If you\u2019ve ever dealt with back pain, you know how much your sleep surface can impact your comfort and overall rest. The good news? The right lumbar support<\/a> can help alleviate discomfort and promote better sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lumbar support refers to anything that provides extra reinforcement to the lower back, where the lumbar spine is located. This support is essential in a mattress as it helps maintain proper spinal alignment and reduces strain while you sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
