What is the proper lying position?

· Find the mattress that is right for you. While a firm mattress is

generally recommended, some people find that softer mattresses

reduce their back pain. Your comfort is important.

· Sleep with a pillow. Special pillows are available to help with postural

problems resulting from a poor sleeping position.

· Avoid sleeping on your stomach.

· Sleeping on your side or back is more often helpful for back pain. If

you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your legs. If you

sleep on your back, keep a pillow under your knees.
