As someone who has been living with scoliosis and spondylosis for nearly a decade, I’ve tried countless mattresses to alleviate my back pain. After extensive research and testing, I’ve found the perfect mattress that provides the necessary support and comfort for a restful night’s sleep.
I’ve tried everything from mattress pads to knee pillows, and mattresses ranging from super soft foam to firm planks. Some worked, while others didn’t. I, along with another WIRED reviewer, slept on several mattresses for at least seven nights each, monitoring how they affected our back pain during the night and following morning.
The Tradition Estate mattress from Charles P. Rogers is our top pick for back pain sufferers. This 13-inch mattress features seven layers of gel, foam, and springs, with an Oeko-Tex-certified quilted top and foam edge support. The spring layer, called Powercore, provides targeted support with individually moving coils.
Key Features:
* 13-inch thickness with seven layers of gel, foam, and springs
* Oeko-Tex-certified quilted top and foam edge support
* Powercore spring layer with individually moving coils
* Gentle firmness level (7.5/10)
* 100-day return and exchange policy
* 5/15-year warranty
This mattress provided the perfect balance of support and comfort for my back pain. The firm base and soft top layers worked together to alleviate my pressure pain, and I woke up without any aches. My husband, a back sleeper, also loved this mattress, making it a great middle ground for our different needs.
