Finding Your Perfect Sleep Surface: Soft Mattress or Firm Mattress?
Choosing between a soft mattress and firm mattresses is one of the most important decisions for quality sleep. At Euro Sleep, we understand that comfort preferences vary, which is why we offer both options across different mattress sizes to suit every sleeper. This guide will help you determine which mattress firmness level works best for your sleeping position, body type, and personal preferences.
Understanding Mattress Firmness Levels
The Benefits of a Soft Mattress
A quality soft mattress provides:
✔ Superior pressure relief for joints

Side sleepers (especially hip/shoulder comfort)
-
Petite individuals (<130 lbs)
