The rapidly changing workplace environment is taking its toll on the health of the workers. Work is becoming increasingly demanding and is responsible for several health related problems. Stiff muscles and back pain are common among individuals who work on computers or sit on chairs throughout the day to complete their work. Moreover, people find it difficult to get proper sleep due to sore muscles and back ache. However, since hectic work environment has become a routine, one should find a solution to these ailments to ensure smooth health and work functioning.

An orthopedic mattress pad (also known as magnetic mattress pad) offers a perfect answer to these problems. It supports the spine by an accurate alignment and ensures that the spine is not convoluted inwardly. The device also takes care to avoid the local pressure points by either offering a steady solid support or a contoured body support. Almost all the non-orthopedic or conventional mattresses are likely to generate pressure points and discomfort that adversely affects the normal sleep patterns of the user. This prevents the vital rest and recovery of muscles and skeletal structure that is needed during the sleep. Worn-out and cheaper mattresses also cause the same problems.

A non-orthopedic mattress must be replaced by an orthopedic mattress pad when back, muscle or joint pain is felt in the morning following a night's sleep and feeling of a refreshed body after sleep is lacking.

Several variants of orthopedic mattresses are available. These include open and continuous coil spring, memory foam, latex foam, water beds, air beds, and magnetic mattresses. An open and continuous coil spring mattress usually contains around six coils high springs. The upper and lower ends of the coils are connected through helical wires to form a single frame-held unit. The inner space of the mattress is filled with mattress ticking. Memory foam is an exclusive material that shapes itself to the specific body contour of the person resting on it. When the person leaves the mattress, its foam reverts back to its original shape. These are the most common and economical mattresses available in the market.

Latex foam mattresses contain natural latex obtained from the rubber trees. These are similar to memory foam mattresses, apart from the fact that latex foam is more bouncy and spongy. One other feature that distinguishes latex foam mattresses from memory foam ones is that latex foam is cooler than memory foam. This feature offers the body more comfort in lying on a latex foam mattress than on memory foam mattress.

Water beds are usually heavy and are not commonly used. Air beds are usually used in specialty clinics and hospitals.

Magnetic mattresses or orthopedic mattresses pads are mattress toppers or pads that are placed over the actual mattresses. Magnetic mattresses form a magnetic field that engulfs the sleeping body. These mattresses help in providing sound sleep apart from improving several symptoms, pains, and ailments.
