Why Your Mattress Might Be the Reason You Wake Up with Back Pain

Waking up with lower back pain or stiffness is a common issue—one that’s often caused not by posture or injury, but by an unsuitable mattress. The wrong level of firmness can lead to poor spinal alignment during sleep, putting strain on your back muscles and joints over time.

Understanding Firmness: It’s Not One-Size-Fits-All

While many assume a firm mattress is best for back pain, that’s not always true. A mattress that’s too soft can cause the body to sink and curve unnaturally, while one that’s too firm might create pressure points and lack the give needed to cushion joints.

That’s why choosing the right mattress depends on your sleep position, body type, and personal comfort preferences.
