The art of choosing a mattress by firmness

The art of choosing a mattress by firmness

Choosing the right mattress is a key step towards comfortable, restorative sleep. One of the most important things to weigh up is firmness. In this article we walk you through the different firmness levels and show you how to work out which one fits your own needs.

Which mattress firmness is best: an important choice for healthy sleep

The firmness of an orthopedic mattress plays a decisive role in keeping the body properly aligned while you sleep. The orthopedic models at the Mir Matrasov store are designed around the anatomy of the spine. They distribute pressure evenly and hold the natural curves of the spine in a neutral position. That matters enormously for preventing back pain and for deep, healthy sleep.

How to determine the firmness you need: practical advice

Firmness is a personal matter and depends on your preferences and your build. So which firmness should you go for? 

If you like sleeping on a softer surface, look at mattresses with a low firmness rating. But if you have back trouble, or simply prefer firmer support, a medium or firm orthopedic mattress may be the ideal answer.

Different firmness levels for different needs

Keep in mind that people differ in what they find comfortable. Side sleepers often prefer softer mattresses that take pressure off the shoulders and hips, while back sleepers tend to choose medium or firm models for optimal spinal support. All of this feeds into the answer to the question of which firmness will give you healthy sleep. 

A few tips for choosing firmness:

  1. Take your own specific needs and firmness preferences into account.
  2. If you have back problems, take a close look at orthopedic mattresses.
  3. Try out different firmness levels and talk it over with an expert.
  4. Factor in the position you sleep in.
