What mattress firmness is right for back sleepers?

We highly recommend a medium or medium-firm to firm mattress for back sleepers, although this can depend on your weight. A firmer surface absorbs the pressure from your heavier bones, allowing your muscles to fully relax without your body dipping out of shape. If you're of a heavier build, a firmer mattress can absorb more pressure, so check out our mattresses for heavy people.

If you suffer from chronic lower back pain, you may even want to consider an extra-firm or orthopaedic mattress for maximum postural control. Read our guides to the best mattresses for back pain and our Mattress Firmness Guide for more help.

Best mattress types for back sleepers

At MattressNextDay, we stock a huge range of mattress types that are perfect if you sleep on your back. Here are the types you should look for:

• Orthopaedic Mattresses: Designed specifically for spinal health, these are the ultimate choice for back sleepers who need to ease lower back pain and keep their posture perfectly controlled.

• Pocket Sprung Mattresses: Individually wrapped springs react to your body weight, providing targeted, zoned support to your heaviest pressure points.

• Memory Foam & Hybrids: It's a myth that memory foam is bad for your back! A medium-firm or firm memory foam mattress will expertly contour to your spine's natural curve. If you want the bounce of springs with the contouring of foam, a hybrid mattress is your perfect match.
