Lower back pain after floor sleeping for about 3 months
Hello fellow floor-sleepers!
I started floor sleeping about 3 months ago for several reasons (price, space, health). I have had some upper back and shoulder problems for over a year, and I am a tall, skinny guy with bad posture, so I was hoping that floor sleeping would improve my posture and provide some relief for my upper back.
I bought the Zonli Wheat Dream 4 inch (cheap), and immediately felt very comfortable on it. However, over the past few months I have been plagued with lower back issues. I will seemingly randomly throw out my lower back, and have to deal with extreme stiffness and sciatic pain for weeks as I wait for it to go back to normal. One time it happened from carrying groceries. Most recently, from playing pickleball.
I am surprised at this, as I thought that sleeping on a mattress like this would be better for my back. I also practice yoga daily, so I am surprised that I am continually facing this issue.
Has anyone here had similar problems from floor-sleeping, or do I need to look elsewhere for the source of my issues? Thanks for taking the time to read and respond!
