DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- Most back sleepers are told to go firmer. It's common advice, and it's often wrong. A mattress that's too firm pushes the hips out of alignment. Too soft, and the body sinks past the point where the spine stays neutral. What actually works depends on body type, BMI, and how a person naturally settles in.

The updated page walks shoppers through the reasoning, with a Mattress Quiz available online and extended in-store testing at the Denver showroom for those who want to feel the difference before they buy.

"Seeing a customer go from chronic pain or restless nights to sleeping deeply and waking refreshed, that's why we do what we do," said Phil Lotterhos, Co-owner, Sleep Basil Mattress Co.

The updated back sleeper collection features mattresses across four categories, each curated by Phil and Josh personally, not a corporate buyer:

• Hybrid Mattresses coil-and-foam builds that offer structural support and pressure relief together; the most consistently reliable option for back sleepers across a wide range of body types
• Natural Latex Mattresses buoyant and responsive, latex pushes back against the body to maintain spinal alignment; also one of the most breathable options on the floor, making it a strong choice for back sleepers who sleep warm
• Mattresses for Back Pain and Post-Surgical Recovery options suited for chronic lower back pain, acid reflux, or recovery from surgery, including mattresses designed to work with an adjustable base
• Adjustable Bases (https://sleepbasil.com/collections/symphony-sle...) elevating the head and legs slightly takes real pressure off the lower back; the page links directly to Sleep Basil's adjustable base selection for shoppers who want to explore that option

All mattresses featured are CertiPUR-US certified. Most models are exclusive to Sleep Basil in Denver.
