Stiffness: firm, medium, or soft?

Firmness is one of the most important factors when choosing a mattress. But there's no one-size-fits-all answer: it depends on your weight, your sleeping position, and how you want to feel when you lie down.

Firm

A firm support offers maximum support and limits sinking. It is generally recommended for those who sleep predominantly on their back or stomach, for robust body types (over 90-100 kg), and for those seeking a very stable surface.

Medium

The medium level is the most versatile choice: it balances support and comfort, adapting well to those who frequently change position during the night or have no particular weight or posture requirements.

Soft

A softer mattress offers more cradling for the shoulders and hips. It is often preferred by side sleepers and lighter body types, who need controlled sinking to keep the spine aligned.

Frequently Asked Questions about Firmness

Is a firm mattress always better for back pain?+

No, not necessarily. Excessive firmness can increase pressure on the shoulders and pelvis. The correct choice depends on weight, posture, and personal sensitivity, not a universal rule.

What firmness should I choose if I sleep on my side?+

Side sleepers generally benefit from a medium or soft level, which allows the shoulder and hip to sink just enough without compressing the neck.

What firmness should I choose if I weigh over 100 kg?+

Robust body types tend to find more support in a firm or medium-firm level, capable of preventing excessive sinking in the pelvic area.

What happens if I choose the wrong firmness?+

A mattress that is too firm or too soft for your body can cause frequent awakenings, muscle tension, and incorrect sleeping posture. This is why we always recommend a consultation with our specialists before ordering.
