When you share your life with a loved one, small differences can sometimes manifest themselves in surprising ways, especially when it comes to choosing a mattress.

If you and your partner have a significant weight difference, finding the perfect mattress can be a challenge. You don't want to "roll" over each other while you sleep, let alone have your mattress deform in any particular area.

Discover our tips for choosing a mattress that offers optimal sleeping independence.

Assess individual needs:

Before you begin your search, take the time to assess each person's sleep needs. Discuss preferences in terms of firmness, support, and material preferences. This will help you better narrow down the options available on the market.


Choose a pocket spring or memory foam mattress:

Pocket spring or memory foam mattresses are ideal for couples with a weight difference. Hybrid mattresses , which combine these two technologies, are also a good option. The individual pocket springs provide optimal support for each pressure point. The fact that the springs are independent of each other provides cushioning in the most depressed areas without distorting the mattress in other areas.

These types of mattresses provide a more even weight distribution, reducing movement transmitted from one side of the bed to the other.

Should I buy a large double mattress or two single mattresses pushed together?

If you and your partner have a significant weight difference,

  • A large mattress for two people: ideal for spacious bedrooms, and for couples who want to choose bedding with the best quality/price ratio.
  • Two Single Mattresses: Perfect for couples who are used to always sleeping on the same side of the bed, this option is also ideal for people who can make a slightly larger investment in their bedding.

What about the mattress topper?

A mattress topper can be a practical solution for adjusting the firmness of your main mattress. Choose a mattress topper that will add a layer of comfort with a softer feel, while increasing the firmness of the support, allowing each partner to feel like they're on cloud nine.
