Shopping for a new mattress is an interesting affair, especially if it has been a while since you last shopped for one. In the past couple of years, science has come a long way. Newer innovations can make it easier for you to find a mattress that best caters to your sleep and back needs.

Here, we have listed some of the most useful types of mattresses for back pain. 

Memory foam
It is one of the popular types of mattresses for back pain. The reason for the popularity of memory foam mattresses is that it gives the sleeper a cradle sensation. When you sleep on the bed, it will take up your body shape, and once you wake up, it will bounce back to its usual form. The mattress comes with extra support and cushioning, making it perfect for people who sleep on the side or need relief from back pain. 

Pillow tops
Side sleepers who do not find the memory foam or gel mattress comfortable can go with a pillow top mattress. There is an extra layer of upholstery in the pillow topper mattresses added to the top of the mattress, which makes it very cushiony and soft. These mattresses also create a sinking effect like the memory foam mattresses and keep your back in the perfect alignment. These mattresses are mostly used with the coil or innerspring variants. 

Innerspring
These are mattresses that employ internal support of metal springs. The quality of the innerspring mattress is best defined by the number of coils found in it. It is the distribution and the number of coils that determine how well the mattress will comfort your body. These are a good pick for side, tummy, and back sleepers. The back support quality that these mattresses offer depends on the spring’s shape and the coil gauges. 

Latex mattresses
Latex mattresses are quite similar to memory foam mattresses. However, the only difference between the two is that these are made from 100% latex foam. These mattresses are incredibly useful in preventing back pain, as well as the T points. However, latex mattresses have a distinct feel about them, which is referred to as buoyant. Since these blankets are a little more on the rigid size, it is best to pick a thinner size of the latex mattress that best caters to your adjustable base. 

Adjustable bases
If you are looking for a type of mattress for back pain, the adjustable base mattress is a good option. These are flexible and offer support and relief wherever needed. A base can be added to these mattresses to raise your feet, elevate your head, or provide better back support. These mattresses are ideal for targeting sleep issues, such as heartburn, back pain, sleep apnea, acid reflux, muscle pain, and others.
