Choosing the perfect mattress depends on two main factors :
Weight Suitable Mattress Type Firmness Main Recommendation Under 60 kg Memory Foam / Soft Latex Soft – Medium More comfort and light support, light sinking at the shoulder and hips 60 – 90 kg Hybrid / High Density Foam Medium Balances comfort and support Over 90 kg Hybrid Supported / Firm Springs Medium – Firm Firm support to the body and prevent excessive sinking
Sleeping Position Proper Mattress Details On the back Hybrid / Medium firm foam Lumbar support, prevents pelvic slump on the side Memory foam / Soft latex Reduces pressure on the shoulder and hip, flexible body sinks on the abdomen Springs or firm foam Supports the pelvis and chest, prevents back arching
Weight/Position On the back On the side On the stomach Less than 60 kg Medium foam Soft foam Medium foam - slightly firm 60 - 90 kg Medium-firm hybrid Medium foam + soft layer Firm hybrid Over 90 kg Hard hybrid or support springs Medium hybrid + top foam Very firm springs or latex
Try the mattress for at least 14 days before making a final judgment.
The pillow is as important as the mattress — use a high pillow for the side, low for the stomach.
Make sure the mattress supports the body from head to pelvis , without any obvious curves.
