Are pillowtop mattresses good for your back?

Pillowtop mattresses can be good for your back if they provide proper support and alignment. A soft mattress can still be supportive. It’s all about balance.

A pillowtop mattress has an additional layer of cushioning on top of the mattress surface. This extra layer of cushioning can provide additional comfort and pressure relief.  This can help reduce pain and discomfort in the back.

However, it’s important to note that not all pillowtop mattresses are created equal. A pillowtop mattress that is too soft or lacks proper support can actually worsen back pain and lead to poor spinal alignment. It’s important to choose a pillowtop mattress that provides proper support and alignment for your body type and sleeping position.  The quality of the cushioning materials is significant too.  Low quality foam can feel great initially, but lead to more body impressions and uneven support down the road.

If you have back pain work with a Lebeda mattress specialist to find the right type of mattress that will provide the proper support for your back.  You will need to come into the store and experience the mattresses for yourself.  Every person’s body is unique and so is their perceptions of what is comfortable.  Only you can make that determination for yourself while your salesperson will help point you in the right direction.

Pillowtops are a softer mattress by definition.  A mattress that is too soft or lacks proper support can lead to poor sleep quality and affect your overall health and well-being. Again, it’s all about balance.
