What Sleeping Position is a Firm Mattress Best for?

Firm mattresses work particularly well for back, stomach, and combination sleepers. Firm mattresses maintain the natural curve of the spine when laying on your back, which helps reduce morning backache and promotes better posture. If you sleep on your stomach, a firm mattress prevents your midsection from sinking, which can strain your lower back and neck. The firm surface keeps your body level, reducing pressure on the spine.

If you’re a side sleeper, a firm mattress may not be the best option for you. Instead, look for options with a slightly softer top layer to provide cushioning for the shoulders and hips. Alternatively, our medium-firm mattresses might be better suited.

Is a Firm Mattress Better For Your Back?

Yes, firm mattresses can be beneficial for back health and pain. They help maintain your spine’s natural alignment by preventing excessive sinking, which reduces strain on muscles and ligaments. This can alleviate back pain, provide targeted pressure-point support, and allow your muscles to fully relax.

Firm surfaces offer better support for the muscles surrounding your spine, so they don’t have to work as hard to keep your body aligned. As a result, you may experience less morning stiffness and overall discomfort.

Furthermore, our orthopaedic and firm mattresses are specifically designed to deliver consistent, supportive firmness for those with chronic back problems, joint pain, or mobility issues.

How to Make a Firm Mattress Softer

If you find your firm mattress too hard, several solutions can add cushioning without replacing it:

  • Add a memory foam mattress topper to provide excellent cushioning while maintaining underlying support.
  • Use a mattress protector with padding to add a subtle cushioning effect while protecting your mattress.
  • Use thick fitted sheets and plush bedding to add a small amount of cushioning.
  • Give your mattress 30-60 days to break in and soften with time.
  • Ensure that you’re using a slatted bed base, as this can soften the feel.

If you're consistently finding your firm mattress uncomfortable, it might be worth considering our medium-firm mattresses or soft mattresses instead.
