Why do memory foam beds make lumbar back problems worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be one of : several reasons. You could be a stomach sleeper which is generally not a good position for someone with a back problem. The memory foam may not allow to easily change positions during your sleep. The memory foam may not offer enough firmness for your back to be supported.
