A bad mattress is often a leading cause of back pain, which leads to sleeping issues, muscle soreness, and other health complications. A good mattress should support the natural curves and alignment of your spine, and a good mattress for you depends on your lifestyle, body type, or sleeping position.
Lower Back Pain Causes
Lower back pain is extremely common but rather easy to eliminate with rest, pain relievers or minor physical therapy in extreme cases. Nearly every adult will experience some form of back pain at least once in their adult life. Muscle strains, pinched nerves, herniated discs, vertebra fracture, arthritis or osteoporosis are a few ailments that may have you experiencing back pain. Your age, weight, occupation, lifestyle, health conditions, structural issues, disease and mental health issues also cause stress on your body, especially your back.
Back Pain From Your Mattress
If you are waking up with back pain but feel better as the day goes on, your mattress could be the reason.
When considering if a mattress is causing back pain, gauge how well your spine is supported and aligned. Then evaluate if the bed is old and sagging, too firm or soft, or too big or small for your body.
Your body, especially your back, needs to rest and rejuvenate each night. When this rest and rejuvenation is disrupted, it will negatively impact your overall health and well-being. Sleeping on the right mattress will allow you to wake up refreshed, pain-free, and ready for the day.
Best Mattress For Lower Back and Leg Pain
When it comes to back pain and your mattress, there is no one solution for everyone. To find the most suitable bed, consider your sleeping position of choice, your weight, your age and your lifestyle.
A Soft or Firm Mattress For Lower Back Pain
Back or stomach sleepers will enjoy a medium to firm comfort level in a mattress, with a little more emphasis on support from the cushioning, comfort layers. If your hips sink lower than your shoulders, then your mattress is too soft and will cause added stress on your spine by throwing it out of alignment.
