Winston’s medium mattresses use high-quality materials and spring technology to ensure you always get a good night’s sleep. A medium mattress may be just right if you find it tricky to decide between a soft and firm mattress.
With the UK’s best medium mattress choices in a range of sizes from single, double, king size and super king size, Winston’s Beds make sure you make an informed decision and buy medium mattresses tailored to your sleeping needs.
If you need medium mattresses, it does not mean you have fewer choices. On the contrary, a medium spring tension is available in many different types and styles. So you can achieve the ultimate sleeping experience whilst finding the right mattress.
Natural
Natural fill mattresses mould to your body and reacts to your movements. It is a pressure-relieving material and remains supportive throughout the night.
Pocket spring
Pocket spring mattresses distribute your weight evenly and are fantastic at relieving weight-bearing pressure points. This is due to the construction of the springs, where each spring is individually wrapped in its own pocket of fabric. Thus, every spring will independently respond to your weight and movement.
Pillow top
Pillow top mattresses are designed to provide the best support possible. They prevent the middle section of your body from sinking too far into the mattress, ensuring your spine stays aligned.
A medium mattress is a good choice if you are sinking in the wrong places when you sleep! Sinking in may seem great, but when you find yourself lower in sensitive areas such as hips, shoulders, neck and ankles, this can cause unwanted pressure on the joints and lead to a restless and sometimes painful night’s sleep. At Winston’s Beds, we give you a wide range of options when looking at spring tensions and feel to help you find what medium mattresses are best for you.
When talking about a medium mattress, we refer to spring tension and support. This tension level sits between soft and firm and can be perfect for you if you weigh between 11 to 16 stone. Our medium mattresses give extra support and respond to your movement as you sleep.
Compared to a bed that would come under the header of ‘firm,’ medium mattresses have a slightly more cushioned feel but still gives you a good level of support. In addition, Winston’s choice of pocket sprung mattresses allow your weight to be distributed evenly over the whole surface and relieves any weight-bearing points where you may feel pressure.
Considering your weight and sleeping position, the best medium mattresses will support you and allow you to have the comfort of a softer feel. We give you a choice of feels when considering what medium mattresses are best as spring tension (soft, medium firm, firm or extra firm) is specific to your body weight and sleeping positions whereas the feel (soft, medium soft, medium and medium-firm) is down to personal preference.
Often a firmer feel can cause aches and pains on specific pressure points, so a medium-soft or medium feel can provide the perfect balance of support and comfort. Considering your weight and sleeping position is key to getting the ideal fit when finding a mattress for specific back problems.
If you are heavier (16 stone and up), a firmer feel is best, but if you find yourself between light and firm, a medium-soft or medium feel will work to soothe your back. Using our spring tension table and how will it feel section on each product page will allow you to see what bracket you fall into and help you narrow your search for the perfect mattress.
When hotels choose the suitable firmness for a range of people staying with them, they ensure that the mattress adapts to each person’s body and movement when they sleep.
So, for example, at Winston’s Beds, our medium firm mattresses use the same pocket spring technology combined with materials such as wool, cotton and horsetail that hotels often favour, as it easily moulds to each sleeper’s needs.
Hotel mattresses are often comfortable because they research what spring tension and feel is best for many people. So instead of using a memory foam mattress commonly used in budget hotels, they use sophisticated spring technology and material layers that combine with a pocket spring core.
At Winston’s Beds, we use luxury calico pocket springs that support every contour when you move in your sleep. The springs keep your body aligned and prevent any tension in the neck and shoulders.
What firmness is best depends on the elements that affect you as you sleep. If you are looking to target specific aches and pains, you have a wider choice than you may think. While firm mattresses were often advertised as perfect for those with back pain, having a sleeping surface that is too firm can negatively affect your spine health.
Equally, too soft can mean your body sinks too deeply, so your sensitive joints are not supported. Our medium mattresses may be the right choice if you want support and comfort in equal measure. Our spring tension table can help you determine what firmness is best for you, making choosing the right mattress quick and easy.
Choosing the right mattress is all about knowing what aspects are most important for you. First, consider your weight, sleeping position and any specific joint pains you wish to target. At Winston’s Beds, we’ve researched for you our easy-to-use spring tension table helps you find what is best for your weight, health considerations, and sleeping position.
If a mattress is too firm for you, you’ll find added pressure pushing your hips, torso and shoulders out of alignment. This extra pressure can lead to aches and pains and affect your sleep. If you find yourself moving about at night, unable to get comfortable, you may have too firm a mattress. We give you a choice so you can choose from soft, medium firm, firm or extra firm spring tensions.
Medium mattresses are an excellent option if you’re looking for both comfort and support. Remembering to consider weight, sleeping position and targeted pains will allow you to choose the best and enjoy an uninterrupted night’s sleep with no pressure on those key areas such as your hips, shoulders, and lower back.
Cradling sensitive joints and moving as your body moves in your sleep, medium mattresses from Winston’s Beds give you that five-star hotel experience every night in the comfort of your home.
