Selecting the right Boxspring Mattress
Selecting the right firmness for your pocket spring mattress depends on your body type, sleep position, and personal preferences. Here's a guide to help you choose between soft, medium, and firm mattresses:
1. Soft Mattress
- Best for: Side sleepers, lighter individuals, or those who prefer a plush feel.
- Feel: Soft mattresses allow your body to sink more into the bed, providing cushioning around pressure points like the hips and shoulders.
- Support: Soft mattresses are typically more contouring and can help relieve pressure, making them ideal for people with joint pain or those who like a "hugging" sensation.
- Consider: May not provide adequate support for heavier individuals, and might lead to spinal misalignment if your body sinks too much. We advise this to sleepers lighter than 70kg, however based on body length advice might vary. Please check table below.
2. Medium Mattress
- Best for: Combination sleepers (those who change positions), couples with different sleep preferences, or those who like a balance of softness and support.
- Feel: A medium mattress offers a balance of comfort and support, cradling your body without letting it sink too deeply.
- Support: It provides adequate support for most body types and sleep positions, making it a versatile option.
- Consider: Works well for most people but may not be firm enough for stomach sleepers or heavier individuals. We advise this to sleepers lighter than 100kg, however based on body length advice might vary. Please check table below.
3. Firm Mattress
- Best for: Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, or heavier individuals.
- Feel: A firm mattress keeps your body on top of the bed, preventing excessive sinking and maintaining a flatter surface.
- Support: It provides the most support, helping to keep your spine in alignment, especially for those who sleep on their back or stomach.
- Consider: May feel too hard for people with joint pain or those who prefer a softer, more cushioned surface. We advise this to sleepers over 100kg, however based on body length advice might vary. Please check table below.
Additional Factors:
- Body Weight: Heavier individuals may need a firmer mattress to prevent sinking, while lighter individuals might prefer a softer mattress for more contouring.

Sleep Position:
