Sleeping with neck pain can be exasperating, so finding a mattress to alleviate pressure points and support healthy spinal alignment may provide relief. Latex mattresses offer excellent pressure relief through moderate contouring and reduced sinkage.
The EcoCloud mattress features natural and hypoallergenic Talalay latex combined with recycled steel coils, organic cotton and New Zealand wool for maximum comfort and sustainability. Furthermore, its highest certification status provides evidence of non-toxic materials.
1. Birch by Helix
This mattress is an excellent option for back and stomach sleepers alike, providing them with the support needed to ease pressure off of their spines. Boasting thick knit cover fabric, all-natural Talalay latex, individually wrapped coils, and firmness comparable to more standard mattresses – Helix offers an add-on pillow top that adds an even plusher experience, making this choice more suitable for side sleepers with lower back discomfort.
This all-natural mattress contains layers of organic cotton, natural wool and natural rubber latex for an all-natural experience. These materials make this mattress hypoallergenic and breathable; ideal for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Helix mattresses feature lifetime warranties. Furthermore, its all-natural material composition and hybrid design help keep it cool during sleep for those living with back pain.
Natural latex mattresses are durable, lasting longer than conventional coil-based ones and typically costing more than their conventional counterparts – although premium all-natural latex models might cost more. Still, natural latex mattresses offer many advantages for those suffering from back pain than their conventional counterparts.
The Helix Birch Natural mattress is an all-natural option perfect for back and stomach sleepers with back pain. Rated at 7/10 on the firmness scale, its medium firmness should meet most backache sufferers’ needs while its solid construction and durable materials also make it suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
Helix mattresses have proven highly popular, and this all-natural latex mattress is no different. Offering multiple sizes and firmness levels to meet the needs of all sleepers.
Natural latex mattresses should be remembered that they can be quite heavy, making moving it from room to room difficult and more costly than standard mattresses, which may not fit within everyone’s budget.
2. PlushBeds Botanical Bliss
The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress provides a fully personalized sleep experience with its adjustable firmness levels and mattress height options, ideal for back sleepers who experience hip or shoulder pain due to the latex construction providing pressure relief while supporting spinal alignment. Furthermore, this mattress provides excellent motion isolation properties to minimize disturbances between partners sharing the bed.
This mattress does not contain synthetic foams or adhesives, eliminating chemical off-gassing issues. When first opening it up you might notice a mild rubbery scent from natural materials; these should fade over time. Furthermore, this GREENGUARD Gold certified product made in the US contains both organic cotton and wool grown without pesticides or chemicals to make for an excellent rest experience.
Botanical Bliss uses not only organic cotton and wool, but also a layer of cooling pinholes, designed to keep your body cool during the night. This feature can especially benefit back sleepers who tend to become hot when sleeping on hard surfaces. In addition, its soft yet breathable organic cotton cover features circular stitching for gentle pressure relief while its organic New Zealand wool layer naturally regulates body temperature while helping prevent moisture build-up that could otherwise result in clammy sensations.
You can use this mattress with a box spring, platform base, slats no more than 4 inches apart or wood framed bed. Additionally, most memory foam and traditional pillows with zipper closures and no metal coils inside will also work with this mattress.
Botanical Bliss mattress may be ideal for back and hip sleepers suffering from joint and muscle discomfort, but is less suitable for stomach sleepers due to not offering sufficient support in the lumbar area, exacerbating their discomfort. If this describes you, consider one of Avocado Green or Saatva Latex Hybrid’s innerspring mattresses which offer more appropriate innerspring support suited specifically for this back type.
3. Saatva Latex Hybrid
Saatva Mattress Company is an award-winning direct-to-consumer business known for their superior mattresses made with sustainable materials. Their free white glove delivery and customer service make the Saatva brand even more enticing, plus their Latex Hybrid is available in Queen and Split King sizes at $1,849. This mattress stands 13″ thick and is constructed with 5 layers of natural and organic materials, including pocketed coils individually wrapped and zoned in its support core. This mattress provides ample push back in the center while its edges cradle the sleeper. A natural Eco Loft pad reinforces coils for additional strength and stability before Talalay latex offers responsive foam feel, contouring to your body for additional support.
The final layer is made up of GOTS-certified organic New Zealand wool which not only wicks away moisture and regulates temperature but is naturally flame retardant as well as adding extra warmth. A cotton and wool base helps hold together these layers, and the bed is then hand-tufting rather than glue for longer-term shape retention.
Customers have reported that the Latex Hybrid Mattress offers a medium-firm feel and provides equal support to back, stomach and side sleepers. While this mattress may be ideal for those suffering back pain, heavier individuals may require firmer support levels. Furthermore, latex offers bounce and responsiveness without conforming as much to body contours like other memory foam or pillow top mattresses do.
Some reviewers have been critical of this mattress due to its inability to fully deaden motion transfer. Although this will likely not be a concern for most individuals, those sharing their bed with an active partner could find this to be problematic. If this is something that bothers you, try pairing your Latex Hybrid mattress with a mattress protector to minimize it further; plus the 365 night trial period gives an excellent opportunity to assess its performance!
4. Saatva Zenhaven
Saatva offers the Zenhaven latex flippable mattress as part of their eco-conscious line-up of latex flippable mattresses with luxury features and firmness options, including its Classic innerspring hybrid offering soft pillow top and three firmness options, while its mid-price range mattress offering includes dual sided construction featuring distinct comfort options like dual-sided construction with unique Zenhaven.
This mattress uses organic cotton and New Zealand wool, providing sleepers with an airy, breathable cover that regulates their body temperature while offering a luxuriously soft sleeping surface. A nontoxic botanical antimicrobial treatment prevents build-up of odors and microbes in bed.
Natural Talalay latex forms the support core of any mattress, offering durable support with good push-back for spinal alignment. Engineered using an innovative process, this layer has different densities within its pinholes produced during manufacturing to create the optimal level of push-back during use.
This combination of densities is perfect for back, side and stomach sleepers of all sizes as it cradles hips while offering ample support to the back and lumbar area. Heavy people should find ample comfort from sleeping on its Gentle Firm side which should help prevent hips from sinking too far into the mattress.
Side sleepers will appreciate how the Luxury Plush side of their mattress will cushion their shoulders and hips without applying too much pressure; for stomach sleepers however, this mattress may not offer sufficient support to maintain an aligned spine.
Overall, the Zenhaven mattress is an outstanding option for back, stomach and combo sleepers of all weights and sizes. However, please keep in mind that it may require longer for its full potential to emerge than with some other brands.
Saatva mattresses boast generous warranties and free White Glove delivery and old mattress removal services, making it even more appealing for prospective buyers. Furthermore, Saatva’s sleep trials and lifetime guarantee allow prospective buyers to test out the bed for several weeks before making a decision about whether it fits into their life; should they decide it doesn’t, Saatva donates your mattress directly to a veteran shelter or employee use and refunds your money – should that prove unsuccessful!
