In the past conventional wisdom held that for proper support, you needed a really firm mattress. The problem is that this creates pressure on those places that stick out—your hips and shoulders. However, while a soft mattress can relieve those stress points, if it is too soft it won't keep your spine supported and you get back pain. Today you can buy a mattress that is soft just in those places where you need it to be soft under the hips and shoulders, and firm elsewhere.
