How Firm Should My Mattress Be?

The ideal firmness of your mattress depends on various personal factors, including your sleeping position and body weight preferences.

Sleeping Position 

Side sleepers often prefer a softer mattress that can conform to their hips and shoulders for proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers may benefit from a medium to firm mattress that supports the spine's natural curvature. Stomach sleepers usually need a firmer mattress to keep the body properly supported and prevent the lower back from sinking too far into the bed.

Body Weight 

Heavier individuals often need a firmer mattress to prevent them from sinking too far into the material, which can lead to misalignment and discomfort. Conversely, lighter individuals may prefer a softer mattress, as a firm mattress might not compress much under their weight, leading to pressure points.


It's important to invest in a mattress that suits your specific needs, as good sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being.

How Can I Tell if My Mattress Is Too Soft or Firm?

Recognising whether a mattress is too soft or too firm involves paying attention to your body's comfort and any potential discomfort or pain. Here are some signs that might indicate your mattress's firmness isn't quite right for you:


Your mattress is too soft if:


  • You're sinking into the mattress too deeply. This can sometimes make it difficult to move or get out of bed.

  • You're experiencing lower back pain, hip pain, or shoulder pain

  • You're waking up feeling hot and sweaty. This phenomenon occurs due to the increased absorption of body heat by soft mattresses.  

 

Your mattress is too firm if:


  • You feel like you're sleeping on top of the mattress rather than in it. 

  • It could cause pressure points on your body leading to numbness or tingling in your limbs when you wake up.

  • You wake up with shoulder or hip pain. On an overly firm mattress, your body's curves may not be properly supported, leading to misalignment and discomfort.

What Are The Benefits of Using a Firm Mattress?

Firm mattresses can significantly aid in improving spinal alignment by providing uniform support across the body's surfaces, ensuring that no specific area sinks more deeply into the mattress than others.


When you lie on a firm mattress, it provides resistance to your body weight, helping to keep your spine in a neutral position. Back and stomach sleepers benefit the most from this, as a firm mattress supports the lower back and prevents the hips from sinking too deeply.


For side sleepers, an extremely firm mattress might not always be the best choice as it may not provide adequate give for the hips and shoulders. However, a medium-firm selection can often provide the balance needed for proper spinal alignment in this sleep position.

How Does a Firm Mattress Distribute Weight?

A firm mattress works to distribute weight evenly by providing a solid surface that resists sagging or indenting under your body weight. This uniform resistance can help maintain an even weight distribution across the mattress, reducing the likelihood of pressure points.


At Factory Buys, our mattress's support layers are designed to be robust and resist significant compression. These layers help to keep the surface level and promote even weight distribution.

What Is the Best Firm Mattress I Can Buy?

The best firm mattress for you will depend on your body shape, weight, and general sleeping position. Here are a couple of tips on what to look for:

Body Shape

If you have broad shoulders or wider hips, you may need a mattress that provides a balance of support and contouring to help maintain your body's natural alignment. 

Weight

Heavier individuals (typically over 100kgs) may stand to benefit from a firmer mattress that prevents excessive sinking and maintains proper spinal alignment. 


Lighter individuals (typically under 60kgs ), however, might find a firm mattress too hard and may need a softer option to ensure adequate contouring and pressure relief.

Sleeping Position 

If you're a back or stomach sleeper, a firm mattress can be beneficial to support your lumbar region and keep your body in a neutral alignment. 


Side sleepers, however, often need a mattress with a bit more give to accommodate the curves of the body and prevent pressure points.
