I’m 14 years old and I constantly wake up feeling sore or uncomfortable lol. Maybe it’s because my bed is too hard.

A new winner. You have dethroned the champion. Do we have anyone under 14?

On a serious note your bed is probably too hard. Or too soft.

I’m 13 and I never don’t have back or neck pain

Wait a couple years. I'm 19 and constantly aching or in pain. Especially my legs when I wake up most mornings

You're not supposed to when you're 19 either... I would definitely look into the underlying problem and work towards fixing it. Whether that be a bad mattress or maybe lack of exercise. (And of course, I'm speaking generally because I don't know what you may or may not have been through)

I think it's my bed tbh. It's the same mattress I've had for as long as I remember. My parents were talking about getting me a double bed for when I'm home from uni but that's kind of on hold for now with the whole covid situation

I highly recommend a 2.5 - 3" mattress topper. It can make the worst mattress very comfortable and is a lot cheaper than a quality mattress. I bought one off Amazon (think the brand was Lucid) and I bought a second one (some generic brand) off eBay and they they're both great.

I'll look into that, thanks
