Exactly. I slept at a hotel this past weekend and woke up without any of the usual lower back pain and stiffness. Returned home, slept in my bed and the pain the next morning was debilitating. The following night I slept on an exercise mat on the floor - "bamb" no pain.

I have back pain, hips, legs, everything. When i go away the mattress is soft and i didnt know what is was like to wake uo without severe backpain until i slept on a soft one. I have to change mine, its firm, and i wake up in agony. I fall alseep on my side and wake up on my back always. I was told soft mattress is bad for u but for me it turns out i need a soft one even tho he said in the vid a firm one is for back pain like mine

same here. if you read my comment, I have your same issues and I need a firm mattress but with some softness to it! memory foam toppers make my but sink and this makes the pain worse (although it relief my shoulder as a side sleeper). I have to try latex topper or try latex bed and see if it is right for me.

What if you’re a side sleeper and the back pain feels best when you walk around or get up? What type of mattress works best then?
@johnatyoutube

I have exactly that problem. Just bought a firm very expensive mattress from Aireloom. My back pain got much worse because it's pushing my hips up. Now I'm trying to decide if I should get a latex topper for it to soften it to allow my hips to sink a little. My intuition tells me that I need a firm mattress with a medium top 2 inches to straighten my back. I can't believe how much money I've spent to make my back feel worse. This video is useless for side sleepers.

So, this is funny, but my problem is the hopposite you stated: I have lumbosciatica, where the disc between my last lombar vertebrae and first sacral one is a bit consumed. I also have hyper lordosis. So when I walk too much i start to feel the pain in my lower back. I changed my mattress (it was past its time) and I bought a very firm one which was ok for my back problem (when I was sleeping on my back) because made my back very strait. On the other hand, it was too hard on my upper back and shoulders when I was sleeping on my side. So I tryed a memory foam topper (6cm) and my back sunk in, causing my hyperlordosis to aggravate! I was waking up with sore hips and it was a pain while I was walking durring the day. I am waiting on a latex topper to see if it helps me. I must say I slept the best nights of my life on a latex bed, on the floor, in one of my trip to Seoul! I was waking up with no pain everywhere and I could walk miles durring the day. So, now that I am searching for the best mattress for me, I am thinking of buying a whole latex bed.

But, in a soft mattress, your hips will sink in more, causing the hips to flex forward and your lower back to arch, which is bad.

Mattress companies will still charge you fees for returning a mattress. On top of firmness of mattress there is also amount of soft material on top of springs that can be 3-4 inches!

Hi doc. One quick question which if you suggest might chnage my speed of recovery. I have a disc bulge l3 tto l5. I have wasted alot on many matresses. I understand and feel better on hard mattresses( extension favourable ) but unable to decide the right firmness and material which provides the righr firmness. Its getting too hard.

I have personally found that the activity which causes the most back discomfort for myself is: driving a car. I can sit for hours in front of a computer, as long as I am sitting on a hard seat, NOT a comfy chair or sofa with a very spongey seat material. I think I would probably be better off with a firmer than average mattress.

I experience numbness on my arms, shoulders, back, rear and legs on whichever side I lay on. With my current 8 inch foam mattress I just sink almost down to the wooden base. I can't sit in bed or lay on my back without my back and rear going numb. Any area or my body I lay on with any pressure goes partly numb from sinking into the mattress. What kind of spring or hybrid mattress offers the best support to prevent sinking too far, but still soft enough to not add more pressure causing numbness?

I'm currently sleeping on a new all-foam mattress and the problem I find is that my hips sink deep into it, causing that C shape curve to be more pronounced as I sleep, leaving me with lower back pain when I wake up. I'm ready to send this mattress back to the store and I'm pretty sure I needed something firmer, possibly with springs in it for added support at the hips. Any thoughts, Will?
