Back & Joint Pain
The mattress is rarely the whole story with back pain, but it is the variable you can change in an afternoon. These guides cover what the research actually supports, the medium-firm range most clinicians point to, how sleep position changes the answer, and when an adjustable base relieves more than a new mattress would. None of this is medical advice. If pain wakes you regularly, talk to a doctor first, then come see us about the bed.
