The facts
Lower-back pain is a lumbar problem, not a pillow-top problem.
Hips sagging overnight means the midsection is too soft. We tag zoned coils and luxury-firm foams so you are not guessing from a lifestyle photo.

Every mattress below is tagged for a specific failure mode — hips sagging, heat, a partner who tosses, a build that crushes cheap foam. Open the product for layer-by-layer construction and weight guidance.
