Thread: Back Pain Affecting My Sleep

I have the same problem in my lower back. The best thing I can do for it is to make sure I place a hand towel under my lumbar and make sure the part of my mattress that sags is filled with a folded blanket. I am going to do this until I get a gel-mattress which is supposed to be the best mattress for back pain. I had a Tempurpedic but it was horrible for my back. It sagged when it warmed up and it felt like I was being smothered and when it was cold it was hard like rock. So for now try the towel and blanket but lay flat on your back to test it out. GL

Hi it could be because in that position the spine is not really straight. Maybe you can try:
- put some pillows below your knees, with legs higher the lower back pain may be reduced
- try to sleep on your side, in a semi fetal position

best of luck
