SELECTING COMFORT BASED ON YOUR SLEEPING POSITION
Selecting the right comfort for your sleeping position is crucial, as you spend about 70% of your sleep in that position. Excessive tossing and turning may indicate pressure on sensitive body areas, disrupting restorative sleep.
-
Back Sleepers: Can enjoy most comfort options since weight is evenly distributed, allowing for proper spinal alignment.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Prefer moderate cushioning to relieve pressure on sensitive areas like knees and elbows, avoiding extremes of firm or ultra plush mattresses that can be harmful.
-
Side Sleepers: Experience pressure on shoulders and hips, so they should also avoid very hard or very soft beds to prevent aches and pains.
HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT COMFORT FOR ME?
Choosing the right comfort option is critical to a great night’s sleep. The less comfortable the body, the more difficult it is to fall and stay asleep throughout the night. We offer a dynamic range of comforts for all preferences from Firm to Ultra Plush.
Comfort is what you feel within moments of laying on the bed, as opposed to Pressure-relief which is what you feel after settling into the bed.
When choosing these options, understand that the technology delivering these comforts may influence the feel. For example, a plush feel for a memory foam mattress may feel firmer than a plush feel for a quilted innerspring.
Ultimately, comfort is a preference to the individual, however there are guidelines we recommend based on a number of factors that can help prevent buying a comfort that is wrong for you.
FIRM
Solid feel with minimal give, suited for back and stomach sleepers.
SELECTING COMFORT BASED ON YOUR BODY WEIGHT
When choosing a mattress based on comfort (firm, cushion firm, plush, or ultra-plush), body weight is crucial. Heavier individuals (over 300 pounds) may benefit from a firmer mattress for support and spinal alignment, while lighter sleepers (under 150 pounds) often prefer plush options for contouring. A cushion firm mattress provides a middle ground, balancing support and softness.
Personal preferences also matter; heavier sleepers who favor softness should be cautious of excessive sinking. Testing different mattress types according to weight can help find the best fit for quality sleep.
