Mattress Feel
MEDIUM - MEDIUM FIRM mattresses and futons are ideal for side sleepers. Medium to medium-firm offers firm support while soft enough to provide conforming ability for your shoulders, hips, knees, and is generally a perfect firmness for small to average sized people. If you are a side sleeper our mattress will contour to the curves of your body, for men, woman, and children. Medium Firm will allow just the right amount to relieve pressure points and keep your spine, neck, and back aligned. If you weigh more than 230 lbs. we recommend firm to extra firm mattresses for optimal support. Tummy sleepers need medium to firm mattresses because you need to keep your spine properly aligned but the mattress must be forgiving enough to reduce pressure on your stomach and rib area. Therefore you need a mattress not to firm and not to soft.
