A firm mattress for curing back troubles is one of the largest misconceptions. Medium-firmness mattresses help men and women with back pain more regularly than the their firm counterparts, according to a Spanish study conducted in 2003. There was another study completed in 2008 that studied hard mattresses and Talalay latex mattresses and waterbeds. The result was increased back pains and tossing and turning nights for the people who used the firm mattress and not the latex foam mattresses.
