January 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #148: Is an inner spring mattress good for back pain?

Tip of the Week

Although inner spring mattresses have a reputation as being better for back pain than other kinds of mattresses, the fact is that it depends on the amount of support your spine gets while you sleep. Too firm or too soft will both make you uncomfortable. In fact, a firm mattress is really only helpful for acute back spasms. For regular back pain, they make little difference at all.
