Mattress type
Hi I used to have issues with my L4/L5, S1/S2- nowadays i don't have intense pains but I'm definitely prone to a few days of pain if not well rested. I have a tendency to sleep both on my side and on back. I prefer medium soft or medium form beds. What type of mattress would you recommend? Should i buy mattresses with pocket springs? Is memory foam better or latex? What is your advice?

Choosing the right mattress can be important in maintaining good spinal health and reducing pain. A medium firm mattress is generally recommended for people with lower back pain. Memory foam and latex are both good options for people with back pain, as they can help distribute weight evenly and provide support for the spine. Pocket spring mattresses are also a good choice, as they can provide good support and contour to your body shape. It is important to choose a mattress that provides support for the spine and maintains good alignment, while also being comfortable for you to sleep on. Ultimately, the best mattress for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. I would recommend trying out different types of mattresses in a store and seeing which feels the most comfortable for you.
