Posture Information | Best Mattress For Back Pain

As a Chiropractor, I'm regularly asked which is the best mattress for back pain. To be able to answer honestly, it was time for my husband and I to make a visit to the local mattress store and check them out.

I never realized there were so many choices! No wonder everyone has questions. I will have to say that there is likely not a perfect mattress that works for every spine, but I do have my favorite. (My husband had his own favorite, and our choices are not the same.)

We first tried a standard spring mattress. I think the days of these mattresses are numbered. If you've always used a mattress with springs, you probably have no idea what your missing on some of the other options, but my least favorite mattresses were all of the one with coils and springs.

The next was the mattresses filled with air. My husband and I got on the mattress and each side was then set to our optimal number. For me, the mattress was best when it was firm and at a much higher number. My husband's number was more in the middle. For couples, the ability to make this change may be the determining factor.

My husband's favorite was the mattress made of foam material. This space-age material did wonders for him, as he was nearly asleep during the test. The salesman indicated that some people say they are warmer sleeping in this type of bed, which may be a negative if you're always hot.

So which mattress is the best mattress for back pain? I guess it depends on who you ask. I would first ask if you are sure the mattress is the main cause of your back pain in the first place. I see patients that come to my office for low back pain, even after they've tried and tested various mattresses. They usually have even tested the very mattresses that I had.

Assuming that changing your mattress will change your spine is probably not a good thing. Keeping your spine in line and improving posture to help keep it that way may save you thousands in the mattress store.

"Everything You Need To Change Your Posture For Good."

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
