Best Mattresses for Herniated Discs: Targeted Relief & Spinal Support

Discover pressure-relieving, spine-aligning mattresses designed to minimize disc pain and promote healing.

Why Choose a Mattress for Herniated Discs?

Herniated discs cause sharp, radiating pain by pressing on spinal nerves. The right mattress helps keep your spine neutral while alleviating pressure on sensitive areas. As Dr. Jordan Burns notes, "Research has shown that firmer mattresses, like the Amerisleep AS2, provide pressure-relief support to help reduce pain and keep your spine in a neutral alignment."

A herniated disc (sometimes called a "slipped" or "bulging" disc) occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher exterior, often irritating nearby nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and reduced mobility.

A high-quality mattress with strong support and targeted pressure relief can:

  • Evenly distribute body weight
  • Maintain spinal neutrality
  • Reduce discomfort so you can sleep soundly

Studies show medium-firm mattresses frequently help individuals with back issues sleep better and experience less pain. According to our customer data, 85.4% of sleepers report reduced back pain and improved morning mobility after switching to an Amerisleep mattress. Our specialized models start at $799 with promotions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I sleep with a herniated disc?

Back sleeping is typically recommended. Place a small pillow under your knees to minimize lumbar pressure. If side sleeping, add a pillow between your knees and consider a mattress with extra shoulder/hip relief (e.g., AS3 or AS4).

Is memory foam good for herniated discs?

Yes. Our Bio-Pur® foam adapts to your contours, relieving pressure points and supporting the spine without heat buildup.

Does firmness matter for herniated discs?

Absolutely. Medium-firm (like AS2) often provides the best blend of support and cushion for many disc issues, though personal factors (weight, sleeping style) matter.

What if I'm a stomach sleeper with a herniated disc?

Stomach sleeping usually aggravates disc pain by increasing spinal strain. If you must, choose a firmer mattress (AS2) and put a thin pillow beneath your hips to reduce lower back stress.

Will an adjustable bed help?

Yes. Elevating legs or head can lessen spinal compression. Dr. Jordan Burns calls it "a great option for alleviating back pain."

What about White Glove Delivery?

For those with back issues, setting up a mattress can be tough. Contact our customer service team about delivery/setup options in your area.

Is a hybrid model worth it for herniated discs?

Heavier sleepers or those seeking extra bounce may prefer hybrids (AS3 Hybrid, Organica). Coils add targeted support and airflow while preserving motion isolation.

How long is Amerisleep's sleep trial?

100 nights. We recommend a 30-day break-in period. We also stand by a 20-year warranty—10 years full replacement, then prorated coverage.

What to do with my old mattress?

Many charities accept donations, or check local recycling. We offer removal services in some areas. Learn more about mattress recycling.

Do you have any showrooms?

Yes, we have a showroom located in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Optima Camelview. We encourage in-person testing and 1:1 guidance.
