If you’re waking up sore every morning and feel that you have to stretch before you can function normally, your mattress is probably the cause or a major contributing factor of your pain. Individuals with chronic lower back pain or spinal problems need to select their mattresses carefully to avoid making back problems worse. At the Mattress Factory, our experts are here to help! We’ve compiled a list of tips that will help you when you decide to replace your old mattress. When buying a mattress to help with back problems, always consider:
- Spinal Alignment, Full-Body Support
Your mattress should support the curvature of your spine and reduce the pressure on your hips and shoulders. It should also support your waist and neck. Memory foam mattresses such as the Comfor – pedic mattress offer patented memory foam technology that is ideal for personalized support and comfort. Memory foam is widely regarded as a great option for people with back pain!
For many years, firm mattresses were regarded as the best choice for back problems. Recently, studies and customer reviews have indicated that medium-firm mattresses may actually perform better. A 2003 study published in Lancet found that medium-firm mattresses relieved lower back pain better than firm mattresses for participants. But it’s important to remember that one size does not fit all!
Memory foam mattresses are ideal for providing custom support, but many buyers complain of heat. With the ComforPedic – Restored Spirits Mattress and its state-of-the-art TruTemp™ technology, excess unwanted heat is never a problem!
