Waking up in the morning with mild back pain after lying in one position for hours isn’t unusual. But if you’re experiencing more severe pain in the morning, something else may be to blame — including your mattress and pillow setup.
It’s easy to end up with a mattress (or pillow) that isn’t quite right if you don’t know what you’re looking for. And, even the best mattress chosen for your specific sleep needs won’t last forever, and an old mattress can cause problems for your back too (more on that below).
Here, we’ll run you through the main reasons why your back pain may be worse in the morning and give you suggestions for how to fix it. If you are looking to buy one of the best mattresses for back pain, the upcoming Presidents’ Day mattress sales are an excellent time to buy, with some early deals already live.
