This can vary depending on the position used most often for sleeping. Side sleepers may want a mattress that is slightly softer – perhaps with a pillow top or memory foam design. Stomach sleepers may want a firmer mattress, which lacks the additional plush that many brands offer.  Did you know that you might be a stomach sleeper because you are coping with chronic back pain? You may quickly find that your sleeping position changes as your back pain fades. If this isthe case, you may want to consider a middle-grade mattress that is neither too firm nor too soft through multiple positions. In other words, test positions that you may not be using right now. If you pick the right mattress, your preferred position could change. You don’t want to end up needing an entirely new mattress for this reason.

Our Brands and Important Traits

At US-Mattress, we offer a variety of options and brands that will assist you with your chronic back pain. These brands include Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Simmons, Tempur-Pedic, and Serta.

We ensure that all of our mattresses recommended for individuals with chronic back pain include at least one of these factors.

• A complete edge. This will provide perimeter support that will keep you comfortable anywhere on the surface of the mattress. You also don’t have to be afraid about sitting on the edge of the bed, which is often far better for your back than sitting in the center. Most models with a complete edge have nearly twenty percent more usable sleeping space.
• Conforming support. This feature will ensure that your mattress conforms to the curves of your body. This will keep your spine aligned as you sleep. The support is often provided by an advanced coil system.

• Even comfort. Mattresses with this feature will distribute comfort evenly across the surface. You won’t feel the need to toss and turn throughout the night, looking for a more suitable position.

An added note: if you have a sleeping partner, you should absolutely consider purchasing a mattress with little or no motion transfer between partners. This will allow you to sleep longer and better – with fewer unnecessary disruptions. It is absolutely a feature worth paying for.

With all of that being said, let’s take a look at our favorite brands for individuals with chronic back pain.

Serta

We offer a variety of Serta brands, including iComfort, Perfect Sleeper, and Sertapedic. All three brands are ideal, but those with chronic back pain should focus on the iComfort series.

As the name suggests, this series is all about comfort and contouring to your body. This feature is necessary for individuals with back pain – as it will keep them from tossing and turning.Some specific mattresses to consider include the Savant III Plush for side sleepers and the F700 for stomach sleepers. Both options offer durability and contouring – but they differ in their experience when it comes to cushion. There are a variety of other iComfort mattresses that can benefit sleepers with back pain. Simply choose one that matches your preferred position and comfort level.

Tempur-Pedic

The entire Tempur-Pedic brand is about keeping sleepers comfortable throughout the night. We offer Soft & Supportive, Firm & Contouring, Adaptive & Responsive, Cooling Technology, and Best Sellers. Side sleepers with back pain will want to focus on Soft & Supportive mattresses, while stomach sleepers with back pain will want to focus on Firm & Contouring.

If you believe your sleeping position may change after your back pain improves, you might want to consider the Adaptive & Responsive category. These mattress will adapt to your needs.In particular, we suggest the Tempur-Contour Rhapsody Luxe for stomach sleepers and the Tempur-Cloud Elite for side sleepers. Again, you can explore more options within both of these categories. The vast majority of them are worth considering.

Sealy

Our Sealy brands include Posturepedic, Select, Optimum, and Comfort Series. Depending on your mattress choice, any of these brands could deliver maximum results. Because sleepers with back pain often require medium-firm mattresses, we’ve decided to focus on the Posturepedic series.

For side sleepers, the Sealy Posturepedic Santa Paula III Plush Euro Top Mattress is ideal. It offers a Comfort Scale rating of 5 and comes in multiple sizes. You’ll find the mattress to be more than comfortable, with a plush top that will cushion your sleeping experience. Topped with extra soft foam and built with gel foam, the Santa Paula III is durable and long lasting. It even offers a coil system that will provide solid support – no matter where you sleep.

For stomach sleepers, or those who prefer a firmer mattress, we suggest the Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Cobalt Firm Mattress. This mattress offers a Comfort Scale rating of 4 – making it soft enough to handle your back pain without exhausting your preferred sleeping position. It includes gel memory foam and a premier coil system that delivers necessary core support.

Stearns & Foster

Our variety of Stearns & Foster mattresses includes Reserve, Lux Estate, and Estate. For individuals with back pain, the Reserve series has quite a bit to offer.We suggest considering the Stearns & Foster Estate Addison Grace Luxury Plush Mattress – if you want something on the softer side. This mattress ranks 5 on the Comfort Scale and promises a plush finish that will keep you comfortable all night long.

On the other hand, if you want a mattress on the firmer side, we suggest the Stearns & Foster Lux Estate Hybrid Kenna Rose Luxury Cushion Firm Mattress. This mouthful promises a ComfortScale rating of 4, without the plush top that will have you sinking into the mattress. Stomach sleepers should look into the Lux Estate series for other options.

Simmons

Last, but not least, our Simmons brands include plenty of mattresses geared toward those facing chronic back pain. We offer Beautyrest, BeautySleep, and Beautyrest Black. You’ll find that any of these brands can meet your expectations.

However, we specifically suggest the Simmons BeautySleep Solar Fest Plush Mattress for side sleepers and the Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Kenosha Place II Luxury Firm Pillow Top Mattress for stomach sleepers – or those who prefer a firmer mattress.

Remember, though, that your mattress is an investment in your day-to-day life. This mattress is where you start your morning and end your evening.

Make it a good one.
