Mattresses Popular With Back Sleepers

Back sleepers typically need a balance of support and contouring. A medium to medium-firm mattress often works well, with good lumbar support.

What to Look For

  • •Look for strong lumbar support that keeps your spine in a neutral S-curve, not a hammock shape.
  • •Medium to medium-firm (5–7/10) is the sweet spot — firm enough to support your lower back, soft enough to let your shoulders relax.
  • •Avoid mattresses that are too soft; excessive sag under your hips leads to lower-back strain over time.
