The trial involved 313 adults who experienced chronic lower back pain and backache while lying on and moving from their bed. Participants were randomly assigned a medium-firm mattress or a firm mattress in place of their normal mattress. The patients who slept on the medium-firm mattresses were more likely to report reduced back pain in bed, reduced back pain upon rising from the bed, and less back pain related to disability than the patients who slept on a firm mattress.

Based on the study’s findings, a medium-firm mattress provided patients a better balance between back support and comfort for their lower back pain than a firm mattress. Sleeping on a mattress that is too hard exerts additional pressure on the back, resulting in more back pain for some patients. That being said, however, many patients did experience low back pain relief while in bed and upon rising after sleeping on a firm mattress, so a medium-firm does not appear to be most comfortable for all patients with back pain.
