Mattress comfort levels are a huge consideration when shopping for a new bed. However, it is very common for mattress shoppers to confuse mattress comfort and mattress support. Keep in mind that support should be your first consideration, followed by comfort. Once you have the proper support system for your sleep needs, then you can choose the best mattress comfort level for you. Comfort levels help you fall asleep, and support offers the proper body alignment that helps keep you stay asleep throughout the night. There are three categories of mattress comfort levels: plush, medium and firm.

There is not an industry standard for any of these three mattress comfort levels. Each category had a range within itself, which is why it is important to test out our patented bedMATCH^® sleep diagnostic system to assure you find the proper support and comfort for your specific sleeping needs. This trusted technology uses scientific calculations and your measurements to suggest beds that are targeted to fit your needs and wants.

Once you have the optimal mattress options according to bedMATCH^®, you can test out your recommended mattresses yourself at a variety of different comfort levels! Our sleep specialists at every store are there as a resource during your mattress shopping experience to provide guidance, product insight, and answer any questions you may have.
