Are natural mattresses less comfortable than conventional mattresses?
Most people will say the most important criteria when shopping for a mattress is comfort. Comfort is not at all compromised by choosing a mattress which is made of healthy, safer natural materials. As a bonus, natural mattresses have a far better long term benefit on your health and happiness since you will sleep safer and healthier when you choose only nature’s best. Ensure you select the right firmness for your age, sleeping position and surface-softness preference.
Mattress firmness |
Ideally suited to: |
Soft |
Older people generally need a softer mattress due to the body not being as elastic and having reduced blood circulation Side sleepers generally need a softer mattress as they have the weight of their hips and shoulders directly on the mattress. This creates a pressure zone which can limit circulation and cause pain and discomfort if a firmer mattress is used. |
Firm |
People who are predominantly stomach and back sleepers need a firmer mattress due to their weight being distributed evenly over the mattress |
