Back pain can have a variety of different causes. You could pull a muscle by lifting something heavy with improper form. You could take a fall by walking on a freshly mopped tile floor. And, in what is becoming a distressing trend across the country, you could find yourself facing intense back pain due to the fact that you hold your head at an awkward angle in order to stare at your work computer and the work emails you receive on your smartphone.

And, you can often find yourself waking up with a sore and aching back simply because you sleep on a mattress that is ill-suited for your needs.

As this article explains, there is no one type of mattress that will work best for everyone. It’s important to find a mattress that is firm enough to give your skeletal structure adequate support while you sleep while also being soft enough to not cause your muscles to tense up during the night.

The only way to determine the appropriate softness/firmness level for you is to try out various mattresses until you find one that makes you feel both comfortable and supported. It’s also a good idea to get massages on a regular basis to keep your back and neck tension free before you ever lay down to sleep.
