There is a wide range of firmness options available in the Australian mattress market. This ranges from ‘ultra plush’ to ‘super firm’ and everything in between. When it comes to firm mattresses, it’s evident that many Aussies prefer the feel of an unmistakable firm bed.
A firm mattress is usually characterised by thin layers of comfort materials such as memory foam or latex. This reduces the chance of any sinking or dipping, and will generally suit those who spend much of their time sleeping on their back. In many cases, a firmer mattress will provide better back support.
Firm mattresses are common in many Asian countries and is based on the belief that a soft mattress will cause injury and deformity to the spine. Whilst this is a naive generalisation, there seems to be some truth in that soft mattresses don’t provide adequate spinal support.
