Waking up with a stiff neck can ruin your whole day. If you’re struggling with neck pain, your mattress might be part of the problem. The right mattress can ease pressure on sensitive areas, support your spine, and help you sleep more soundly.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to choose the best mattress for neck pain, based on expert advice and real sleep science.
Neck pain is often caused by:
No matter the cause, if your mattress isn’t providing the right support, it can make the pain worse. A good mattress can:
Firmness is key. A mattress that's too soft may let your head or shoulders sink too much, throwing your neck out of alignment. But too firm, and you’ll miss out on comfort and pressure relief.

Orthopaedic mattresses are designed to support the spine and relieve pressure from your back and neck.
Why it's a great choice:
Pocket sprung mattresses feature individual springs that react independently to your body’s shape and movement.
Top benefits:

Yes. If your mattress doesn’t keep your spine aligned or puts too much pressure on your neck and shoulders, it can lead to pain and stiffness.

If you’re dealing with neck pain, don’t underestimate the power of a supportive, pressure-relieving mattress. A hybrid or orthopaedic model can be a game-changer for your sleep quality and recovery.
