The bed you have can definitely make a difference - since you have pectus excavatum, it's likely your posture isn't neutral to begin with, so if you have a bed that is on the softer side (not supportive of your natural spinal curvatures), it can reinforce (and even exacerbate) bad postures that you had to begin with.

Bad posture can lead to muscle aches and strains, and worse yet, a pinched nerve (which can cause the sharp pain you experience).

However, I think it's a good idea to see a doctor to screen for more serious medical conditions (heart conditions, malignancy, etc). Anything to do with sharp pains in the chest area should not be taken lightly.
