If you’ve done a little research while hunting for your perfect mattress, you’ve probably noticed that many sleepers give top ratings to ultra-soft, plush, body-contouring beds.
So how can you determine whether or not a firm mattress is the right choice for you?
A firm or semi-firm mattress can support good sleep quality in people with certain health concerns, such as back and neck pain. This is because sleepers will easily maintain a neutral spinal alignment throughout the night. Sleepers with back problems have reported doing best on a medium-firm mattress.
Maintaining a neutral spine during sleep has another surprising benefit: Better oxygenation. Improper body alignment can contribute to shallow breathing during sleep. When your body is aligned well, your lungs can take in and hold more oxygen.
Additionally, firm mattresses can be useful for people who often wake up with tingling, numb, or painful limbs or other body parts. Firm mattresses support proper blood circulation, which helps prevent these problems.
Back and stomach sleepers often prefer a firmer bed to prevent improper spinal alignment that can cause chronic back and neck pain.
Firm mattresses are a great choice for sleepers who have a larger body type. A firm mattress has the added benefit of retaining its shape for a long time.
Another advantage of choosing a firm mattress is the comfort it offers to people who tend to sleep hot. It’s frustrating to toss and turn at night because you’re too hot for comfort. Running the air conditioner in the summer can help, but that can skyrocket your electricity bill. A firm inner spring won’t cause you to sink into the bed. This means your body can regulate your ideal temperature throughout the night.
