Back Pain

I have a Tempur-pedic type bed, but every morning I wake up with upper back pain! What can I do?

I have a bed that is not the Tempur-pedic brand, but it's made of the same material. Every morning I wake up with upper-back pain due to lack of support. Should I get a better bed? What brand would you recommend? A sleep-number? Yes, my pillow is rather flat.

1. I would change your pillow. It could be to high or too flat, causing your back to not be supported enough, and even up towards your neck. try a different pillow for a week, if that dosent help, then buy a new mattress. Serta is great.
2. I had this exact same problem and I found that it was because of my pillow. I would sleep with two pillows and it was causing me to be arched upwards while I slept, hence the reason for back pain. I suggest trying the Tempur-pedic brand pillow. It's the only one I sleep with now and it works great, plus it's much more comfortable.
