Yaar, mattress is important, agreed. But also think about your core strength and posture. Regular exercise, especially for your back and abs, helps a lot with pain. If the doctor gives a green signal, try some light stretching or yoga too.

Oh, back pain is so scary, right? I always worry about my posture and mattress. I've heard memory foam is good for support, but then some say it gets too hot. Coir can be too hard for some. It's so confusing! Hope you find something comfortable soon, take care of yourself.

Namaste. Many people find a good quality coir or a firm memory foam mattress helpful for back support. It's about spine alignment. Also, gentle stretches and pranayama in the morning can ease the back. Listen to your body and choose what feels right.

For back pain, firmness is key, but not too hard. A medium-firm orthopedic mattress usually works well. And make sure you're also watching your general health, like weight and blood pressure. Sometimes these things are all connected, so regular checkups are important.

My grandmother always said a firm bed is best for the back. We use a coir mattress at home and it's been good. But if your pain is really bad or long-lasting, please don't just rely on mattresses, see a good doctor for proper diagnosis.
