Sleeping  Position to Avoid  to Get Rid of  Back Pain 

Popular opinion dictates that the firmer the mattress, the better it will be for your back.

This has led to the invention of orthopedic mattresses. Mattresses that have more springs which, in turn, provide a much firmer feel.

A Guide to the Mattress Firmness Scale

The reality is that a mattress that is too firm can cause problems for your back too.

For example, a firm mattress will push your spine out of alignment if you’re a side sleeper.

Modern studies have found that medium-firm mattresses are, in fact, as good, if not better, for your back than orthopedic mattresses.

The principle is simple: those who sleep in different positions need a mattress that can adapt.

The best mattresses for adapting to your sleeping position are memory foam mattresses.

If you´re a side sleeper, a memory foam mattress will contour to your shoulders while supporting your lower back, providing better support all-round.

The final thing to consider regarding firm mattresses is the quality of sleep. There´s little point in having a solid bed you can´t sleep on.

As I mentioned earlier, there´s an intrinsic link between a good night´s sleep and less back pain. Medium-firm mattresses will be much more comfortable than rock-solid orthopedic or futon mattresses.

If it helps you sleep better, it will indirectly help reduce back pain’s impact.

Medium-firm mattresses are better suited to a good night´s sleep.

The Sleeping  Position to Avoid  to Get Rid of  Back Pain 

As you´ve probably guessed, the worst sleeping position is on your stomach.
It causes your back to flatten, which makes your muscles work much harder.
The result, of course, is lower back and upper neck pain.
Other notable mentions are any sleeping positions that cause you to twist parts of your body.
Unnatural positions may seem comfortable at the time, but they make your muscles work harder to support your bones.
