Medium Soft Mattress

A medium soft mattress is halfway between soft and medium firmness. This means it sits on the softer end of the mattress scale but still has more support than a soft mattress.

Soft to medium mattresses will contour to your body throughout the night for a snug feel, making them ideal if you change positions a lot while sleeping or love that ‘sinking into bed' feeling at the end of the day.

The best medium soft mattress depends on your preferences. At Happy Beds, we offer a vast range of different mattress sizes, styles and features so that you can adapt your mattress to your sleeping style.

Soft to medium mattresses are best for people who don't require excessive support throughout the night and those who don't experience back pain. As they're lighter on support, medium soft mattresses will adapt to the shape of your body - this means they're a good choice for side sleepers or those who change position as they sleep.

There are some instances where we'd recommend avoiding softer mattresses, for example, if you’re shopping for a children’s mattress. Children and toddlers require more support overnight as their joints and spines are still developing. Mostly though, the softness or firmness of your mattress comes down to what's comfortable for you.

A medium to soft mattress can be an excellent choice for side sleepers. As you sleep on your side, pressure is placed on your hips and shoulders. Choosing a softer mattress will cushion these pressure points, helping alleviate discomfort. Mattresses that mould around your body, such as foam or latex mattresses, are a great option.

However, a too-soft mattress can cause spinal alignment issues, leading to back pain over time. If you’re heavier, you may opt for a medium firm mattress instead, offering extra support where you need it.
