We are not medical experts and anyone with back or skeletal problems should consult their GP or Specialist before buying a new mattress.
Always go to a good retailer and lie on a selection of beds to compare comfort and support. Only you can judge what is right for you.
Look for a combination of firm core support to hold your spine in correct alignment, with plenty of top layers creating a nice, soft sleeping surface.
Pay attention also to choosing the correct pillow, which must support the neck in alignment with the rest of the spine. Too many pillows thrust the head forward or sideways (depending on your sleeping position); too few allow the head to tip backwards: both create a crick in the neck.
