We examined the influence of mattress firmness on the spinal curve, sleep quality, and subjective evaluations in healthy subjects. The firmness of the three equal parts of air /mattress was controlled by the air pressure in each part. In Experiment 1, we created nine air mattress conditions by setting the air pressure of each of the upper and middle parts at 4, 6, or 8 kPa, and that of the lower part at 6 kPa. We measured the spinal curves of 10 healthy young male subjects from the coccyx to the 7th cervical vertebra by a fiber optic-based 3D bend and twist sensor, while they laid down on their right side with the angle of the trunk and thigh at 135° (abbreviated as lying135°) and when they laid supine, in each of the nine mattress conditions. We found that the spinal curve during supine position with the conditions of lower part: 6 kPa, middle: 4 kPa, and upper: 6 kPa (“6:4:6”) was the most similar to that during lying135°, which makes the spinal curve natural. However, the subjective evaluation of "comfort of the mattress" by a visual analog scale (VAS) scored highest in the 6:4:8 condition. As Experiment 2, we compared sleep quality achieved with the 6:4:6 and 6:4:8 conditions over each of seven consecutive nights (three adaptation nights and four for analysis) in subjects’ homes. The sleep quality achieved by 20 healthy adult males and females was assessed by means of actigraphy, the standardized Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi (OSA) Sleep Inventory (middle-aged version), and VAS subjective evaluations. The estimated sleep quality measured on the 6:4:6 mattresses was significantly higher than that on the 6:4:8 mattress. The VAS evaluations of "comfort of the lower back" and "comfort of the upper back" were also higher for the 6:4:6 mattress. There were no significant differences in the OSA scores between mattress conditions. Our results indicate that the 6:4:6 mattress condition, which appeared to provide a natural spinal curve, provided higher sleep quality and higher subjective evaluations during actual use compared to the 6:4:8 condition.
