Four yoga positions many people use for back relief.

Each of these four positions changes how the body's weight is supported, which may let the muscles of the lower back relax. Each one changes the relationship between the spine, the pelvis, the hips and the legs.

Yoga positions many people use for lower back relief
Back relief positions: legs on a chair, sitting on your knees, back against the wall, legs up the wall
01
Position One

Legs Resting on a Chair

Lie flat on your back with your calves resting on a chair, so your hips and knees are bent about 90 degrees.

  • The chair supports the weight of the lower legs.
  • Bending the hips and knees may reduce tension around the pelvis and lower spine.
  • The floor supports the back, letting the spinal muscles relax.
  • May reduce an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back in some people.
02
Position Two

Sitting on Your Knees

Sit back on your heels and keep your back upright.

  • Encourages awareness of spinal alignment.
  • Changes the position of the pelvis and the lower-back curve.
  • May reduce discomfort from sitting in one position for a long time.
  • Lets some people keep an upright torso without leaning forward.
NoteThis position does not necessarily reduce spinal loading, and it may be uncomfortable for people with knee, hip or lower-back problems.
03
Position Three

Back Against the Wall

Sit cross-legged with your back resting against a wall.

  • Reduces the muscular effort needed to stay upright.
  • Encourages awareness of back and shoulder alignment.
  • Lets the hips and pelvis settle into a supported position.
  • May reduce fatigue in the postural muscles.
TipA cushion under the pelvis may help, especially if hip flexibility is limited.
04
Position Four

Legs Up Against the Wall

Lie flat on your back with your legs extended straight up against a wall.

  • The floor supports the entire back while the wall supports the legs.
  • May relax the muscles around the hips and lower back.
  • Elevating the legs may ease tiredness or heaviness in the legs.
  • May reduce tension from long periods of standing or sitting.
AdjustMove your hips farther from the wall or bend your knees slightly to avoid excessive hamstring tension.
Support, position and pressure: how changing the angle of the back and legs affects the lower back
The Common Principle

Support, position and pressure.

Changing the angle of the back, hips, thighs and legs can change muscle tension, weight distribution and the pressure you feel in the lower back. That is exactly why electric adjustable beds, which raise the back and legs independently, matter so much: small changes in elevation can change comfort.

No single position suits everyone, and these positions do not necessarily decompress the spine or reduce pressure on every spinal structure.

Safety NoteThese positions are not suitable for every back condition. Avoid any position that worsens pain or causes tingling, numbness or symptoms radiating down the leg. New weakness, or any change in bowel or bladder control, needs urgent medical evaluation.

Every inch of elevation can make a difference in your comfort.

Adjusting the back and legs independently may help you find a more comfortable resting position. The mattress underneath is the other half of the story.

Introducing the Collection

Orthopedic Firm Mattresses. Three models. Four firmnesses. One right answer for your back.

Your back is not the same as anyone else's, so we never ask it to settle for one mattress. Every Orthopedic Firm Mattress is made of natural Talalay latex, quilted on both sides and zippered so it can be adjusted, and every one is offered in three heights and four firmnesses to help you find the right support for your back.

Model One

The Essential

7-inch profile

A slim, all-latex mattress with the easiest bed height to get in and out of. Its direct, responsive latex support makes it our favorite on electric adjustable beds and hi-lo hospital beds, where it flexes smoothly with every change in position.

The Signature

10-inch profile

Our most requested height. Three separate 3-inch layers of natural latex add cushioning over a supportive core, and because the layers are zippered inside, surface comfort and deeper support can be fine-tuned. It works beautifully on a platform, a foundation or an adjustable bed.

The Ultimate

12-inch profile
