It’s no secret that back pain can seriously interfere with one’s ability to both fall asleep and sleep through the night. To make matters worse, poor sleep can aggravate and elongate pre-existing back pain. Thankfully, an increasing amount of mattress manufacturers have recognized this relationship between back pain and poor sleep quality.
Now, many offer an array of mattresses that have been proven to help alleviate back pain. Some of the most popular mattresses currently on the market include the following:
1. Sleep Number Innovation Series Mattress
The Sleep Number 360 i8 Smart Bed is a favorite among customers looking to buy a Sleep Number Innovation Series mattress. The i8 Smart Bed allows individual users to adjust the amount of pressure in the mattress to find his or her exact level of desired support at any given time. This technology allows users to make specific adjustments to help prevent or further aggravate any back pain. Sleep Number beds utilize Sleep Number’s Responsive Air technology to sense any mid-sleep movements and automatically adjust the bed’s firmness, comfort, and support to ensure a consistent quality of sleep without requiring any reactive adjustment(s) by the user. A king size Sleep Number 360 i8 Smart Bed currently retails for $3,099.
2. Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Memory Foam Mattress
Like every mattress made by Tempur-Pedic, the TEMPUR-Adapt Memory Foam Mattress utilizes Tempur-Pedic’s famous TEMPUR Material. This material was originally developed by NASA to help astronauts absorb the force of gravity and it causes any unwanted motions made (e.g, from sleeping partners) in the Tempur-Adapt Memory Foam Mattress to be absorbed, reducing any pressure points and allowing for a deeper sleep. A king size Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Memory Foam Mattress (Medium) currently retails for $2,899.
3. The GhostBed Latex Mattress
The GhostBed Mattress is an all-foam memory mattress that uses a non-allergenic latex foam comfort layer. The combination of memory foam and latex allows for the GhostBed mattress to feel soft, supportive, and springy while ensuring minimal motion transfer to its users. The GhostBed Latex Mattress is designed to keep a user’s spine aligned while letting users slightly sink into their beds for pressure relief. A king size GhostBed Mattress currently retails for $1,095 making it significantly less expensive than a Latex for Less mattress which retails for $1,599.
4. The Endy Mattress
The Endy Mattress is a medium-firm mattress specifically designed to reduce pressure on the back and hips to provide optimal comfort to its users. Unlike traditional memory foam, the foam used in an Endy mattress is temperature insensitive which allows for consistent firmness to be maintained throughout the night and during all seasons. A king size Endy Mattress currently retails for $950 CAD or approximately $750 USD.
5. The Casper Mattress
Casper’s All-Foam Original Mattress is Casper’s most popular mattress. This mattress utilizes Casper’s Zoned Support™ technology, with the mattress’s foam components divided into three ergonomic zones to help keep a user’s spine aligned. Zoned Support™ gently sinks shoulders and cradles hips for ergonomic spinal alignment and allows back muscles to rest for a more relaxing night of sleep. A king size All-Foam Original Mattress currently retails for $1,295.
