Why buy a soft mattress?
A soft mattress typically provides an abundance of pure comfort and pressure relief. This can help to absorb the weight of your body without any hard resistance (like that of a firm mattress).
Many of us can relate to the feel of a soft, ‘cloud-like’ mattress that melts as you sink into it. A soft mattress usually involves thick comfort layers (e.g. foam or latex) on top. For many, this softness is a necessity during sleep.
Soft mattresses are often referred to as ‘plush’. Many in-store mattresses come in 3 different feels – firm, medium, and plush, with plush being the softest.
Soft mattresses are generally recommended for side sleepers, although the ideal mattress firmness will vary between individuals. A soft mattress may also suit some back sleepers and stomach sleepers.
Soft mattresses are often referred to as ‘plush’.
Soft mattresses tend to be more common in western countries (such as Australia) as softness is often associated with luxury and quality. Whilst softness does not always relate to quality, thicker comfort layers do often involve a higher production cost.
