Pat, I have the same problem! I thought I just needed a new mattress. I have an old back injury but noticed the last two months (since using my CPAP) that my back is much worse in the morning than it used to be. I think Joe has the right answer because I used to toss and turn a lot at night and now I sleep in one position for most of the night.

I really find it interesting that my apnea is worse when I sleep on my back and my back is worse when I sleep on my back so why do I always end of there????
My chiropracter says it's better to sleep on your back than on your side. Wasn't an option for me until now.

Thanks for the info and for saving me the price of a new matress.

Marty
