It depends on your personal sleep needs. Strong support is a must for back pain, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a firm comfort feel. Some people like to feel like they’re sinking into their mattress, while others prefer to feel like they’re lying on top of it. Side sleepers often need pressure relief for their hips and shoulders, which a firm mattress may not provide. Stomach sleepers may need a little bit of softness, enough to keep their back from arching unnaturally. Knowing your own body and what it needs for proper rest is the first step to finding the right mattress for you.
