Waking up with back pain? The cause is usually support, not softness. Here is how to pick a mattress that keeps your spine level.
Morning back pain usually means the hips sink too deep and the spine bends all night. The fix is support that holds the hips level, with just enough comfort on top for shoulders and pressure points.
Medium-firm for most back sleepers. Firm enough to hold the hips,
soft enough for the lower back curve. Heavier sleepers lean firmer.
Zoned pocket springs. Firmer coils under the hips, softer under
shoulders. Ask in store which models zone their springs.
A base that does not sag. High-density support foam resists body
impressions over years. Sagging undoes everything above.
Back sleeping keeps the spine neutral and suits most pain sufferers. Side sleepers need a softer top for shoulders and hips. Stomach sleeping strains the lower back for almost everyone.

A mattress helps mechanical morning pain. It does not treat injury, disc problems, or chronic conditions. See a doctor for those, then come test mattresses with the doctor's advice in hand.
