There is a common misconception that if you have a bad back you need a firm mattress but this is totally wrong information! The key to a comfortable night’s sleep is a mattress that is supportive so that the spine can align in a neutral position while you sleep, but you also need a mattress that is soft enough to contour to the shape of your body. The core pocket springs we make for our mattresses come in different firmnesses to ensure you get the right support, and our mini pocket springs contour to your body and are pressure relieving.
