Category: Mattress by Sleeper
Firmness is not a preference so much as a consequence of how you sleep and what you weigh. Side sleepers need the shoulder and hip to sink; stomach sleepers need the hips held up; heavier sleepers need support layers that do not bottom out in two years. These guides work from the sleeper back to the specification, rather than from a brand forward. Pillows matter here too, because the loft that fills your shoulder gap changes what firmness you need underneath.
