Firm Mattress Sets

Some say that a "firm" or hard mattress will provide better support. But what really matters is that a mattress distributes pressure evenly across your body thus providing better support. Some experts recommend firm mattresses because back and stomach sleepers will not sag into the surface and will prevent spinal bending that can result in back pain.

Back sleepers usually benefit from mattresses that offer support to fill in the gaps in the contours of the back, but at the same time provide enough comfort as not to feel like a board. Keep in mind that it is easy to add some softness to a firm mattress with padding. Keep in mind that firm mattresses are designed to feel hard, so in some cases adding a pad will not make it feel like a soft mattress or soft enough.
