Check the mattress: A common cause for back pain upon awakening is a mattress that is too soft and not supportive of your spine. A firm mattress (or placing a large piece of plywood between the mattress and box spring) may help. If back pain persists or worsens, be sure to check with your doctor to rule out the many other causes of back pain.

Old mattress: There are a lot of possibilities but one of the most common is a old mattress. If your mattress is over eight to ten years, it may be time to get a new one.
