A member asked:
Is it possible to alleviate back pain if we use memory foam mattress?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: While there is no such thing as one best mattress for everyone or the perfect mattress for a person with back pain, sometimes changing the mattress can help particularly if it is over 10 years old. For anyone with back pain that does not get better, I do recommend seeing a doctor to make sure there is nothing serious going on.The vast majority of back pain syndromes are benign, some can be serious.
