MemberI’m thinking about picking up the Back Restore but my bed is pretty soft. Anyone try it on a mattress or does it have to be on a hard surface to work right?

Mike ReynoldsMemberI tried mine on a soft mattress and it just sank in too much, felt useless. Floor works way better for me, keeps the pressure where it’s supposed to be.

Mike RunnerMemberI’d just try it on the floor if I were you. Most of these things need a solid surface to actually push back against your back, otherwise you’re just sinking into the mattress and losing the pressure.

MemberI think it depends on what you’re after. I’ve used mine on a softer surface and it was okay, but not as crisp as on something firm.

Tom in NYCMemberFloor works best if you want the traction to actually do something. On a soft mattress it just sinks in and you don’t get the same stretch.

MemberI’m kind of in the same boat, my mattress is pretty plush and I wonder if the heat and vibration would still feel good even if the traction part doesn’t work as well. I guess it depends if you care more about the stretch or just the relaxation part.

HanSoloParticipantI have a soft mattress too and I just use it on the floor when I want the real stretch. The heat and vibration still feel okay on the bed but the traction part is pretty much lost.

Emma ReadsMemberI guess it depends how soft your mattress is. Mine’s medium firm and it works fine for me, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

Luis_A91MemberI’d still try it on the bed first if you already have one. The heat and vibration part works fine on softer surfaces, it’s really just the stretch that might feel a bit less intense. I think you’d probably still get something out of it unless your mattress is super saggy.

Lisa BassMemberI’d say try it on the bed first and see how it feels. Even if the stretch isn’t as strong, the heat and vibration alone might be worth it for relaxing before sleep.

Nina_gadgetMemberI don’t know, I feel like if you’re not getting the traction part, you’re kind of missing the whole point of it.

MemberI’d say you’re probably overthinking it a bit. Even if the stretch isn’t as intense on a soft bed, the heat and vibration alone are pretty solid for loosening things up.

MemberHuh, I actually never thought about that. I just assumed you’d use it on the floor since it’s supposed to stretch you out. But I guess if the mattress is soft enough it would just sink in and you wouldn’t get the same pull.

MemberI’d probably just try it on the bed honestly. The heat and vibration part still works fine on softer surfaces, so if that’s what you’re mainly after you won’t miss much.

Dani MoonMemberIt’s fine on a mattress. The heat and vibration work fine. The stretch part is weaker but honestly I never felt like the traction was the main selling point anyway.

MemberI don’t really think it needs to be on the floor. I’ve used mine on a softer mattress before and it still felt like it was doing something. Might not be as intense but still works for me.

MemberI’ve used mine on a soft mattress a few times and it still felt decent. The heat and vibration come through fine, so it’s not like it’s useless or anything. Probably depends on what you want out of it, but I wouldn’t stress over it too much.

MemberI keep meaning to ask this myself actually, since my mattress is on the firmer side but still not floor level. I feel like the traction part is the whole point though, so if the surface gives too much it probably just turns into a heated massager instead of a decompression session.
