Kovacs, F. M. et al.: Effect of firmness of mattress on chronic non-specific low-back pain: randomised, double-blind, controlled, multicentre trial. I: The Lancet, 2003(362(15)), s. 1599-1604.Language: Engelsk

Summary: A firm mattress is commonly believed to be beneficial for low-back pain, although evidence supporting this recommendation is lacking. 313 adults who had chronic non-specific low-back pain, but no referred pain, who complained of backache while lying in bed and on rising participated in a randomised, double-blind, controlled, multicentre trial. Conclusion: A mattress of medium firmness improves pain and disability among patients with chronic non-specific low-back pain.
