Is your Firm Mattress giving you back pain - Bedroom Trends
For decades, back pain sufferers have been told they will get better by sleeping on a very firm mattress. But now a study has overturned the long-held belief that having firm support is good for you. It found that those with bad backs were twice as likely to improve by using a medium-firm mattress.
Having 'a bit of give' in the resulted in less pain and made it easier for sufferers to get out of bed in the morning. They even needed to take fewer painkillers compared with back pain victims who were sleeping on firm mattresses. Doctors and physiotherapists specialising in back care say the findings will revolutionise the lives of back pain sufferers. They will also change the shopping habits of millions - currently, threequarters of orthopaedic physicians recommend firm mattresses.
