Is a firm mattress best for lower back pain?
Although there’s no one size fits all with mattresses, a firm mattress will often be the best choice for those suffering with lower back pain. This is because the firmer feel will help to keep the spine aligned, providing plenty of lumbar support and stopping any sagging in the lower back. Many firm mattresses also come with enhanced lumbar support to offer even better relief from aches and pains.
Lighter sleepers may still find a firm mattress doesn’t provide enough cushioning for pressure points, so may want to look at a medium firm mattress instead. Our round up of the best mattresses for back pain gives plenty of options to help with all sorts of aches and pains, however you sleep.
