Find the Best Beds for Back Pain
Finding the source of your back problems can be a daunting task. We suggest looking into your sleep surface as a good first step.
Back problems affect more than 65 million Americans.
Could your mattress be the cause of your pain? Below are 3 signs to look out for that might say that your mattress may be the cause of back pain.
Your mattress is sinking rather than conforming
A good mattress should conform to your body and provide support where you place the most weight. An old mattress will sink to the whole silhouette of your body, creating an unsupportive sleep surface.
Your mattress is 7-8 years old
Sleep experts recommend purchasing a new mattress every 7-8 years to promote continuous healthy sleep. After years of wear and tear, mattresses lose their beloved selling points that attracted you in the beginning.
You wake up with a sore back.
Waking up each morning with aches and pains in your back is a key indicator of mattress issues being the root cause of your back pain. A mattress that is too soft can leave you susceptible to unwanted pressure points.
