How to Choose a Soft Mattress
In this guide, we have used our expert knowledge to bring you everything you need to know about choosing a soft mattress, so you are fully prepped when shopping for your mattress with Winston’s Beds.
When deciding on a new mattress, there are lots of different factors to consider. For example, do you want a firm or a soft one? Latex foam, springs, or both? How about a pillow-top style?
All of these details can be tough to narrow down, especially when you can’t go and physically test a selection of mattresses for yourself. Here at Winston’s, we try to make finding the best soft mattress as easy as possible.
This will vary depending on a few key factors. Firstly, identifying what type of mattress is best for your weight. This will ensure you get the most out of your mattress.
We recommend soft mattresses for back, front and mixed sleepers weighing up to 10 stones and side sleepers weighing up to 11 stones. At Winstons Beds, we have designed the UK’s 6 best mattresses that come under the header of ‘soft.’ pocket sprung, and latex mattresses are some of the softer options we offer.
Many retailers make their mattresses softer and firmer by using different upholstery. Our soft mattresses use a 1.2mm thick spring at Winston’s Beds to create a soft feel, and our natural and luxurious upholstery layers create exquisite comfort. A medium mattress will use a 1.4mm, firm 1.6mm and extra firm a 1.8mm thick spring.
Whilst you may have your mindset on a soft mattress, there is such a thing as too soft a mattress.
Sinking into a snuggly bed might sound great, but if you find your hips and shoulders sinking too deeply, this can mean your spine isn’t supported. This creates more pressure on these points and can ruin a good night’s sleep!
