TL;DR:
There isn’t one “best” mattress for back pain, hip pain, or shoulder pain — because every body is different. At Austin Premier Mattress, what sets us apart is our fitting process. We don’t guess, and we don’t push the latest sale model. Instead, we match you to the mattress that fits your body, relieves your pressure points, and supports your posture — so you finally wake up without pain.
Why Back Pain Gets Worse Overnight
Lower back pain is the #1 reason Austinites shop for a new mattress. But it’s not always just about the back — for many side sleepers, hip and shoulder pain show up too. The cause? A mattress that doesn’t match your body.
-
Too firm? It pushes into your hips and shoulders, cutting off circulation.
-
Too soft? Your hips sink lower than your shoulders, throwing your spine out of alignment.
-
Just right for your body? Pressure melts away, circulation flows, and your spine stays in a healthy curve all night.
The key isn’t picking the “firmest” or “most expensive” mattress — it’s finding the one that actually fits your unique build, sleep style, and posture.
Why “Every Body is Different” Matters
At Austin Premier Mattress, we believe: the right mattress is the one that matches you.
-
A tall side sleeper may need more pressure relief at the shoulders.
-
A shorter back sleeper may need extra lumbar support.
-
A couple with different builds may need a split or adjustable option to keep both partners comfortable.
That’s why we never recommend a mattress until we walk you through our fitting process.

Mattress Types That Often Work Best

Natural Latex Mattresses – Naturally supportive + breathable. Great balance of posture and joint relief, especially for hot Austin summers.

Hybrid Mattresses – Coils for spine alignment, comfort layers for hip/shoulder cushioning. Ideal for back and side sleepers.

FAQs We Hear Every Day
Q: Is there one mattress that works for everyone with back pain?
No. Every body is different. What works for your neighbor may make your pain worse. That’s why the fitting process matters.
Q: Should I get the firmest mattress for back pain?
Not always. Too firm creates pressure on your joints. Too soft lets your hips sag. The best choice depends on your body shape and sleep position.
Q: How long does a proper fitting take?
Usually 20–30 minutes in our showroom. It’s fast, but it makes a lifetime of difference in how you sleep.
