Waking Up With Back Pain? Your Mattress Might Be the Reason

You went to bed feeling fine. You woke up feeling like you'd helped a friend move.

If morning back pain has become part of your routine, your mattress might be the reason. It's not the only possible cause, and if pain sticks around, talk to your doctor. But how your body is supported for seven or eight hours a night matters more than most people realize.

What happens when support breaks down

When a mattress loses support, a few things happen:

• Your hips sink too far. The heaviest part of your body pulls down.
• Your spine bows out of alignment. Instead of resting in a neutral line, it bends all night.
• Your muscles stay tense. They work to hold you in place when they should be recovering.

The result? You wake up stiff, sore and wondering why.

Myth: "Firmer is always better for your back"

Myth. There isn't one firmness that works for everyone. A mattress that's too firm can create pressure at your shoulders and hips. One that's too soft lets you sink out of alignment. The right answer depends on your body, your weight and how you sleep.

That's why we say: Not Every Mattress Fits Every Body.
