Medium Soft Mattress

Figuring out the right firmness level to ensure you get plenty of high-quality sleep can be tough – how do you know if you need a firm or soft mattress? We've assembled answers to all the most frequently asked questions about our medium-soft mattresses to help remove any confusion!

On the firmness scale, a medium-soft mattress is halfway between soft and medium firmness. It is softer than a medium, but will still provide more support than a soft mattress. You'll find that soft to medium mattresses usually contour to your body throughout the night to give you a snugger feel.

We offer a medium soft firmness level for all our mattress types, including some of our most popular styles, such as our supportive memory foam mattresses and pocket spring range. Whatever benefit you're looking for – whether it's plenty of springs to offer higher support, or contouring memory foam for that extra comfy sleep, our medium soft range is guaranteed to have something to suit your needs!

Not sure which type will give you the best sleep? Our mattress buying guide explains the different types available to buy to help you make your buying decision!

Medium soft mattresses are best for people who don't require excessive support throughout the night, and ideally those who don't experience back pain. Because they're lighter on support, they're more often designed to adapt to the shape of your body, making them a good choice for side sleepers or those who change position as they sleep. They're also ideal for lighter sleepers, as heavier sleepers might find it harder to move due to the more cushioned feel.

Children can use a medium-soft mattress, but we'd recommend you do a lot of research to ensure it's the right choice for your child! This is because they need a lot of support during the night. Their bodies are still developing, so you'll want to avoid anything that adds pressure to their joints while promoting a healthy spinal alignment.

Our range of children's mattresses has been carefully curated to ensure they offer all the support and comfort they need at night. Our children's mattress buying guide has plenty of helpful tips to help you make the right choice!

A medium to soft mattress can be an excellent choice for side sleepers. As you sleep on your side, pressure is placed on your hips and shoulders. Choosing a softer mattress will cushion these pressure points, helping alleviate discomfort. Mattresses that mould around your body, such as foam or latex mattresses, are a great option. We've listed some of our top picks for the best mattresses for side sleepers, and our side sleeper mattresses range has been curated to help make your buying decision easier.

However, a too-soft mattress can cause spinal alignment issues, leading to back pain over time. If you're heavier, we'd recommend exploring our medium firm mattresses instead, as these will offer the extra support you'll need; something softer will run the risk of misaligning your spine, as your weight can cause your body to sink further into the mattress instead of being supported by it.
