If you have pain in your back, it helps to lie on hard surfaces?

Not really: It doesn't help, from a healing standpoint, for you to lay on a hard vs soft surface if you have back pain. With your pain, you should just lie in the position and on a surface that's most comfortable for you. If your back pain is persisting, you should consider seeing your doctor to have it examined. Best wishes.
