How to Get In and Out of Your Mattress Safely and Effectively

Getting in and out of bed seems simple until it’s... not. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing back pain, or just want to move more mindfully, your orthopedic mattress deserves to be used the right way. Here’s how to do it safely while getting the most out of your Nightingale mattress.

 

1. Getting Into Bed the Safe Way

 

Position yourself at the edge of the bed so the mattress touches the back of your knees.
Place one hand on a stable surface (like the mattress edge or a side table) for support. Gently bend your knees and lower yourself onto the bed, keeping your movements slow and controlled.

Avoid dropping suddenly or twisting your spine. This protects your joints and helps maintain the structure of your orthopedic mattress, ensuring it continues to deliver proper spine alignment support for years.

🎥 Tip: If you often wake up stiff, check your sleeping posture or explore back pain prevention methods on Healthline.

2. Getting Out of Bed Without Strain

Start by rolling onto your side near the edge. Swing your legs slowly over the side of the mattress until your feet touch the floor. Place your hands on the mattress surface or a sturdy bedside structure. Lean forward slightly, keep your back straight, and push through your legs to rise to a standing position.

This technique reduces pressure on your lower back and avoids sudden strain—especially important for those using orthopedic mattresses for spinal recovery or posture correction.
