How Firm Should Your Mattress Be? A Guide by Sleep Position

Choosing the right firmness is critical to good sleep, and at Go2sleep, we help customers understand how firmness impacts alignment and comfort.

Side sleepers often need a softer mattress to cushion the shoulders and hips. Back sleepers typically do best with medium to medium-firm support. Stomach sleepers usually need firmer mattresses to prevent lower-back strain.

While sleep position is a great starting point, Go2sleep knows that body type and pressure sensitivity matter just as much. That’s why we use the BedMATCH® system to scientifically identify the firmness level that best supports your body—not just what feels good for a few minutes.
