How do you know which mattress firmness is best for you?

You have to find the right balance between comfort and support. Too soft of a mattress will cause your body to sink in too much, putting pressure on your joints and spine. On the other hand, if you choose a mattress that’s too hard, it can lead to pain when lying down or getting up from bed.

This guide will help you figure out which firmness of a mattress is right for you. So that you can get the sleep quality that suits your needs.

What's the best way to find the right mattress firmness?

The best way to find what mattress firmness is right for you is to sleep on a different mattress for a while. Go to the local store and see what mattresses they have. Try them out until you find one that feels good.

To start, we recommend trying:

• soft mattress if you like sinking into your bed when laying down
• medium mattress if you are sensitive about pressure points but want more support than a soft mattress provides
• hard mattress if you don’t mind feeling a little uncomfortable when lying down because it is better suited for back pain relief

Don’t forget to write down which mattresses you like so when you come back, and you will be able to compare them.

What are the different mattress firmness?

A mattress’s firmness level is generally classified as soft, medium-firm, or hard.

Every mattress company has their own firmness level. Some will be more soft or hard, but there are some general ideas that you can follow to find the right one for you.

• Memory foam mattresses have different levels of soft to hard
• Some innerspring mattresses come with additional coils for firmer support or material layers on the top and bottom for softer comfort
• Latex is usually very squishy and responsive to pressure

What mattress firmness should I choose?

After you have tried out a few mattresses, you may have a better idea of what mattress firmness you prefer.

One of the best ways to find the right mattress firmness is by examining your body weight and type. If you have a small frame, it may be best for you to choose a soft mattress. Your body will be more supported, and there will not be as much pressure on your spine. A medium-firm mattress is recommended for people who sleep on their side or stomach. It can help relief with back and shoulder pain.

If you have a large frame, then it is best to choose a firmer mattress. This will make your bed more stable and less likely to move around.

The bottom line

The right mattress firmness can support your spine better, but it does not cure chronic back pain.

If you choose the wrong mattress types, you may feel uncomfortable and even experience pains. You can choose from a soft, medium or hard mattress. It will depend on your personal preference.
