The existence of $2\pi$-periodic positive solutions of the equation $u'' + u = \displaystyle{\frac{a(x)}{u^3}}$ is studied, where $a$ is a positive smooth $2\pi$-periodic function. Under some non-degenerate conditions on $a$, the existence of $2\pi$-periodic solutions to the equation is established.
