What is a medium firm mattress?
Combining lush comfort and sleep support, medium firm mattresses offer the perfect middle ground between soft and firm mattresses.
You still get to enjoy that lovely cushioned feeling when you lie down (without sinking in too deeply), coupled with a reassuring firmness that keeps your spine aligned. It’s a particularly popular compromise for couples who have different sleep styles, or those looking to buy a spare bed that keeps every guest happy.
Whether you’re a side sleeper, front sleeper, or a bit of both, our medium mattresses ensure you can always enjoy a good night’s sleep.
What’s the best type of medium mattress?
Medium firmness sounds like the perfect fit for your sleep style? Great! Now you just need to choose the right type of mattress.
In our collection, you can enjoy the dreamy body-contouring comfort of a memory foam mattress, which only gets better with each sleep. You can also browse our pocket-sprung mattresses that help minimise how much you feel your twitchy partner moving around in their sleep – the perfect choice for couples!
If you fancy treating yourself to a little bit of luxury, our medium mattress collection features a whole host of trusted brands, like Silentnight, Sleepeezee, Harrison Spinks, and Sealy.
What medium mattress sizes are available?
Once you’ve settled on the mattress type of your dreams, you’ll need to pick the right size.
For kids’ beds, spare rooms, and solo sleepers, cosy single mattresses are suitable, while double mattresses are the classic go-to choice for couples who don’t want to overwhelm their bedroom. If you have the space to spare, then there’s also king size and super king size mattresses that really let you stretch out at night.
Remember to measure your bed frame before buying a mattress to ensure you get the perfect fit. For more information, head over to our beds and mattresses size guide.
Is a medium firm mattress good for back pain?
Yes! Many experts recommend a medium firm mattress for those who are trying to sleep with back pain.
They offer similar support to a firm mattress, just with a little extra give, helping to ease pressure on your spine, muscles, and joints. Plus, with options like memory foam and pocket sprung available, you can choose the type of cushioning that feels best for your body.
