Medium Firm Mattresses

Choosing the right mattress firmness can be challenging, and it can directly impact your sleep quality. We've compiled answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to help you make the right choice.

A medium-firm mattress is on the firmer end of the support scale, sitting between medium and firm mattresses. It offers plenty of support with a firmer feel that still has some 'give' and can adapt to your body's pressure, meaning it could be the perfect choice if you're looking for exceptional support but a cosy feel.

We have medium-to-firm mattresses for everyone, including some of our best-selling types, such as:

Medium-firm memory foam mattresses

Memory foam mattresses are the ultimate in custom support. Using your body heat, they are designed to mould to your body's unique contours throughout the night. Our range of medium-firm memory foam mattresses provides high levels of support, making them a popular choice with customers.

Medium firm pocket spring mattresses

Perfect for solo sleepers who move around at night or couples, a pocket spring mattress comprises hundreds of springs, each in a fabric pocket. These springs move when weight is placed onto them, meaning springs further away will not move to help reduce unfortunate jostling. Our medium firm pocket spring mattresses combine the benefit of less interruption with a firmer sleeping surface for a good night's sleep!

Medium firm orthopaedic mattresses

This firmness rating is ideal for those suffering from back pain, making a medium-firm orthopaedic mattress the perfect choice for anyone looking to relieve aches and pains. Orthopaedic mattresses are specially designed to reduce joint pressure and are slightly firmer to promote correct spinal alignment. As such, many are rated as medium firm anyway!

Yes, a medium-firm mattress is a good choice if you suffer back pain, as studies have shown that people with long-term back pain who slept on medium-firm mattresses suffered less pain than those who slept on soft mattresses.

They are soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough to promote healthy spinal alignment as you sleep. This helps reduce the risk of aches and pains while relieving pressure on your joints.
