Firm Mattresses FAQs

mattress buying guide.

1. What are the benefits of a firm mattress?

When it comes to choosing mattresses, firm options are typically best for heavier individuals and people who suffer from back pain, as they provide more support. Stomach and back sleepers are also more likely to prefer firm mattresses. For more info on choosing the best tension for your needs, consult our mattress buying guide.

2. What size firm mattresses are available?

We offer firm mattresses in a variety of sizes, ranging from single options for solo sleepers, to king and super king designs to make a bold statement in the bedroom. One of the best ways to refresh your sleep space is to upgrade your mattress, so if you’re looking to redesign your room, why not size up and give yourself more space to move at night?

3. What brands of firm mattresses are available?

You’ll find some of the best UK firm mattress brands in our collection, including our range of Tempur mattresses with their pioneering memory foam technology. Alternatively, try our Simba mattresses for a cooling sleep experience.

4. Is a firm mattress good for back pain?

Yes, the support provided by a firm mattress can help ease spinal pain during the night. Since the surface of your mattress is less likely to sink or sag, it can help keep your back aligned and maintain good posture while you sleep.

5. How can you tell if a mattress is too firm for you?

Waking up with joint pain (specifically in your neck, back, and shoulders) could be a sign that you need a softer mattress. Stiffness and tingling are also common side effects, so if you find yourself feeling uncomfortable in the morning, consider switching to a different mattress tension.
