Summary

The primary study objective is to determine whether mattress firmness affects pain in patients with chronic low-back pain. We hypothesize that mattresses that differ in their firmness and support should have a varying effect on low-back pain patients' level of pain and pain-related disability. We also seek to test the hypothesis that the optimal mattress might vary from person to person.

In this regard, we will test:

1. Whether there is a single mattress that is superior to the others in terms of reducing low-back pain and pain related disability.
2. Whether the optimal mattress for reducing pain varies in the observed population.
