Believe it or not. I've been sleeping on the floor for 16 years. Hardwood floor, and I finally got a bed and lemme tell you....my bed feels like heaven.
Funny I’ve been sleeping on a bed for all my life and the floor feels amazing I don’t know what bed you have but my bed doesn’t really support me so thenfloor is super comfortable I need a firmer mattress
Your wooden planks that support your mattress on the bed shouldn't be weak at all and shouldn't have big gaps between each one, if so then change your bedding moreso to a flat board support so there are no gaps and no sinking when you get on the bed. Number two is always have a firm matress as humans are naturally supposed to sleep on the floor as it aligns your back so try to mimic the floor. And if you like abit of soft the just get a memory foam topper but make sure your mattress is firm. Summary: 1. Wooden planks should be very strong and shouldn't be too apart. (Suggest changing to flat board) 2. Making sure your mattress is firm only topper should be soft. (Humans naturally are supposed to sleep on a firmer surface)
Bro you're a g, taking time out of your life to explain mattress's to folks. It helps alot of people out and most people (myself included) wouldn't have enough patience for this. You're a 10, thanks bro.
*Q: Who should choose a firm mattress?* A: 4:53 ~ Stomache sleepers (4:55) ~ Back sleepers (5:09) ~ People who sleep on top of their matress (5:27) ~ Heavy sleepers (3:01) ~ People who roll over in their sleep (3:23) ~ People who snore (8:38) ~ Everyone.
I prefer firm mattresses, always have. If I sleep on a soft mattress, I wake up with an aching back. However, at some point, firm can be too firm. I slept on an old flippable mattress that was in great shape, and it was too firm, but it was labeled as extra firm. I despise the sensation of memory foam--like sleeping in quick sand.
I thought firm mattresses were healthier, but naturally loved the sinking in feeling of being a side sleeper on a softer mattress, so I was always conflicted. But, I’m glad you said one isn’t definitely better than the other!
Got a soft Mattress great for a few months now I have back pain ever since. I can't take it anymore time to get a firm Mattress. What I have been using for year before I got a foam one. Worst purchase ever.
I used to have a soft mattress, it was very uncomfortable when me and my partner would sleep together, I always woke up with a backache! I got a firm mattress and it fixed the problem
Soft all the way!!! I have always loved the feeling of sinking into a soft bed, but it is more important to me as I get older with more ached and pains LOL! I really like the feeling of a soft memory foam and it is really wonderful to cushion any sore spots.
@@stormtrooper9839that’s something I’m willing to sacrifice in the summers. But a soft mattress is great for winter it retains all the body heat. I absolutely love soft beds every time I try to sleep in a firm bed it’s so uncomfortable
Soft mattress really isn't good for you. It ruins your body's posture and can create problems like back pain and so on.. It's better with a firm mattress or medium-firm and then just have a good softer top that removes pressure. There just isn't any good support with soft mattress.
I'm 110 lbs, combo sleeper, I recently got a firm mattress and my back is killing me! i'm really not sleeping well on it. But i also don't like the feeling of sinking in either. Should I consider a semi-firm? with or without springs? thanks a lot for the help!
How are you feeling after an year since you posted this comment? The firmness could be because the mattress was new, and it needed a breaking period, and your body to get used to it. This usually takes couple of weeks to a month.
In my experience I got a extra firm latex mattress because I wanted that extra support and while it felt good at store my body ached after sleeping on it. I topped it off with a soft topper and now feels amazing
As A side sleeper SOFT AND PLUSH FOR ME> I need that extra cushion on my shoulder when I sleep. LIke the Layla, Layla Hybrid, Helix Sunset, Casper Nova Hybrid, Nest Alexandria signature Hybrid in the PLUSH, PUFFY ROYAL, Well you get the Idea..lol
I like how you explain how a firmer mattress may keep you cooler by not syncing so much into the mattress. I've never really liked memory foam and this might explain one of the reasons why I don't care for it.
Thank you! Great Video! You've answered a lot of the questions I wanted answered! You've made my decision a lot easier in decided what mattress to buy, I'll go for something in-between soft and firm.
Thank you. Very informative. I lean towards the medium-firm mattresses because I favor my stomach. However, I am a combo sleeper at times, on my back and sides and share the bed with my wife who sleeps on her side. So, for us, we should compromise on a medium firm is my take away.
If you put a layer of egg-crate foam on top of a super firm mattress, you will get both support and comfort. I've been doing this for decades with great results (no back pain).
@@anandksrao I think egg-crate foam comes in only one thickness, but different sizes to accommodate mattress size. I've never felt a need to replace the egg-crate foam (the spikey part goes up). You can find it on Amazon.
The materials vary. Memory foam (4") is great. Mine's regular foam (4"). I'll get memory foam when I get around to it. Gel is also available, but I've not tried it.
Im a 170lbs strick side sleeper .took adive from every u tuber and purchased a medium firm. Big mistake !! Firm or exta firm is all i will ever purchase for now on ...
Haing a bad back I need a firmer mattress and definitely a pocketed coil inner spring base, with a midlayer or two of either micro coils or dense foam, and then a pillow top upper layer.
I've been sleeping on a soft memory foam for years and my grandparents had a firm memory foam that they were getting rid of and I thought I would try it out because it was a newer mattress and let me tell you I woke up in the middle of the night with severe back pain and the next day at work I hurt so bad it felt like I had the flu! I immediately switched back to my other mattress and I felt so much better
I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to find the best bed/softness level. I’m 5’6”, 140. I prefer sleeping on my stomach, sometimes side, and sleep very hot. My issue is I prefer softer beds but have to be careful with back pain when too soft, and shoulder pain when too firm. I think I’m looking for a 5.5-6.0 hybrid bed, but not sure. Can you recommend a mattress for me?
Everyone keeps telling me firm mattresses are the way to go but there so uncomfortable to me. I need the mattress to have some give. My back just hurts on a firm mattress and I like to sleep on my side. I’ve been sleeping on soft mattresses all my life and my spine is perfectly fine.
Great videos! What mattress would you recommend for a 100 lb, stomach-side sleeper, that has 0 voc's? (bonus if it is bamboo, and the company uses good environmental practices.) Thank you!

I had a firm mattress for 11 years and we just got a really nice dream cloud and I don’t know if I like it. I wake up with slight back pain. Only on day 4 so will keep u updated 😂
I find that firm mattresses are like sleeping on concrete, but also it's nothing like concrete and it's also a really comfortable (not) concrete. I love my firm matress rated 8. And I'm also side sleeper so, comfort is subjective. I hope that I won't have to go back to soft matress at some point in my life
For me, soft mattress. I’m a strict side sleeper and need a softer bed for pressure relief and i kinda like to sink into my bed a little. I think a medium soft is the sweet spot for me, soft enough for comfort and still has the proper support that i need. I’m 150 lbs and especially like a hybrid mattress with coils for even better support👍
Hi, I want a recommendation for my mattress. I am a side sleeper, sometimes feel pain in the morning, andlike the cloud like feeling however I move around a lot at night so what do you think the best for me?
Nice to know about softer mattresses for side sleepers. I guess after sleeping on a futon for 25 years any thing will be softer for me. I enjoy watching your video's as well since you are on the heavier side it helps me make more informed decisions.
This was very helpful I weigh 200 pounds and I'm sleeping on a plush and I'm going to get a new bed tomorrow cause I thought soft was what I needed but I didn't really think of weight. I do sleep on my side and stomach I'm sure I'll be alright with a firm or medium firm. Thanks for this video
The best bed I ever slept in was at a hotel in Rochester, Mn about 15 years ago. It had to be the softest bed ever, I laid on it and sank, I never wanted to come out of this bed, it was so comfortable, I had one of the best nights sleep, anyone have a clue what type of bed this would be?
im a stomach sleeper i punch peoples stomachs and put them to sleep, no i mean i sleep on my stomach, for years i slept on a couch and my back would bend this was an old couch so i later aquired lower back pain, i started to sleep on bricks, no i mean i later got a really firm mattress because of my lower back pain and what i actually needed i feel is a soft mattress or balanced definitely not firm specially because its all springs i can feel on my cheek when putting my stomach to sleep
I've been using a spring mattress all my life, it's firm, I like to lay on it after a hard day cuz the firmness feels good for my back. But recently I've been looking at the Purple mattress (which is soft?) and just ordered one, I'm scared I won't like it, I'm having them remove my old mattress as well so it's all or nothing 😅
@@iDTecKt it's been great! Not sure if it's worth the hype though. Just feels like a normal bed to me. But it actually has been super helpful for my body, no not aches and pains. I guess a firm mattress wasn't really for me. I got the purple 3
My husband is a strict side sleeper but he does not like soft mattresses or memory foam. It causes him pain, but he has to sleep on his side and says he gets better sleep with firm mattresses
Excellent explanation I wish you could do the same thing regarding pillows I have purchased a nectar mattress and am a side sleeper but can't get the correct height/thickness on the pillows! I'm trying and my neck is always hurting..😒
I have an old, 10 yrs or more, Dresdan by Beautyrest Sealy mattress. One of top line at the time. When I bought it, it wasn't the extra plush but was called plush. Which was one firmer and still plush. I like it a lot. It was a pillowtop that felt a lil cradle but also firm. Would you say the Helix Midnight was a good comparison to my old mattress?
1. I have a bad back 2. I'm mostly a stomach sleeper (I try to side-sleep but usually wake up on my stomach) 3. I toss and turn quite a bit Not sure if I should: Buy a soft mattress to sink into, to help stop myself from tossing/turning/stomach sleeping, or Buy a firm mattress so that I can sleep comfortably with my current habits Any advice, anyone? (6'3", 210lbs)
Hello! If you mostly sleep on your stomach, you're going to want a firm mattress to give you the support you need. If you get a soft mattress, that back pain could get even worse.
I have a soft bed now... and my back is killing me... i am going firm all the way! im at 250 and i tried the tempurpedic proadapt firm and thought i went to heaven... felt great and i would put it on a 8-9 for firmness
Tbh I’m not able to tell the difference between these two option’s, I’ve bought an expensive mattress of medium firm for like 899$ and it hurts my back the first time i slept on, the next day i went back to my 99$ mattress (which i honestly don’t know if it’s firm or medium firm/soft) I’m not sure…
i really want to get a firm one so it forces me to sleep on my back. But naturally i keep rolling over on my side when i sleep and if i have a firm matress i will just wake up less recovered

@@tobaolayemi7653 I bought a Starns and Foster innerspring Lux mattress that is firm but Im about to purchase a new one bc our backs cannot take it anymore. Too much pain. Husband and I are both side sleepers and didnt realize which mattress we should be looking at until now
Gimmie a firm mattress anyday I've got one these memory foam firm mattress it's anything but firm! Sink into it one ends deformed roll off it so need to turn it round and the springs are digging in to my side and it wasn't cheap! It's 6 months old so new mat yet again! One thing done buy online go test them save alot bother!
I just ordered a new mattress from Mattress Firm and I got a medium mattress. I didn't want a firm hard mattress. I'm a stomach and side sleeper so I think medium mattress is great. I'm also a cold sleeper.
I spend a lot of time in bed on a count of being bedbound and I plan on getting a new double bed and am looking for a mattress What would u recommend so I don’t end up getting bedsores ?
I want a soft mattress. I normally sleep on my belly but right now that I’m pregnant I sleep more on my side which one would be best? I’m on the heavier side. 200 lbs not pregnant lol
Thank you for your definition.I am glad to hear these information.I bought a soft mattress without listening you and it could be a wrong decision. I will change it with medium firm mattress .😀
im a side sleeper but i also don’t like feeling like i’m sleeping inside the bed. I like sleeping on top of the mattress. I’m so confused on what to get.
I am 120 lbs and i have alot of pressure points and lower back pain.... Im thinking a soft hybrid or memory foam.. maybe the layla? thanks for the info!
I’ve been using a firm mattress for years and have had horrible back pain and sleepless nights. I finally tried a medium firm and I actually feel comfortable and not nearly as tough falling asleep as a back sleeper.
MANDAL IKEA bed frames are not compatible with any other bed lattes. The included lattes are wooden planks, and according to IKEA bed experts should NEVER be used with Foam/Latex mattresses (i.e. 50% of ikea mattresses). The bed lattes that are provided do not absorb any shock from the mattress and can cause sleeping problems and back pain.
Would like a mattress that isn’t tooooo firm, I like soft, I have a one in a million neurological condition and was recommended a tempur pure foam “top of the range” mattress. It was horrendous as I could not move or roll over in the middle of the night. I also have quite bony hips due to my condition. I also sleep hot! And a side sleeper predominately. Please help! There’s so many to choose from and all the reviews contradict each other. **please help me**

I am mostly a side sleeper, but end up in every position throughout the night. I wake up about every 30 minutes to an hour to change positions. For reference, I am petite (115 pounds), sleep alone, and am hot natured. have had 2 major shoulder surgeries, but I prefer to sleep on my side which is painful. Throughout my journey, I have tried a Stearns and Foster (too hot and too much cradling/sinking) vispring elite (also too hot and uncomfortable), and currently I am on my trial period for the new purple restore premier firm. My main issue is that everything I try sleeps hot. The other issue is that once I get a new mattress, it feels incredibly comfortable. After a few days go by and the mattress begins to “break in” and the initial cushioning goes down, I am in excruciating pain. The purple mattress I currently have has been the only thing I have tried that doesn’t have me burning up after an hour, but while lying on my back it is too soft from my hips sinking, and on my side my shoulders do not sink enough and I wake up often to change positions. Every morning my body feels all out of wack. If I sleep on my back, I need a medium firm mattress, and if I’m on my side, I need a softer mattress. I do not like memory foam due to sleeping hot, and I prefer to be on vs in the mattress. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in years, and could really use some advice on where to go from here.
Lol at this point any mattress will do the one I currently have has a dip in the center with a more or less one ince hole exposing one of the springs my back is killing me but I am a side sleeper so I'll take in consideration the soft mattress on Sunday when I go out and buy a mattress for the fisrt time

im a stomach sleeper i punch peoples stomachs and put them to sleep, no i mean i sleep on my stomach, for years i slept on a couch and my back would bend this was an old couch so i later aquired lower back pain, i started to sleep on bricks, no i mean i later got a really firm mattress because of my lower back pain and what i actually needed i feel is a soft mattress or balanced definitely not firm specially because its all springs i can feel on my cheek when putting my stomach to sleep
I've been using a spring mattress all my life, it's firm, I like to lay on it after a hard day cuz the firmness feels good for my back. But recently I've been looking at the Purple mattress (which is soft?) and just ordered one, I'm scared I won't like it, I'm having them remove my old mattress as well so it's all or nothing 😅
How did you get on with the softer mattress?
@@iDTecKt it's been great! Not sure if it's worth the hype though. Just feels like a normal bed to me. But it actually has been super helpful for my body, no not aches and pains. I guess a firm mattress wasn't really for me. I got the purple 3
My husband is a strict side sleeper but he does not like soft mattresses or memory foam. It causes him pain, but he has to sleep on his side and says he gets better sleep with firm mattresses
So informative thank you so much! ☺️
Excellent explanation I wish you could do the same thing regarding pillows I have purchased a nectar mattress and am a side sleeper but can't get the correct height/thickness on the pillows! I'm trying and my neck is always hurting..😒
How do u like the hector
Nectar
What mattress is best if you have sensitive or constant pain in your heals
sounds like plantar faciitis. Have you seen a podiatrist about your heel pain?
Had a medium firm Serta for 17 yrs...my next is gonna be .Softer for sure 🫠🫠
I have an old, 10 yrs or more, Dresdan by Beautyrest Sealy mattress. One of top line at the time. When I bought it, it wasn't the extra plush but was called plush. Which was one firmer and still plush. I like it a lot. It was a pillowtop that felt a lil cradle but also firm. Would you say the Helix Midnight was a good comparison to my old mattress?
1. I have a bad back
2. I'm mostly a stomach sleeper (I try to side-sleep but usually wake up on my stomach)
3. I toss and turn quite a bit
Not sure if I should:
Buy a soft mattress to sink into, to help stop myself from tossing/turning/stomach sleeping, or
Buy a firm mattress so that I can sleep comfortably with my current habits
Any advice, anyone? (6'3", 210lbs)
Hello! If you mostly sleep on your stomach, you're going to want a firm mattress to give you the support you need. If you get a soft mattress, that back pain could get even worse.
I have a soft bed now... and my back is killing me... i am going firm all the way! im at 250 and i tried the tempurpedic proadapt firm and thought i went to heaven... felt great and i would put it on a 8-9 for firmness
Tbh I’m not able to tell the difference between these two option’s, I’ve bought an expensive mattress of medium firm for like 899$ and it hurts my back the first time i slept on, the next day i went back to my 99$ mattress (which i honestly don’t know if it’s firm or medium firm/soft) I’m not sure…
I've become obsessed with this channel! simple and great explanations
I love my firm mattress
I have a firm bed and a soft bed, iv noticed that on the firm bed I'm always sleeping on my back, softer bed on my side
Hummm
perfect video good job
Thank you very much!
What if you are a stomach sleeper but very lightweight
i really want to get a firm one so it forces me to sleep on my back. But naturally i keep rolling over on my side when i sleep and if i have a firm matress i will just wake up less recovered
ive been sleepping on the floor for 2 years now , thinking of getting a bed
Your wooden planks that support your mattress on the bed shouldn't be weak at all and shouldn't have big gaps between each one, if so then change your bedding moreso to a flat board support so there are no gaps and no sinking when you get on the bed. Number two is always have a firm matress as humans are naturally supposed to sleep on the floor as it aligns your back so try to mimic the floor. And if you like abit of soft the just get a memory foam topper but make sure your mattress is firm.
Summary:
1. Wooden planks should be very strong and shouldn't be too apart. (Suggest changing to flat board)
2. Making sure your mattress is firm only topper should be soft. (Humans naturally are supposed to sleep on a firmer surface)
Hope this helps. 😅
if you want to tho, get a soft mattress. Firm mattresses really messed up my back :'(
It’s me at the end of the video still not knowing which is best for me lmao
What type of mattress is best for a 340 lb side sleeper? Thanks.
firm
Thanks for the video
I wish I had found you before I bought this mattress 🤦🏼♀️
which did u buy pls
@@tobaolayemi7653 I bought a Starns and Foster innerspring Lux mattress that is firm but Im about to purchase a new one bc our backs cannot take it anymore. Too much pain. Husband and I are both side sleepers and didnt realize which mattress we should be looking at until now
I despise soft mattress cause it makes me warm and feeling warm 🥵 gives me anxiety especially in summer
Firm mattress for meee
I think I'm gonna get a hammock
Gimmie a firm mattress anyday I've got one these memory foam firm mattress it's anything but firm! Sink into it one ends deformed roll off it so need to turn it round and the springs are digging in to my side and it wasn't cheap! It's 6 months old so new mat yet again! One thing done buy online go test them save alot bother!
SOFT. Soft is always better for me as a side sleeper So I need soft plush and lush and supportive. Thanks for all your reviews.
Me who sleeps both side and stomach:
I just ordered a new mattress from Mattress Firm and I got a medium mattress. I didn't want a firm hard mattress. I'm a stomach and side sleeper so I think medium mattress is great. I'm also a cold sleeper.
How's it been treating you after a year? I sleep side and stomach, so I'm leaning towards medium and firm
@@daricodude3555 It's amazing especially for the price. I paid $250 for it lol.
Don't forget height too. The taller you are the more area your weight is distributed and the more likely you will stay on top of the mattress.
I’m a side sleeper so softer the better!
Stephen Ouellette lol same but my parents got me a firm one smh
I spend a lot of time in bed on a count of being bedbound and I plan on getting a new double bed and am looking for a mattress
What would u recommend so I don’t end up getting bedsores ?
So I have joint pain, am a side sleeper who is a restless sleeper. Which is recommended for me?
I learned a lot watching this. Thank you!!
I feel like a firmer mattress is better for couple to avoid feeling the movement ?
This was very useful and well explained, thanks very much for uploading it! 😎
i got a super hard mattress and literally can never sleep i hate it so much 😢
I want a soft mattress. I normally sleep on my belly but right now that I’m pregnant I sleep more on my side which one would be best? I’m on the heavier side. 200 lbs not pregnant lol
Need a recommendation I sleep on my side and stomach would you recommend medium firm ?
Thank you for your definition.I am glad to hear these information.I bought a soft mattress without listening you and it could be a wrong decision. I will change it with medium firm mattress .😀
im a side sleeper but i also don’t like feeling like i’m sleeping inside the bed. I like sleeping on top of the mattress. I’m so confused on what to get.
I am 120 lbs and i have alot of pressure points and lower back pain.... Im thinking a soft hybrid or memory foam.. maybe the layla? thanks for the info!
I’ve been using a firm mattress for years and have had horrible back pain and sleepless nights. I finally tried a medium firm and I actually feel comfortable and not nearly as tough falling asleep as a back sleeper.
I love firm ,soft gives me anxiety like I am sinking
Memory foam is THE WORST for having sex! Yeah, I said it! Feels like you're on quicksand!
I like 7 and 10
👍🏾
I find it harder too sleep on a firm mattress🛏️😴😭
What if you have back pain and a side sleeper?
I'm watching this sitting on my bed😂
MANDAL IKEA bed frames are not compatible with any other bed lattes. The included lattes are wooden planks, and according to IKEA bed experts should NEVER be used with Foam/Latex mattresses (i.e. 50% of ikea mattresses). The bed lattes that are provided do not absorb any shock from the mattress and can cause sleeping problems and back pain.
Would like a mattress that isn’t tooooo firm, I like soft, I have a one in a million neurological condition and was recommended a tempur pure foam “top of the range” mattress. It was horrendous as I could not move or roll over in the middle of the night. I also have quite bony hips due to my condition. I also sleep hot! And a side sleeper predominately. Please help! There’s so many to choose from and all the reviews contradict each other. **please help me**

Need an in-betweenn do both sleeping methods. 👀
I am mostly a side sleeper, but end up in every position throughout the night. I wake up about every 30 minutes to an hour to change positions. For reference, I am petite (115 pounds), sleep alone, and am hot natured. have had 2 major shoulder surgeries, but I prefer to sleep on my side which is painful. Throughout my journey, I have tried a Stearns and Foster (too hot and too much cradling/sinking) vispring elite (also too hot and uncomfortable), and currently I am on my trial period for the new purple restore premier firm.
My main issue is that everything I try sleeps hot. The other issue is that once I get a new mattress, it feels incredibly comfortable. After a few days go by and the mattress begins to “break in” and the initial cushioning goes down, I am in excruciating pain. The purple mattress I currently have has been the only thing I have tried that doesn’t have me burning up after an hour, but while lying on my back it is too soft from my hips sinking, and on my side my shoulders do not sink enough and I wake up often to change positions.
Every morning my body feels all out of wack. If I sleep on my back, I need a medium firm mattress, and if I’m on my side, I need a softer mattress. I do not like memory foam due to sleeping hot, and I prefer to be on vs in the mattress.
I haven’t had a good nights sleep in years, and could really use some advice on where to go from here.
Lol at this point any mattress will do the one I currently have has a dip in the center with a more or less one ince hole exposing one of the springs my back is killing me but I am a side sleeper so I'll take in consideration the soft mattress on Sunday when I go out and buy a mattress for the fisrt time
