Mattress Firmness Guide
January 28th, 2010
A thick mattress for fixing back pains is one of the largest myths. Medium-firmness beds help people with back pain more frequently than the their firm counterparts, according to a Spanish study conducted in 2003. There was another study finished in 2008 that compared hard mattresses and Talalay latex mattresses and waterbeds. The conclusion saw increased back pains and tossing and turning nights for the people who used the firm mattress and not the latex foam mattresses.
