8:10 Wrap-Up
A mattress’s firmness is determined by its construction, comfort layer thickness, and the bodyweight of the owner. For instance, innerspring mattresses with a thin comfort layer are usually going to be softer than a memory foam mattress with a thick comfort layer. Also, heavier people might find a mattress to be firmer or softer than a lighter person.
#firmmattresses are usually a better match for stomach sleepers and some back sleepers because they are so supportive. They should also work better for hot sleepers and those who like to sleep on top of their mattress.
#softmattresses are going to work for side sleepers and those who prefer to sink into their mattress. They are also a better mattress for couples.

Believe it or not. I've been sleeping on the floor for 16 years. Hardwood floor, and I finally got a bed and lemme tell you....my bed feels like heaven.
Funny I’ve been sleeping on a bed for all my life and the floor feels amazing I don’t know what bed you have but my bed doesn’t really support me so thenfloor is super comfortable I need a firmer mattress
@@js5791 get a purple mattress after you save!!! Totally worth it.
@@js5791 don’t get Casper if you have back problems.
Your wooden planks that support your mattress on the bed shouldn't be weak at all and shouldn't have big gaps between each one, if so then change your bedding moreso to a flat board support so there are no gaps and no sinking when you get on the bed. Number two is always have a firm matress as humans are naturally supposed to sleep on the floor as it aligns your back so try to mimic the floor. And if you like abit of soft the just get a memory foam topper but make sure your mattress is firm.
Summary:
1. Wooden planks should be very strong and shouldn't be too apart. (Suggest changing to flat board)
2. Making sure your mattress is firm only topper should be soft. (Humans naturally are supposed to sleep on a firmer surface)
i feel sleepy laying on the soft couch as asoon as go to my stif bed i cant sleep, anyone have the same issue?
I just want to wake up without feeling like I got in a fight with a kung fu master who hit all my nerves and pressure points.
Crumbs
Get a firm mattress. Your back sinking too much in soft mattress can cause fatigue
*Q: Who should choose a firm mattress?*
A: 4:53
~ Stomache sleepers (4:55)
~ Back sleepers (5:09)
~ People who sleep on top of their matress (5:27)
~ Heavy sleepers (3:01)
~ People who roll over in their sleep (3:23)
~ People who snore (8:38)
~ Everyone.
Bro you're a g, taking time out of your life to explain mattress's to folks. It helps alot of people out and most people (myself included) wouldn't have enough patience for this. You're a 10, thanks bro.
I prefer firm mattresses, always have. If I sleep on a soft mattress, I wake up with an aching back. However, at some point, firm can be too firm. I slept on an old flippable mattress that was in great shape, and it was too firm, but it was labeled as extra firm. I despise the sensation of memory foam--like sleeping in quick sand.
Was the extra firm like sleeping on the floor with rug?
it will change your body shape
I thought firm mattresses were healthier, but naturally loved the sinking in feeling of being a side sleeper on a softer mattress, so I was always conflicted. But, I’m glad you said one isn’t definitely better than the other!
Oh same! I’m dealing with learning firm for me is not a great time Lol
Braindead copium,soft only
I like how you explain how a firmer mattress may keep you cooler by not syncing so much into the mattress. I've never really liked memory foam and this might explain one of the reasons why I don't care for it.
I used to have a soft mattress, it was very uncomfortable when me and my partner would sleep together, I always woke up with a backache! I got a firm mattress and it fixed the problem
i am having the same problem, trying to change to the firmer one :(
Same
As A side sleeper SOFT AND PLUSH FOR ME> I need that extra cushion on my shoulder when I sleep. LIke the Layla, Layla Hybrid, Helix Sunset, Casper Nova Hybrid, Nest Alexandria signature Hybrid in the PLUSH, PUFFY ROYAL, Well you get the Idea..lol
If you put a layer of egg-crate foam on top of a super firm mattress, you will get both support and comfort. I've been doing this for decades with great results (no back pain).
Tell us more please. For example, how thick is the foam layer? And how often do you / have your replaced that foam layer?
@@anandksrao I think egg-crate foam comes in only one thickness, but different sizes to accommodate mattress size. I've never felt a need to replace the egg-crate foam (the spikey part goes up). You can find it on Amazon.
@@mikecrook8434 Thanks for responding. I found 2, 3, 4 inch thick variants on Amazon. Do you know how thick your foam layer is?
The materials vary. Memory foam (4") is great. Mine's regular foam (4"). I'll get memory foam when I get around to it. Gel is also available, but I've not tried it.
yep...stack foam..the top will be egg crate...you will literally wake up in the same position you went to sleep in!!
I thought soft might be the way to go, but now I think I need a firm mattress based on this video. Thanks!
Thank you! Great Video! You've answered a lot of the questions I wanted answered! You've made my decision a lot easier in decided what mattress to buy, I'll go for something in-between soft and firm.
Great information here. You hit a lot of the points, and even introduced me to some I hadn't thought of. Great video, thanks!
This was very useful and well explained, thanks very much for uploading it! 😎
Thank you for your definition.I am glad to hear these information.I bought a soft mattress without listening you and it could be a wrong decision. I will change it with medium firm mattress .😀
Soft all the way!!! I have always loved the feeling of sinking into a soft bed, but it is more important to me as I get older with more ached and pains LOL! I really like the feeling of a soft memory foam and it is really wonderful to cushion any sore spots.
But it gets hot super easy
I prefer firm I sleep better on firm
Bamboo sheets can help keep them cooler.@@stormtrooper9839
Well, soft could cause mobility issues. I have a firm thats not that good maybe sinks in like half an inch. Im tall and ~80kg
@@stormtrooper9839that’s something I’m willing to sacrifice in the summers. But a soft mattress is great for winter it retains all the body heat. I absolutely love soft beds every time I try to sleep in a firm bed it’s so uncomfortable
Haing a bad back I need a firmer mattress and definitely a pocketed coil inner spring base, with a midlayer or two of either micro coils or dense foam, and then a pillow top upper layer.
I've become obsessed with this channel! simple and great explanations
Nice to know about softer mattresses for side sleepers. I guess after sleeping on a futon for 25 years any thing will be softer for me. I enjoy watching your video's as well since you are on the heavier side it helps me make more informed decisions.
As a person who is a stomach sleeper, hot sleeper and lumbar part of back hurts, I definitely need a firm ones lol
This was an unbelievable video - really needed a good explanation like this. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info, this was helpful.
I'm saving this video for next year
So informative thank you so much! ☺️
I have an old, 10 yrs or more, Dresdan by Beautyrest Sealy mattress. One of top line at the time. When I bought it, it wasn't the extra plush but was called plush. Which was one firmer and still plush. I like it a lot. It was a pillowtop that felt a lil cradle but also firm. Would you say the Helix Midnight was a good comparison to my old mattress?
I've been sleeping on a soft memory foam for years and my grandparents had a firm memory foam that they were getting rid of and I thought I would try it out because it was a newer mattress and let me tell you I woke up in the middle of the night with severe back pain and the next day at work I hurt so bad it felt like I had the flu! I immediately switched back to my other mattress and I felt so much better
This was very helpful I weigh 200 pounds and I'm sleeping on a plush and I'm going to get a new bed tomorrow cause I thought soft was what I needed but I didn't really think of weight. I do sleep on my side and stomach I'm sure I'll be alright with a firm or medium firm. Thanks for this video
My husband is a strict side sleeper but he does not like soft mattresses or memory foam. It causes him pain, but he has to sleep on his side and says he gets better sleep with firm mattresses
I'm both back sleeper and side sleeper so I'm researching which fits me best since I had a mild stroke and I want to sleep comfortably and our country has a tropical weather either humid at summer and colder at ber months... And I want to purchase a memory topper with new gel mix and your video helps me to decide if a topper will be my long investment plan soon. Thank you.
I have soft matress I sleep laying down and it's comfy, actually just ordered a Sealy soft matress calif king size
SOFT. Soft is always better for me as a side sleeper So I need soft plush and lush and supportive. Thanks for all your reviews.
A Full/Double Size, Mid-Firm Mattress is what I need..
I am mostly a side sleeper, but end up in every position throughout the night. I wake up about every 30 minutes to an hour to change positions. For reference, I am petite (115 pounds), sleep alone, and am hot natured. have had 2 major shoulder surgeries, but I prefer to sleep on my side which is painful. Throughout my journey, I have tried a Stearns and Foster (too hot and too much cradling/sinking) vispring elite (also too hot and uncomfortable), and currently I am on my trial period for the new purple restore premier firm.
My main issue is that everything I try sleeps hot. The other issue is that once I get a new mattress, it feels incredibly comfortable. After a few days go by and the mattress begins to “break in” and the initial cushioning goes down, I am in excruciating pain. The purple mattress I currently have has been the only thing I have tried that doesn’t have me burning up after an hour, but while lying on my back it is too soft from my hips sinking, and on my side my shoulders do not sink enough and I wake up often to change positions.
Every morning my body feels all out of wack. If I sleep on my back, I need a medium firm mattress, and if I’m on my side, I need a softer mattress. I do not like memory foam due to sleeping hot, and I prefer to be on vs in the mattress.
I haven’t had a good nights sleep in years, and could really use some advice on where to go from here.
Thank you for clarifying this for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot this was so informative
Such a great video! Simple and Informative!
Glad it was helpful!
In my experience I got a extra firm latex mattress because I wanted that extra support and while it felt good at store my body ached after sleeping on it. I topped it off with a soft topper and now feels amazing
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Very informative. I lean towards the medium-firm mattresses because I favor my stomach. However, I am a combo sleeper at times, on my back and sides and share the bed with my wife who sleeps on her side. So, for us, we should compromise on a medium firm is my take away.
Hello. Out of curiosity, what bed was on 1:31 - 1:33? Its looks super soft and comfy - just what I need and haven’t really had much luck with mattress shopping lately. Thank you!
Well explained thank you
Awesome info, thank-you. But can you tell me where I can find the label that tells me if my mattress is a soft or firm? I don't think I got what I ordered. I have a Beauty Rest Unity Luxury Ocean.
I’ve been using a firm mattress for years and have had horrible back pain and sleepless nights. I finally tried a medium firm and I actually feel comfortable and not nearly as tough falling asleep as a back sleeper.
I love firm ,soft gives me anxiety like I am sinking
My friend has spinal stenosis. She has a lot of lower back pain. She cannot sleep flat facing upwards as it stretches her back. Which one do you recommend ?
Hi, I want a recommendation for my mattress. I am a side sleeper, sometimes feel pain in the morning, andlike the cloud like feeling however I move around a lot at night so what do you think the best for me?
I knew I liked soft mattresses, now I know it is because I am a side sleeper :)
Thanks for the video
I am 120 lbs and i have alot of pressure points and lower back pain.... Im thinking a soft hybrid or memory foam.. maybe the layla? thanks for the info!
I learned a lot watching this. Thank you!!
The best bed I ever slept in was at a hotel in Rochester, Mn about 15 years ago.
It had to be the softest bed ever, I laid on it and sank, I never wanted to come out of this bed, it was so comfortable, I had one of the best nights sleep, anyone have a clue what type of bed this would be?
For me, soft mattress. I’m a strict side sleeper and need a softer bed for pressure relief and i kinda like to sink into my bed a little. I think a medium soft is the sweet spot for me, soft enough for comfort and still has the proper support that i need. I’m 150 lbs and especially like a hybrid mattress with coils for even better support👍
I find that firm mattresses are like sleeping on concrete, but also it's nothing like concrete and it's also a really comfortable (not) concrete. I love my firm matress rated 8. And I'm also side sleeper so, comfort is subjective. I hope that I won't have to go back to soft matress at some point in my life
Hi I am 5’3 and weigh 98lbs. I sleep on my back/side/stomach pretty equally. I am having a hard time deciding on whether or not to get a bed that is a 4/10 or a 6/10 on the scale. Any advice?
What if one is an all round sleeper. Meaning that I am a side, back, stomach and upwards sleeper which mattress would work best for me.
What is semi firm matters for a toddler is good to buy?
So I have joint pain, am a side sleeper who is a restless sleeper. Which is recommended for me?
What would you recommend for a couple that sleeps on side and back. 120lb and 150lb respectively. Thank you in advance!
I spend a lot of time in bed on a count of being bedbound and I plan on getting a new double bed and am looking for a mattress
What would u recommend so I don’t end up getting bedsores ?
Need a recommendation I sleep on my side and stomach would you recommend medium firm ?
How do I make a soft foam mattress to a medium firm one?
I feel like a firmer mattress is better for couple to avoid feeling the movement ?
This is an excellent video!
Glad you think so!
I have a siade hip pain and my mattress is soft , which is the best solution?
I'm 110 lbs, combo sleeper, I recently got a firm mattress and my back is killing me! i'm really not sleeping well on it. But i also don't like the feeling of sinking in either. Should I consider a semi-firm? with or without springs? thanks a lot for the help!
How are you feeling after an year since you posted this comment? The firmness could be because the mattress was new, and it needed a breaking period, and your body to get used to it. This usually takes couple of weeks to a month.
Thank you!
When you’re a hot sleeping side sleeper
IKR, then add if you want bounce xD
PLEASE HELP :
I have back, neck, and hip pain. I’m a combo sleeper, but mainly back and side. I weigh about 140 pounds. I do share a bed, but the motion transfer is the least of my concerns. I don’t even care about budget anymore. My pain is getting so much worse as my mattress ages and it is too firm (firm mattress).
I’m not even sure if you’ll see this, but I really need help. I’ve been trying for so long to find a mattress for me. I’ve watched practically every one of your videos, read various articles about the “best” mattresses, etc., and everything’s just confusing me more.
Thank you!
What’s your thoughts on Purple 2?
Excellent explanation I wish you could do the same thing regarding pillows I have purchased a nectar mattress and am a side sleeper but can't get the correct height/thickness on the pillows! I'm trying and my neck is always hurting..😒
How do u like the hector

What are the major differences between a Sealy Posturepidic Grand Avenue 14" Cushion Firm Pillow Top versus a Sealy Posturepedic 14" Humboldt ltd Cushion Firm Pillow Top mattress?
Great videos! What mattress would you recommend for a 100 lb, stomach-side sleeper, that has 0 voc's? (bonus if it is bamboo, and the company uses good environmental practices.) Thank you!
Your wooden planks that support your mattress on the bed shouldn't be weak at all and shouldn't have big gaps between each one, if so then change your bedding moreso to a flat board support so there are no gaps and no sinking when you get on the bed. Number two is always have a firm matress as humans are naturally supposed to sleep on the floor as it aligns your back so try to mimic the floor.

Hope this helps. 😅❤
What's your opinion of Alswell 10" mattress with Copper Gel 4" topper?
I hear soft mattresses start to sag and lose support after a while. I'm deciding if I wanna get the serta edgefield. I've read that after a short period that it sags and loses support.
im a side sleeper but i also don’t like feeling like i’m sleeping inside the bed. I like sleeping on top of the mattress. I’m so confused on what to get.
I like sleeping on my sides
But I hate being hot when I sleep
I’ve been having aches in like my tail bone/lumbar area. It’s like a bit lower than my actual lower back but not quite in my glutes.
(Which might be from work) I’m 23 probably about 185lbs 5’7.
Your thoughts?
one side Medium firm , other side soft combination is best
I sleep with a body pillow so I tend to be half way from side and stomach, so what do you recommend
Soft
hey i sleep on half back and half side what bed is for me?
What if you have back pain and a side sleeper?
Thank you so much for making this video! But now I feel like I'm more confused with what mattress I want. for the most part I'm a stomach sleeper but I wonder if it's because my mattress is uncomfortable. I like the idea of having a soft mattress though because I wonder if it'll help the amount of tossing and turning I do. I always wake up at least twice throughout the night.
I want a soft mattress. I normally sleep on my belly but right now that I’m pregnant I sleep more on my side which one would be best? I’m on the heavier side. 200 lbs not pregnant lol
Hi, I love your video and I need your advice. My wife is a side sleeper but I am a stomach and back sleeper. In this case, which mattress is the best for both of us?
Medium Firm
I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to find the best bed/softness level. I’m 5’6”, 140. I prefer sleeping on my stomach, sometimes side, and sleep very hot. My issue is I prefer softer beds but have to be careful with back pain when too soft, and shoulder pain when too firm. I think I’m looking for a 5.5-6.0 hybrid bed, but not sure. Can you recommend a mattress for me?
Hey, what did u end up getting
Hmm i love sleeping on the side and stomach, so what do I do, firm or soft? I am personally thinking like medium firm cauze i HATE feeling like the bed is gonna eat me
Thx ☺️
Thnx
I need a new mattress
i really want to get a firm one so it forces me to sleep on my back. But naturally i keep rolling over on my side when i sleep and if i have a firm matress i will just wake up less recovered
Super information
What if you are a stomach sleeper but very lightweight
Great vid
I just ordered a new mattress from Mattress Firm and I got a medium mattress. I didn't want a firm hard mattress. I'm a stomach and side sleeper so I think medium mattress is great. I'm also a cold sleeper.
How's it been treating you after a year? I sleep side and stomach, so I'm leaning towards medium and firm
@@daricodude3555 It's amazing especially for the price. I paid $250 for it lol.
perfect video good job
Thank you very much!
im a stomach sleeper i punch peoples stomachs and put them to sleep, no i mean i sleep on my stomach, for years i slept on a couch and my back would bend this was an old couch so i later aquired lower back pain, i started to sleep on bricks, no i mean i later got a really firm mattress because of my lower back pain and what i actually needed i feel is a soft mattress or balanced definitely not firm specially because its all springs i can feel on my cheek when putting my stomach to sleep
Depends who you buy it from is what I'd say! I got a new mattress 2 weeks ago supposed to be firm nownif got to go away and buy a firm mattress yet again as it's so soft you just sink right into it it's terrible!
Tbh I’m not able to tell the difference between these two option’s, I’ve bought an expensive mattress of medium firm for like 899$ and it hurts my back the first time i slept on, the next day i went back to my 99$ mattress (which i honestly don’t know if it’s firm or medium firm/soft) I’m not sure…
I had a firm mattress for 11 years and we just got a really nice dream cloud and I don’t know if I like it. I wake up with slight back pain. Only on day 4 so will keep u updated 😂
We need an update!
I definitely like the firmer mattress for my back issues.
007martini honestly I think we have been brain washed to think soft mattress is the way I’ve slept on Bamboo firm bed and it’s the best sleep I’ve ever gotten since I got a memory foam bed it’s been down hill from there.
What mattress is best if you have sensitive or constant pain in your heals
sounds like plantar faciitis. Have you seen a podiatrist about your heel pain?
I am a 68 yr old woman around 180 lbs. with hip and shoulder pain. I had a pillow top and loved it until 3 months after buying it, it began to sag. Now I am looking at a Beautyrest black CX medium firm and Beautyrest CX plush. I can’t make up my mind as I heard plush mattresses sag quicker than medium firm, what do you suggest? Thankyou!
I suggest trying a Firmzzz. They can fix the sag, and restore the support because all beds will sag over time.
