Shop Mattresses by Comfort

Soft, medium, or firm?
Let’s find your perfect feel.

The “best” firmness isn’t the same for everyone — it depends on how you sleep, your body, and what feels right to you. Here’s how to find yours, and where to start shopping once you know.

The Firmness Scale

One simple scale, three places to start.

Mattress feel runs from plush and cushioning to firm and supportive. Most people land somewhere they’d describe as soft, medium, or firm — here’s roughly where each sits.

Soft / Plush Medium Firm
2–4 / 10
Soft Cushioning and cradling. You sink in a little.
5–6 / 10
Medium The balanced middle. Support plus give.
7–9 / 10
Firm Solid and supportive. You rest on top.
Find Your Feel

Three comfort levels. Shop the one that fits you.

Not sure yet? Read who each one tends to suit, then come try them side by side. Feeling the difference in person beats guessing every time.

Soft
2–4 / 10
Best for side sleepers & lighter builds
A plush, cushioning surface that lets your shoulders and hips settle in. Relieves pressure points and gives that cradled, sink-in feeling.
  • Side sleepers who want shoulder & hip relief
  • Lighter body types
  • Anyone who likes a cushioned, “hug” feel

Medium
5–6 / 10
Best for combination sleepers & couples
The most popular choice for a reason. Enough cushion to feel comfortable, enough support to keep your spine aligned. The safe bet when you’re unsure.
  • Combination sleepers who move positions
  • Couples with different preferences
  • Anyone wanting balanced support & comfort
Shop Medium Mattresses
Firm
7–9 / 10
Best for back & stomach sleepers
A solid, supportive surface that keeps your hips lifted and your spine in line. You rest on top of the bed rather than sinking in.
  • Back and stomach sleepers
  • Heavier body types needing more support
  • Anyone who finds soft beds too sinky
