Everything you need to know about mattress firmness

Choosing a medium-firm, firm, or very firm mattress depends not only on your body type but also on your sleeping habits. The mattress's level of support is also determined by its technology, which can be foam, memory foam, or latex. Find below all the information you need to choose the firmness of your mattress.

What is mattress firmness?

A mattress's firmness is defined by its resistance to pressure exerted by the body, thus determining the level of support it provides. This characteristic is often rated according to different levels such as medium-firm, firm, or very firm. Perception of firmness can vary from person to person depending on their body shape, personal preferences, and specific needs. For example, a lighter person might find a firm mattress too stiff, while a heavier person might appreciate this firmness level for optimal support. It is crucial to differentiate between firmness and mattress support. Support is the initial sensation when lying down on the mattress, while firmness concerns the overall resistance and support during sleep. Therefore, properly balancing firmness and support is essential to ensure a comfortable night's sleep.

What are the different levels of firmness?

At MORPHEA, we offer a range of mattresses designed to fit all body types, with the option of a 100-day trial . Determining the firmness level that best suits you is crucial to ensuring quality sleep.

MEDIUM-FIRM MATTRESS
The medium-firm mattress offers the perfect balance between comfort and stability, adapting to different body shapes and sleeping positions. It is flexible and ideal for those seeking firm support with a soft, enveloping feel. Often made of foam, these mattresses conform to the contours of the body without excessively sinking, providing adequate support and effective thermoregulation for a comfortable night's sleep.

FIRM MATTRESS
Firm mattresses are generally suitable for larger people or those who prefer to sleep on their stomach or side. They provide good sleeping independence, promote air circulation, and effectively support the neck, hips, and spine, reducing the risk of the mattress sagging.

VERY FIRM MATTRESS
Recommended especially for larger individuals, very firm mattresses provide optimal spinal support, regardless of sleeping position. Thanks to technological advances, these mattresses now offer additional benefits such as improved blood circulation, pressure point relief, and natural spinal alignment.

It is crucial to choose the right firmness level based on your body type, as a mattress that is too firm can cause sleep disturbances in some sleepers due to its high firmness level.

How to choose a mattress based on firmness level?

The technology used in manufacturing a mattress plays a crucial role in its firmness and the support it provides. Here's how different types of mattress technologies are generally associated with firmness levels.

Latex mattress
Natural latex mattresses offer firm support for the GAIA model and very firm support for the ELENA . They have hypoallergenic properties and guarantee good sleeping independence.

Foam mattress
Our mattresses using foam offer very firm support for the ANNA model, semi-firm for ROMY and firm for GAIA .

Hybrid mattresses
The hybrid models MILA , JADE and VICTORIA offer a perfect balance between firmness and flexibility, thus avoiding excess firmness or softness.

It's crucial to consider individual preferences, body shape, and sleep needs when choosing mattress technology and firmness. The primary goal is to find the optimal balance that promotes comfortable and healthy sleep.

What mattress firmness should I choose for back pain?

To ensure proper spinal alignment during sleep, especially in cases of back pain, the choice of mattress is crucial. Contrary to popular belief, a very firm mattress is not always the best option in this situation. It all depends on your body type and sleeping habits. It is often recommended to opt for a medium-firm or firm mattress, depending on your weight-to-height ratio.
