Yeah you probably learned to handle your posture and back better as you grew older. I think it's something we all go through as we approach our 30s, when we realize we can't sleep on a bed that makes our spine curve like a cheeto anymore.
For sciatic pain, which I have, a firm mattress is recommended, to keep your spine as stabilized as possible. For muscular and ligament problems... I guess it depends on you body, muscle structure etc. It's very subjective from my knowledge. Before I got sciatica, I loved softer beds, but now I can't sleep in them at all. Sometimes I even just lie down on the floor to get as stiff as hard a surface as possible, but I always move to my bed after a few hours of that as I wake up from the discomfort.

Curiously enough, for me it got better. In m late twenties I got excruciating back pain, like the one described.
It all went away. Though getting a better bed and chair probably helped.
Closing on 60, but no back problems whatsoever safe the one time where I had a really nasty fall.
