Which mattress is best for back pain?

If you suffer from back pain, you have probably asked yourself more than once, which is better: a hard mattress or a soft one? Is there the ideal mattress for back pain?

The first thing you have to keep in mind is that each back pain is different and that not everyone needs the same rest solution. So there is no single mattress that is suitable for people suffering from this condition. Below we give you all the details, so that you can choose the best mattress for you, if you suffer from back pain.

The most important thing that your mattress must do is that it distributes your weight evenly over the entire resting surface, so that you do not notice pressure points in any area and, above all, that it respects the natural posture of the back, depending on your usual resting position. This will prevent your back problems from getting worse and the quality of your rest will be much higher. Also, do not forget that choice of the pillow is key, so that the entire spine is correctly aligned and that it must be in line with the firmness of your mattress and your way of sleeping.

Firmness of the mattress for back pain

There is a lot to consider about the necessary firmness of the mattress for those people who suffer from lower back pain. More than once you have heard that people with back pain have to sleep on firmer mattresses, but this is not entirely correct.

The firmness of the mattress will depend on the weight of our body and our tastes. Generally, a heavier body needs a firmer mattress to ensure better support. It should be noted that not all people perceive the firmness of the mattress in the same way.

If the mattress is very firm, the body does not come into complete contact with the mattress, so more pressure will be exerted on the hips and shoulders.
If the mattress is not firm, the body comes into more contact with it, which produces a sensation of hugging.

Is there the ideal mattress for back problems?

As we have mentioned before, there is no perfect formula that fits everyone, but it is true that there are certain recommendations that we can make when choosing a mattress for back pain:

Memory foam mattresses are increasingly chosen by people who suffer from back pain, as they provide greater support and comfort when sleeping.
Another option is latex mattresses, which offer firm support, but you may feel pressure points, which can be a problem. inconvenient.

Which mattress to choose if your back hurts?

The best mattress if your back hurts is one that has the right firmness for you. Models with names that involve "paedic," "physio," "chiro," or "ortho" are not necessarily better for your back. At Colchón Exprés we recommend that if your back hurts with the mattress you currently have, then you have to change the mattress. A new mattress is going to be the best for your back.
