Are all mattresses causing calamities?

Recently, Uncle Zhang, 60, read and brushed his mobile phone on the sofa for a long time, causing lumbar disc herniation. Uncle Zhang, who suffered from backache and back pain, believed that the "soft bed" in the bedroom caused him to get sick. So he asked his family to remove the spring mattress and spread a thin layer of blanket on the bed. Uncle Zhang fell asleep on the bed for a night, but found that his waist was even more painful the next day, so he hurried to the hospital for treatment.

"Cann't sleep hard beds relieve back pain? Why is it more and more painful?" Uncle Zhang raised his question to the doctor.
