You may wake up with lower back pain if your sleeping position involves twisting or putting pressure on the lower spine. The ideal sleeping position is on your side with a partial bend in the knees. You can put a pillow between your knees to make it more comfortable.
The best mattress for back pain depends on your weight, body shape and sleeping preferences. You need a mattress that is in good condition and doesn’t sag to ensure you have the correct spinal alignment. A medium-firm mattress is generally recommended to help with back pain.
