What is mattress feel?

The feel of a mattress refers to the initial feeling you experience. For example, are you sinking or lying on top of the mattress without any give? Are you experiencing pushback, or do you notice that the fibres are contouring around your body? You can ask these questions to determine whether it is a soft feel mattress, medium-soft, medium or medium-firm feel.

If you share a mattress and cannot entirely agree with your partner on what feel you want, this could well be the most suitable solution. We have spent years working to ensure our medium soft feel mattresses are not only deeply comfy but also provide the underlying support and pressure-relieving properties your body needs. So here are some things you might like to think about before you make your final decision.

The difference between spring tension & mattress feel?

Feel

Feel is dictated by the fibres used inside and is all about the feeling you experience when lying on a mattress. Does it reduce the pressure? Is there a lot of cushioning or pushback?

Spring tension

Spring tension refers to how well the mattress keeps your spine in alignment and is determined by your body weight and sleeping position. For example, when you lay in your preferred sleeping position, do you feel like the mattress is lifting your spine in a straight line from your shoulders to your hips? By following our spring tension chart, you’ll be able to find a mattress that delivers the support you need in your preferred sleep position and is the correct spring tension for your body weight.

Sleeping position

If you are a side sleeper or need extra comfort at the hips, lower back and shoulders, a medium-soft feel mattress gives excellent all-around comfort. This feel will gently cradle your body while still providing pressure relief where you need it.

Shape and body weight

In the case of a lighter person, they will likely experience quality sleep for longer on a medium-soft feel mattress as opposed to a firmer feel. A medium-soft feel mattress will likely provide more pleasing comfort if a person weighs 14 stone or less. However, this does not mean that people with more weight or larger frames cannot sleep well on a medium-soft mattress. Ultimately it all comes down to what feel you like.

Your pillow

Your pillow is just as significant as the rest of your bed and is often overlooked. You may not achieve restful sleep if your neck and shoulders are not aligned and relaxed.
