If you find yourself struggling with back pain, the problem could be your mattress. It's likely that your spine isn't being supported, as your sleep position, weight, and the mattress type you sleep on can affect spinal alignment. If your bed isn't adhering to your needs, it's time to rethink how to better your back.
But contrary to common belief, a firm mattress doesn't always equate to a supportive one – depending on your sleep style, a firm mattress could evenly distribute your weight or put too much pressure on your hips, shoulder, and neck, causing discomfort and pain.
