Don't worry, we've got you covered! We test the firmness of every mattress we sell, ensuring you know exactly what you're getting. We've combined our years of experience with the manufacturer's descriptions to give each mattress a firmness rating.
Our simple firmness scale goes from medium soft to extra firm, where medium soft is cloud-like softness and extra firm is extra firm support. So, whether you love sinking into a plush bed or prefer a firm feel, you'll find your perfect match in no time! Plus, with our 100-night comfort trial you simply can’t get it wrong, if you don't love your new mattress, just swap it out for a different one.

Understanding Our Mattress Firmness Scale
You’ve seen the firmness ratings on our product pages, but let’s dive a little deeper into what each rating really means.
Medium soft
Like sleeping on a cloud!
Perfect if you love gentle support and a super plush feel. Great for those with a lighter build or if you just want to feel like you’re floating. It provides that extra softness for a more luxurious sleep experience.

Medium
The Goldilocks of mattresses—just right!
Our most popular choice, medium firmness is a happy balance for most body types. Ideal for couples who can’t decide between soft and firm and can help with backaches when paired with a solid base. More support than a medium soft mattress but not as firm as the medium firm options.

Medium Firm
A bit more support but still comfy.
If you want a firmer feel than medium, this is for you. It’s a great solution for those who want firmer support but still like a slightly plush feel on top. Good for anyone whose spine alignment is important too.

Firm
Solid and supportive, just how you like it.
For those who prefer a firm feel, often labelled “ortho” for extra support. Perfect if you have a larger frame or back problems, but always go with what feels best for you. Ideal for spine alignment, particularly for back sleepers.

Extra Firm
The ultimate in support!
Our firmest option, ideal if you need the sturdiest surface available. Often called “ortho,” these mattresses are great for serious back issues, though maybe not the best if you have a slight build or sleep on your side.
