Firm mattress, medium mattress or soft mattress?

That  quintessential comparison between the hard, medium and soft mattress never existed in India, at least until the 1990s. The fact that most Indians preferred sleeping on a hard mattress, as hard as sleeping on a concrete floor, separated us from the rest of world sleepers. It’s a known fact that for most Indians, buying a mattress is mostly a two-minute thing – people touch and feel a mattress, if it’s firm they buy it. When you’re going to spend one-third of your life sleeping on a mattress, it is of grave importance to understand the type of mattress suitable for your body type, and the one that not only ensures sound sleep but also helps in eradicating all problems associated with sleep.

What is a Firm Mattress?

True to its name, it would be considered harder in feel to the other mattress surfaces. If you like a solid feel rather than soft, firm may be your choice! A firm mattress usually has a thin upholstery layer of soft foam that softens the top of the mattress. The remaining upholstery is firmer foam to give the mattress a very firm, comfort feel. This could be a good choice for back sleepers and stomach sleepers.

What is a medium firm mattress?

They are firm enough to provide support but soft enough to provide comfort, as a result, they tend to be most effective in relieving pain. Stomach sleepers or front sleepers must ensure they buy medium firm mattress, as it is just perfect for them.

What is a Soft Mattress?
Also known as plush mattress, it comprises of thicker upholstery layers for a softer initial feel to the mattress. Side sleepers and back sleepers should opt for this. 

 “Sleep is the best meditation,” quoted by Dalai Lama sums up the importance of sleep in our lives. It is one of our core necessities, something without which we cannot thrive. And even if we ignore the philosophical aspect, research shows that human beings cannot go without sleep for more than 11 days and within this duration of sleep deprivation they suffer from lapses in memory, difficulty in concentration as well as deficit in other mental processes.  Such is the importance of sleep in our lives, so why not ensure that we do all that is possible to get it, night in and night out.

Now, notwithstanding parameters such as temperature, mental stress etc. one of the basic factors for getting a good night’s sleep is having a comfortable, snug bed and of course when we talk about bed, we usually refer to the mattress on it. A good mattress not only ensures sound sleep but also improves your sleep quantity and quality.
