Mattresses for Back Pain

Shop mattresses for back pain

When you suffer from back aches, finding a mattress that strikes the perfect balance between firm support and cushioning comfort is essential. A mattress that is too soft will cause your spine to curve uncomfortably, while one that is too hard can aggravate sensitive joints.

Our collection features expertly engineered mattresses from trusted brands like Silentnight, Sealy, Sleepeezee, and SleepSoul. Whether you need the targeted weight distribution of pocket springs or the joint-cushioning properties of high-density memory foam, our range is curated to help you wake up feeling refreshed.

Choosing the right firmness for your sleeping style

We stock back pain mattresses across a variety of firmness ratings to suit your specific body weight and sleeping position. Medium-firm to firm mattresses are generally the most popular choice for alleviating back pain, as they provide the support your hips and shoulders need to keep your spine neutral. For example, if you sleep on your stomach, a too-soft mattress will severely arch your spine, so you may wish to consider a specialist mattress for front sleepers.

If you are considering a specialist firm bed to help with your posture, check out our Orthopaedic Mattress Buying Guide to understand exactly how they distribute body weight to relieve tension.

An extra firm mattress might also be something to consider if you're of a heavier build, as these are some of the best mattresses for heavy people, and can help to alleviate back pain if your hips and shoulders are dipping uncomfortably into your bed.
