That’s a crucial question, as your sleeping position is the single most important factor in determining the right mattress firmness for spinal health and pressure relief!
The goal is to choose a firmness that keeps your spine in a straight, neutral line while you sleep.
A mattress that is too soft for your position will cause your spine to sag, leading to aches. A mattress that is too firm will put excessive pressure on your joints (especially your hips and shoulders), leading to discomfort.
If you are a side or combination sleeper, we recommend Soft-Medium mattresses as you need cushioning for your shoulders and hips (your main pressure points) to prevent painful pressure build-up and keep your spine straight.
If you are a stomach or back sleeper, we recommend firmer mattresses as you need maximum support to keep your midsection elevated and prevent your spine from arching or sagging, which can lead to back pain.
To pinpoint the perfect firmness for your specific body type and sleep position, we strongly recommend you take our quick Mattress Quiz on our website! Alternatively, you can always give us a call and speak to our sales team for personalised guidance.
