Supporting Healthy Pregnancy Weight Gain with the Right Mattress

by Ivy Liu 11 Jul 2025

We all know that expectant mothers have a heavy physical burden due to their babies, and resting every night is crucial at this time. A good night's sleep not only nourishes the mother's energy, but also provides better development time for the baby in her belly.

As the abdomen gradually bulges and weight increases, the challenge to sleep quality becomes increasingly severe, and being able to sleep peacefully in bed has even become a luxury. As pregnancy progresses, the quality of sleep for pregnant women is directly related to the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, choosing a mattress specifically designed for pregnant women is particularly crucial.

The following six principles can help you choose the right mattress, allowing your mother to sleep soundly and your baby to grow up healthy.

1. Suitable firmness and support force

(1) Core requirements: Supportive and spinal protection

The lumbar spine and pelvis of pregnant women will bear greater pressure with changes during pregnancy, so the support of the mattress is crucial! Choosing mattress design and craftsmanship can evenly distribute body weight, fit the spinal curve, and avoid hanging or collapsing the waist.

In addition, the support of the mattress is closely related to the body shape changes of pregnant women. As pregnancy progresses, the pregnant woman's body shape will undergo significant changes, especially the waist and abdomen will become larger and larger. Therefore, mattresses should have good adaptability and be able to provide corresponding support according to the body shape changes of pregnant women.

(2)Medium Firmness for the Most Suitable

Choosing a mattress with medium firmness can provide sufficient support for the pregnant woman's body without putting excessive pressure on the lumbar spine and pelvic bones. Mattresses with excessive hardness can make pregnant women feel uncomfortable, causing muscle soreness after prolonged sitting or lying down, and may also compress blood circulation. Mattresses that are too soft lack support, leading to physical deformation and discomfort in pregnant women. It is recommended to choose a moderately stiff style that can support the waist and back without causing discomfort.

(3) Lateral lying and supine position experiences

When trying to lie down, pay attention to whether the shoulders and hips sink too much when lying on the side, and whether the waist fits the mattress when lying down.

2、 Environmentally friendly material

Priority should be given to OEKO-TEX ® Certified natural latex, foam and other materials, avoiding adhesives containing formaldehyde. The breathing rate of pregnant women is accelerated, and synthetic materials such as polyurethane foam may release volatile organic compounds, which may cause long-term exposure or affect fetal development.

3、 Respiratory and temperature regulation

Choosing a mattress with good breathability and temperature regulation is crucial for the health and comfort of pregnant women. Mattresses with poor breathability are prone to breeding bacteria and mites, posing a risk of allergies and respiratory diseases to pregnant women. Good temperature regulation performance can effectively reduce the stuffiness or coldness that pregnant women feel while sleeping, allowing them to enjoy a comfortable sleeping environment.

Usually, the breathability and temperature regulation performance of a mattress mainly depend on the material selection. Natural materials such as latex and foam have good respiratory and temperature regulating properties, and are more friendly to the skin and respiratory system of pregnant women. In addition, the surface material of the mattress also needs to choose soft and breathable fabrics to improve overall comfort.

4、 Anti allergy and protective functions

Pregnant women have relatively low immunity and are more sensitive to external stimuli. Therefore, choosing a mattress with strong anti allergy and protective functions is very important. Anti allergy mattresses can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and mites, reduce exposure to allergens, and alleviate allergic reactions in pregnant women. At the same time, the protective function can provide a certain isolation effect, prevent the mattress from being contaminated by the outside world, and bring a hygienic and healthy sleeping environment to pregnant women.

When choosing a mattress with anti allergy and protective functions, you can choose products with antibacterial, anti mite, and waterproof properties. These mattresses not only reduce discomfort caused by allergic reactions in pregnant women, but also protect the mattress itself from contamination. Choosing a detachable and washable jacket is more conducive to maintaining hygiene, reducing the risk of skin allergies and respiratory irritation.

5、 Fit the curve for easy flipping

The segmented design of the mattress can adapt to the changing body curves of pregnant women, with a reserved sinking space of about 2-3 centimeters in the abdominal area and sufficient support for the shoulders and hips. It can test the gap between the waist and the mattress when lying down, and it is best to insert the palm just flat. The increase in abdominal weight during late pregnancy leads to difficulty in turning over. The edge of the mattress should have reinforced support, and the rebound time should be controlled within 3 seconds. Thick memory foam over 10 centimeters may increase turning resistance. It is recommended to choose a thickness of 7-8 centimeters with a breathable bottom layer.

6、 Spring mattress is not suitable for use

Although spring mattress provides good comfort and resilience, pregnant women should avoid using them. Due to the elastic characteristics of spring mattresses, pregnant women may face the risk of spinal disorders during use, which may not only have a serious impact on the lumbar spine, but also cause back pain and hinder their turning movements. During pregnancy, the weight gain and heaviness of pregnant women require more stable support, and spring mattresses often cannot provide sufficient support, which can easily cause the pregnant woman's body to sink and affect the convenience of turning over.

The quality of sleep for pregnant women directly affects the health of the fetus. In addition to choosing a suitable mattress, it is recommended to use a maternity pillow to reduce abdominal pressure and maintain a left side sleeping position to improve placental blood supply. Air dry the mattress once a week, clean the surface with a mite remover, and lay natural rattan mats to assist in heat dissipation when the room temperature exceeds 26 ℃. Avoiding excessive drinking water 2 hours before bedtime and relaxing the pelvis with a yoga ball can also help improve sleep comfort.
