After a long exhausting day, there are few things that compare to falling onto a comfortable sofa. But not just any sofa! What is the key to finding comfort that is linked to our health?
It is important to have a piece, whether it is a sofa or chair, that gives proper posture support. The support of the back must be shaped to comfort the lumbar area naturally and distribute your body weight evenly to eliminate pressure points, much like how a mattress supports your body when you sleep!
You don’t usually think about how a furniture piece supports your body weight and pressure points. If it does have the correct springs and foam, how does that help?
The right balance of softness and support in cushions is very important. It can significantly decrease back pain, muscle soreness, and joint stiffness.
Cushions need to contour to the body's shape while still providing support where needed. They keep the body properly aligned when lounging. No more achy neck after watching your favorite show!
So, the key to comfort is the foam?
A lot of the comfort is from the foam! A sofa or chair that wraps you in just the right amount of plushness is extremely important. Also the seat height, depth and cushion density can add to this experience.
How does furniture help our mental needs?
The calming feel of sinking into a perfectly cushioned sofa or chair helps melt away daily stress.
Comfort allows us to feel more relaxed and content. That is what we need to alleviate anxiety and depression, as well as the mental pressures of the day. Surrounding yourself in comfort can help quiet mental chatter and give you piece of mind.
Does sitting for a few moments after work help our body to feel more relaxed?
Yes, a few moments of sitting or laying on a plush, cozy chair helps to clear the mind and rest your body.
Usually, when looking for a sofa or chair, you don’t think about these healthy feelings being a part of the purchase. It is important to understand how that piece can create relaxation in our body!
