Balanced Firmness May End The Great Mattress Sibling Debate

People often disagree about whether a mattress should be firm or soft.

A firm mattress can feel supportive, especially for people who sleep on their backs.

But if it is too hard, it may hurt pressure points like the shoulders and hips.

A soft mattress can feel cosy and work well for side sleepers.

However, if it is too soft, a person may sink too far and feel less supported.

A medium-firm mattress tries to provide both comfort and support.

It gives the body some cushioning without allowing too much sinking.

This could make it a useful compromise for siblings who prefer different mattresses.
