Discover Your Perfect Mattress Feel: Find Your Ideal Comfort!
We have 5 different mattress feels and the benefits of each one:
Soft: Plush and contouring, it sinks deeply when you lie down.
Benefits: Best for side sleepers and people who like to feel cradled; offers great pressure relief for hips and shoulders.
Soft to Medium Feel: Slightly firm but still plush, with moderate contouring.
Benefits: Good for side and combination sleepers; offers comfort with a bit more support than a soft mattress.
Medium Feel: Balanced feel between plushness and support.
Benefits: Suitable for all sleep positions (side, back, and stomach); offers a mix of pressure relief and support for most sleepers.
Medium to Firm Feel: Firmer but still provides some softness on top.
Benefits: Great for back and stomach sleepers; offers more support while still giving some contouring.
Firm Feel: Very firm with minimal give or sink.
Benefits: Ideal for stomach and back sleepers or heavier individuals; provides solid support for spine alignment without much cushioning.
Choosing the right firmness often depends on your sleeping position, body weight, and comfort preference.
Types of Mattresses and Their Benefits
Memory Foam:
Material: Viscoelastic foam that molds to the body.
Benefits: Excellent contouring and pressure relief, great for side sleepers and those with joint pain. It absorbs motion well, reducing disturbance from a partner.
Pocket Spring:
Material: Individual springs encased in fabric pockets.
Benefits: Offers targeted support by responding independently to your body’s movements. Ideal for couples, as it reduces motion transfer. Good airflow and support.
Orthopaedic:
Material: Can be made from various materials (memory foam, springs, etc.), designed for firm support.
Benefits: Designed to support spine alignment and relieve back pain. Great for back sleepers or people with posture issues.
Spring (Open Coil/Innerspring):
Material: Continuous or connected metal coils.
Benefits: Affordable with a firmer, bouncy feel. Good for airflow but can transfer motion between partners more than pocket springs.
Latex:
Material: Made from natural or synthetic latex.
Benefits: Durable, naturally hypoallergenic, and offers firm, responsive support with a bit of bounce. Ideal for those wanting a cooler sleep, as it’s breathable and doesn’t trap heat.
Natural Fillings:
Material: Uses materials like wool, cotton, or silk.
Benefits: Eco-friendly and highly breathable, offering a cool sleep. Often paired with other mattress types (like springs) for added comfort and support.
Foam:
Material: Can include polyurethane foam or similar materials.
Benefits: Provides support and cushioning with a range of firmness options. Not as contouring as memory foam but can be lightweight and affordable.
Each type has unique characteristics that cater to different sleeping preferences, comfort needs, and budget levels.
