Mattresses for sore backs

Some of my father's family have lower back problems. I have to be careful with mine, being careful about how I lift, and sitting with good lumbar support. I've done fairly well over recent months but sometimes I awaken with a moderately sore back and it improves over the morning. My current mattress is basically a large block of firm foam with a memory foam topper.

I wonder if I should get a different mattress. But, they are expensive things, and it is not obvious which ones might be a worthwhile improvement. I probably won't make any immediate changes while I ponder the matter.

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)

I watched Anatomy of a Murder (1959), a courtroom drama closely based on a true crime. It was originally received with great praise but, viewed with modern eyes, I would judge it to be slow-moving and rather conventional and unsurprising, often even hackneyed, except for how it somewhat uncomfortably shoehorns jazz music into the story.

Still, credit where it's due: The progress of the court case is rather more plausible than it could have been, explicit matters are handled surprisingly bluntly for a mainstream film of its time, I thought Lee Remick very well cast, and the moral situation isn't simple: ( mild spoilers )

. For its time I expect it did an effective job in helping to push the entertainment envelope in a worthwhile direction and, even competing with modern media serving more jaded, sophisticated tastes, it still kept me engaged.
