How soft is mattress: Many with low back pain have too soft mattress. Certainly abdominal obesity adds to stress on lower back and if present, back pain will be improved with weight loss and abdominal "core" strengthening. Try 1/2 sheet of 3/4in. Plywood between mattress and boxsprings to stiffen the area of the mattress between your upper thighs and head.
