General information only
The content on Neutral Spine is general information for adults choosing a mattress. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace advice from a doctor, physiotherapist or other qualified clinician who knows your history.
No mattress treats a medical condition
A mattress can make sleep more comfortable and may reduce how much a sore back bothers you at night. No mattress on this site has been shown to treat a spinal condition, and we do not claim otherwise. Where a maker's listing makes medical or endorsement claims, we report them as the maker's and say when we could not verify them.
See a doctor first if
- Back pain follows a fall, accident or injury.
- You have numbness, tingling or weakness in a leg, or in both legs.
- You notice any change in bladder or bowel control, or numbness around the groin.
- You have fever, unexplained weight loss, a history of cancer, or pain that is worse at night regardless of position.
- Pain is severe, getting worse, or has lasted more than a few weeks without improvement.
If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
