Back pain can be affected by how your mattress supports your spine. The right mattress should feel comfortable while keeping your shoulders, hips and lower back aligned.
Look for balanced support
A mattress that is too soft can let your body sink too far, while one that is too firm can create pressure. Many sleepers prefer a medium-firm feel with comfort layers that gently contour to the body.
Do not forget your pillow
Your pillow should support your neck in a neutral position. Side sleepers often need more height, while back sleepers usually need moderate support.
