A mattress may be the cure.
Is it me? Or is my pain
caused by a bad mattress?
Good question. A good mattress eases and prevents pain, a bad mattress causes it, or makes existing pain worse. If you experience chronic pain, spinal-related back pain, or pain resulting from an injury, you know that pain management is part of your life. Sleeping on the right mattress for pain may not totally eliminate your pain, but the right mattress can certainly ease, and not exacerbate your existing pain, and that’s big. For those who are waking up in pain and don’t know why, unless you’re sleep jogging at night, your mattress set up may very well have something to do with it.

Top 4 reasons why your mattress is causing pain
Here are the most common things about a mattress that typically result in morning aches and pains.
Worn out mattress
If you experience morning pains and are unsure where they’re coming from, or you have existing pain that’s worse when you wake up, it’s a sign that you’re sleeping on a mattress that is old, worn out, and has lost it’s support properties. This can have your body contorted throughout the night depriving you of deep REM sleep, and have you waking up with aches and pains.
An old or worn out mattress may have permanent lumps, peaks, or indentations that will prevent proper spinal alignment and deprive you of deep REM sleep.
Mattress too soft
Soft mattresses that lack adaptive support properties in the foam are unable to respond to the need for additional support at the high compression areas, which can contort your spine. Lateral spine contortions may also occur as you get closer to the edges on a super soft mattress. It may feel like a cotton ball, but that mattress is killing you softly.
A mattress that’s too soft will allow your hips and shoulders to sink into the mattress too much which contorts your spine while you sleep resulting in a variety of pains.
Cheap mattress
We hate cheap mattresses because they look like a mattress, but they don’t act like a mattress. Cheap memory foam mattresses are made from low grade foams that either feel solid as a rock, or worse, have foam weights and that are below what’s required to provide proper support for an adult person, and degrade more rapidly. It’s worse because at first it may seem like it’s going to be supportive, but then it fails you when you need it most. Feels like a bait and switch.
With a cheap mattress, you may find yourself falling into a cavern in the middle of the mattress, and in this position there’s no way to align your spine for a restful night’s sleep and a pain free day.
Worn, damaged, or uneven mattress foundation
Ah, the silent killer, your mattress foundation. It’s easy to overlook your foundation or base when assessing the performance of your mattress, but let us say, it shant be overlooked. A worn, uneven, or even slightly damaged foundation will diminish the performance of your mattress to varying degrees.
A bad foundation will make even the best and most expensive mattress sag, dip, and hurt your body. Don’t forget to inspect yours regularly, repair or replace parts as needed, or replace your mattress foundation or base if its life has run its course.
