Best Mattress for Back Pain in Sydney

Best in Beds delivers Australia's top-rated medium-firm pocket spring mattresses - the Morrison Mattress Factory range - free to every Sydney suburb with express next-business-day delivery, plus three Sydney and Illawarra showrooms where you can lie on every model before you buy. Designed in NSW by the Morrison family and clinically-aligned with the medium-firm support that research consistently recommends for lower back pain, our range gives back-pain sufferers a genuine alternative to online-only mattress-in-a-box brands.

If you wake up stiff, sore or aching - or you've been sleeping on the same mattress for more than 8 years - the right new mattress can change your sleep within 2-4 weeks. This page is the family team's straight, no-spin guide to choosing the best mattress for back pain in Sydney.

What the research says about mattresses and back pain

Medium-firm - not firm - is the right starting point for most back pain sufferers. A widely-cited 2015 systematic review in Sleep Health found medium-firm mattresses outperformed both firm and soft mattresses for lower back pain in the majority of clinical studies. The reason is simple: a firm mattress doesn't contour to your hips and shoulders, which leaves the lumbar spine unsupported and creates pressure points that wake you through the night.

The other key feature is zoned pocket spring support - firmer through the lumbar and softer at the shoulders and hips. CHOICE Australia and Bedbuyer both recommend zoned pocket springs over flat innerspring or pure foam for spinal alignment.

What firmness is right for your body?

The Morrison range, ranked for back pain

Every mattress below uses pocket spring construction - each spring works independently to contour to your body and isolate motion from your partner. Australian-designed by the Morrison family in NSW, sold exclusively at Best in Beds.
