Looking to change my mattress because of lower back pain created by stenosis?
I am looking for advice from those who have suffered lower back pain and changed mattresses. I have heard conflicting stories as what really works. What was your experience? Thanks.
Most people in the world should be sleeping on a firm. This prevents displacement of the nucelus of the vertebral discs (prevents bulging and herniated discs)…especially for back and side sleepers. For people who have stenosis, however, pain is not being caused by the disc, but because there is a narrowing in the canal in which the spinal cord sits. This canal gets tighter with more erect postures, and is “looser” when the spine is accomodated to a flexed posture. Therefore, a matress that accommodates this position and does not try to force the spine straight will usually give you more relief. Therefore, a softer matress or a firm matress with a good pillow top may be more ideal as opposed to a firm one.
