Why the Right Mattress Is Critical for Back Pain
A mattress that's too soft allows your spine to sink out of alignment. Too firm, and it creates pressure points at the hips and shoulders. Our orthopaedic hybrid mattresses strike the precise balance — individually wrapped pocket springs provide targeted support zone by zone, while the comfort layer cushions pressure points without compromising spinal alignment. For a full breakdown of how hybrid mattresses work and their benefits, see our Hybrid Mattress Guide UK (2026).
