Mattress topper firmness level – soft, medium or firm?

The right firmness level determines whether a mattress topper improves your sleep – or not. Too soft can feel unstable, too firm can cause pressure.

This page will help you understand which firmness level is right for you.

What the firmness level of a mattress topper means

With a mattress topper, the degree of firmness does not describe the support strength of the entire sleeping surface, but rather the feel of the surface.

A mattress topper can:

• Reduce pressure
• Balance comfort
• to change the feeling of a mattress that is too hard

However, it does not replace the lack of support provided by a mattress.

soft mattress topper – gentle &pressure-relieving

Typical lying sensation: soft, supple, relieving

Suitable for:

• Side sleepers with shoulder or hip pressure
• People for whom the mattress is clearly too hard
• Lighter people

Less suitable for:

• very high body weight
• strong stability requirements

Medium mattress topper – balanced comfort

Typical lying sensation: balanced, comfortable, stable

Suitable for:

• most sleepers:
• Side and back sleepers
• People who change their sleeping positions

Medium hardness is often the safest choice.

Firm mattress topper – stable && supporting

Typical lying sensation: compact, minimal sinking in

A notice:

Very firm mattress toppers can exacerbate pressure problems and are less frequently recommended.
