Soft mattresses
By far the most common type of back pain is cause by straining your muscles, causing you to feel a dull ache within about 24 hours of the overexertion. Complete relief usually comes within a few days. Moreover, of course various things can aggravate the injury and prolong the healing process: Soft mattresses fostering poor posture and poor posture alone can actually be the cause of muscle strain.
Supporting mattresses
Be sure your mattress supports good spinal alignment. If your low back hurts, sleep with a small pillow or knee wedge under your knees.
Comfortable chairs
Avoid chairs that are too comfortable, they may encourage you to remain sitting for a long time without movement.
Choosing a bed
Professionals also advise patients to look for supportive rather than hard beds and not to assume that orthopaedic beds are automatically the best option.
New waterbed mattress
If your old waterbed mattress is over 8 years old, consider buying a new mattress.
Chairs with backrest
When sitting in a chair with a backrest, make sure your buttock is all the way back in the seat.
Kneeling chair
Distributes body weight between the seat and knee pad to minimize pressure points and improves circulation.
