Medium Firm Mattresses

The Goldilocks of mattresses – not too soft, not too firm – a medium mattress is ideal if you weigh between 57-95kg (9-14 stone). Providing full body support and evenly distributing weight to relieve pressure on hips and shoulders, it’s also the ultimate peacemaker, offering an excellent compromise for couples with differing mattress preferences.

For those who need both support and the benefits of soft cushioning, a medium mattress is for you, as it really does offer the best of both worlds. Couples particularly find medium mattresses the perfect compromise.

What does a medium mattress mean?

A medium mattress refers to a mattress tension that’s between soft and firm. It’s perfectly balanced with a soft sink-in feeling but sturdy support for your body as you sleep. It does this by aligning your spine.

Who should choose a medium mattress?

  • Think about your sleeping position: A medium mattress is ideal for a range of sleepers – whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach.
  • Consider your stature: It’s important to note that a medium mattress is suitable for those of average weight for the correct support as you sleep. For those with larger statures, a firm mattress is the perfect solution.

What are the benefits of a medium mattress?

A medium mattress is designed for balanced support as you sleep. It cushions high pressure points - like hips and shoulders - to relieve and absorb pressure. This also, in turn, supports the lower back by keeping your spine aligned as you sleep.

What types of medium mattresses can I choose from?

Pocket sprung

Each spring in a Pocket sprung mattress works on its own as is sewn into its own pocket. The benefit of this is that it adjusts to your body’s movements for precise, individual support. They also reduce motion transfer so you’re less likely to feel your partner shift during the night. Paired with the medium tension, it’s the perfect option for couples.

Memory foam

Memory foam mattresses respond to your body heat and shape to create a cradling effect that eases tension on your body and supports natural spine alignment. This option is ideal if you want a surface that feels soft yet supportive, helping to relieve pressure as you rest.

Natural fillings

Mattresses made with natural fillings use breathable materials such as wool and cotton to regulate temperature and promote airflow. Natural mattresses give a comfortable, durable, and a smart option for those who prefer hypoallergenic, sustainable bedding that’s also supportive.

Combined or hybrid mattresses

Hybrid mattresses pair the responsiveness of springs with the cosiness of foam, latex, or gel. This blend offers the best of both worlds – expect strong support and soothing comfort on top.

Open coil or traditional springs

Using a network of interconnected springs, an open coil, or traditional spring, mattress delivers a bouncy and supportive sleep to its users. This is the most traditional option for a medium mattress.

Gel mattresses

For those who feel hot when they sleep, a gel mattress is the perfect solution. The gel cools you down at night whilst also offering a supportive slumber. A medium gel mattress will adapt to your body contour.

Latex mattresses

Latex medium mattresses are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for allergy sufferers. They’re also cooling and breathable which will cool you as you sleep. Of course, they offer great support for a comfortable sleep too.

What medium mattress sizes are available?

A medium mattress is available in all sizes so everyone can enjoy the benefits of both support and comfort. At Furniture Village, we stock:

And many come with additional supportive features, like cushion tops! Easily find the one that fits your sleep style and your bedroom size in our vast collection.

What if a medium mattress is too firm for me?

If a medium mattress is too firm for you, a soft mattresses could be your perfect match. These are best suited to side sleepers and those with a lighter frame. They contour closely to the body, cushioning pressure points like the hips and shoulders. If you prefer the sensation of gently sinking into your bed, a softer mattress style is likely to suit you best.

What if a medium mattress is too soft for me?

For a more supportive feel that keeps the spine well aligned, a firm mattress is a great alternative to a medium mattress. They’re an excellent choice for back and stomach sleepers who need support without the body sinking deep into the mattress. Similarly, extra firm mattresses are designed for those who need maximum stability as they sleep. This option is especially beneficial for large statures, back sleepers, or anyone dealing with back pain or joint discomfort because it keeps the spine aligned and the body well-supported for a refreshing rest.
