What is a firm mattress?
If you’re looking for a mattress that prioritises long-standing support and improves sleep quality, a firm mattress might be just what you’re looking for.
Tired of fidgety partners keeping you awake until the birds start chirping? A firmer mattress means motion transfer is kept to a minimum, letting you snooze soundly even as your loved one tosses and turns.
A harder surface also helps to support both your lower back area and encourage spine alignment, easing pressure on your back and reducing painful strains and twinges in the morning.
Is a firm mattress good for back pain?
Yes – a firm surface is one of the best mattress choices for sleeping with back pain, helping to fend off painful pinches.
A firmer mattress helps to keep your spine properly aligned as you sleep, reducing the effect of any stiffness or sharp pangs in your back when you wake up. What’s more, our medium firm and extra firm mattresses allow you to tailor your support to what feels the most comfortable for your body.
What firm mattress sizes are available?
Here at DFS, we believe everyone deserves a dreamy night’s sleep. That’s why we offer our firm mattresses in a range of different dimensions.
For the sleeper who loves to sprawl, a super king mattress offers plenty of space for solo snoozers and couples alike to sprawl out to their hearts’ content. Similarly, our king mattresses are ideal for any sleeper whose favourite sleeping position is the starfish – stretch out and sink in!
We also offer double mattresses which are perfect for the guest bedroom, ensuring your guests get a cosy night’s sleep with assured support, too. Equally, our small double and single mattresses help even the most energetic little ones drift off soundly.
You can learn more about choosing the best mattress for your child on the DFS Sleep Hub.
How do I care for my firm mattress?
You should care for your firm mattress just as you would any other mattress.
The easiest time to give your mattress a clean is on duvet washing day. Once you’ve removed all of your bedding, gently brush the mattress to tackle any crumbs, dust or hair that’s collected under your sheets. Try to avoid using a vacuum, as this can displace the mattress filling.
Spotted a stain? Mix together some mild detergent and water, then dab at the mark with a cloth until it’s gone. If possible, you should also try to rotate your mattress top-to-toe every month to keep wear even across the surface.
