern. Regions with high humidity cause heat to remain trapped in the mattress, so choosing breathable materials and moisture-wicking technology would serve you well. Wouldn’t you want to rest and recharge while you sleep, not work out a pool of sweat? In colder weather though, soft and layered mattresses help trap body heat, so you can stage dreams and not lose sleep because of the cold air.
Step 6: Common Mattress Myths
“A rigid firm mattress is always better for your back” This may apply to some people, but surely not to all, what is actually better for your back is good spinal alignment.
“Orthopedic mattresses are for old people” They're actually for anyone who values posture and long-term wellness, backed by doctors and research.
“More expensive means better sleep” Match your mattress and pillows to your body’s needs, and don’t shop by labels and price point.
Step 7: Test Before You Commit
Buying online is convenient, but always check for advantages like in-shop trials, warranty (10 years is ideal) and authenticity certifications (like ISO, ISI, or clinical testing). Duroflex offers all of the above across its orthopedic mattress styles, so you can shop with confidence.

If you live in a joint family, comfort mattresses are a practical, multipurpose solution, highly adaptable for a good night’s sleep across any family member’s needs.
Step 5: Consider the Indian Climate and Lifestyle
Maintenance and longevity of your mattress also depends on the local weather pattern. Regions with high humidity cause heat to remain trapped in the mattress, so choosing breathable materials and moisture-wicking technology would serve you well. Wouldn’t you want to rest and recharge while you sleep, not work out a pool of sweat? In colder weather though, soft and layered mattresses help trap body heat, so you can stage dreams and not lose sleep because of the cold air.
Step 6: Common Mattress Myths
“A rigid firm mattress is always better for your back” This may apply to some people, but surely not to all, what is actually better for your back is good spinal alignment.
“Orthopedic mattresses are for old people” They're actually for anyone who values posture and long-term wellness, backed by doctors and research.
“More expensive means better sleep” Match your mattress and pillows to your body’s needs, and don’t shop by labels and price point.
Step 7: Test Before You Commit
Buying online is convenient, but always check for advantages like in-shop trials, warranty (10 years is ideal) and authenticity certifications (like ISO, ISI, or clinical testing). Duroflex offers all of the above across its orthopedic mattress styles, so you can shop with confidence.
