How to Pick the Right Mattress
Comfort Level
Do you prefer super soft or a firm feel? A firm mattress has a harder feel and is great for maximum support with a little give. A super soft option is the plush mattress that has more give a lighter airy feel. Pillowtops and Boxtops are the softest options.
Sleep Position
If you sleep on your side or back you will need a more plush mattress. A firm feel is for people who sleep on their stomach or back. These sleepers shouldn't be on a soft surface as it will tend to back your back bow causing lower back pain.
Support
Firmness and support are not the same thing. Firmness is the feel of the mattress when you first lie down. Support refers to how the mattress keeps your spine in alignment.
Temperature
If you get hot when you sleep, you may want to look at a mattress that offers temperature regulating sleep. Foam and latex mattresses offer optimal airflow while gel infused memory foam will keep your body at an optimal temperature as you sleep.
