Back health

Back pain: is an orthopaedic mattress the answer?

By The Africa FOAM team · August 2026 · 4 min read

Waking up with a sore back is common, and the mattress is often part of the story. A mattress that sags lets your spine curve all night; one that is too hard pushes on your shoulders and hips.

What makes a mattress orthopaedic

An orthopaedic mattress gives firm, even support across its whole surface, so your spine stays in its natural line whether you lie on your back or your side.

Who it is for

People with recurring back pain, people who do physical work all day, and anyone whose current mattress has started to hollow in the middle.

What it will not do

A mattress is not a medical treatment. If your pain is severe or lasts, see a doctor. But a good orthopaedic mattress removes one of the most common causes of a bad night.
