Brief Answer:
Semi hard mattress

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

For back pains, it is better to get a semihard or orthopedic mattress.

Best way to check is to lie down on the mattress for sometime and see if it takes the contour of your spine and is little bit hard (not too hard). Second thing to check is that on lying on that mattress your back should not hurt.

Hope it helps.
