Back Sleeper Mattress FAQs
-
What firmness is best for back sleepers?
Back sleepers are generally best suited to a medium-firm mattress, roughly 6–7 out of 10. This range keeps the spine in neutral alignment: firm enough to stop the hips sinking too far, but with enough give to support the natural inward curve of the lower back. Too soft and the pelvis dips, too firm and the lumbar region loses contact and support.

Do back sleepers need a firm mattress?
Not necessarily. Back sleepers need support and alignment rather than firmness for its own sake. A very firm mattress can leave a gap under the lumbar curve, while a medium-firm surface supports the whole back evenly. The right choice also depends on body weight — heavier sleepers usually need a firmer feel to stay properly supported.
