I had to stay at my parents' place for a few months where the bed has a soft mattress and I downgraded to the floor after a month because my back started hurting really bad. It took more than two weeks of back excercises and sleeping on the floor to fix that.

Sleeping on the floor can be great for fixing back issues. A good part of the world sleeps on the floor even today (with matting/blankets/etc).
"Sleeping on the floor can be great for fixing back issues."
I can vouch for this. I've recently started sleeping on the floor, and at first my back hurt some, but after a couple of days I got used to it and now it's feeling so much better. I have really poor posture and constantly slouch when I'm sitting in my chair, and so usually have back issues. Sleeping on the floor has worked wonders.
Even when I'm not sleeping on the floor, I prefer firm mattresses, as soft ones are horrible for my back.

Btw the softness can also come from a bad slatted bad base. If you just put the mattress on the floor, or use a hard board as bed base you can hava a similar "hard" experience, while still having a soft surface.
