Good morning! Or is it a rough one because you keep waking up with back pain? 😩 There is a good chance you are sleeping in the wrong position. A quality mattress could be the answer. But what is the best mattress for back pain? Should you choose a firm or a soft one? We will help you pick a mattress that eases back pain.
Causes of your back pain
Have you been waking up with back pain for a few weeks? It helps to ask yourself what is really causing it. Often it is a mix of factors:
- Poor sleep posture | Whether you sleep on your back side or stomach your body should stay in a straight line. Make sure your spine remains in a neutral position.
- Worn out mattress | Do you feel a dip or notice a lack of support? That usually means the mattress is worn. You no longer sleep in a natural position which often leads to back pain.
- Pillow too thick or too thin | It is not only the mattress that can cause trouble. A pillow that is too high or too low can misalign your neck and spine and that can trigger back pain.
- Stress or tension | Your posture mattress or pillow might not be the only reasons. Stress and tension during the day and night can also play a part. Meditation or other relaxation exercises may help you sleep more calmly. Give it a try
- Medical issues | Back pain can also come from medical conditions such as inflammation a hernia or osteoarthritis. Speak to a doctor for specialist help.

Which mattress firmness works for back pain?
Looking for a mattress to ease back pain and doubting between soft or firm? That is common. Many people assume a soft mattress cannot support you properly. Not true a soft mattress can offer excellent support especially if you are a side sleeper or have a lighter body build. A firmer mattress often suits back and stomach sleepers and people with a heavier build. So which firmness should you pick for back pain? Here is a quick guide
Soft mattress
A soft mattress is suitable for side sleepers and those with a lighter body build. It allows the hips and shoulders to sink a little deeper which keeps the spine aligned. A softer mattress is wonderfully comfortable like sleeping on a cloud. It adapts to your body and reduces pressure points which helps to relieve back pain.
Firm mattress
A firm mattress is recommended for back and stomach sleepers and for people with a heavier body weight. Extra firmness prevents sagging and helps you avoid sleeping in a dip. It promotes a natural sleep posture with your spine nicely aligned. A possible drawback is added pressure on shoulders or hips.
Medium firm mattress
A medium firm mattress is the best mattress for back pain giving the ideal balance of comfort and support. Your spine stays in a straight line and it still feels cloud soft. The Cloudpillo mattresses are designed with this in mind. They use premium materials such as a memory foam layer and a special Adaptive Support layer for extra support. Whichever you choose it will adapt to your body and relieve pressure points. That is why Cloudpillo is the best mattress for back pain.
