If side-sleeping is most common, why aren’t soft mattresses more popular than firm ones?

562 viewsOther

While I’ve been on the hunt for a new mattress (soft, as I’m a hypermobile side sleeper and medium to firm mattresses make me bruise and sublux) I’ve learnt a few things: side sleeping is the most common sleeping position, while medium-firm is the most popular mattress firmness. Softer mattresses are much harder to come by. However, soft mattresses are also supposedly the best for side-sleepers while medium-firm is for back sleepers and firm is for stomach sleepers, so how does this work together? Are most people sleeping on the wrong mattress?

Mattress companies probably make more medium-firm mattresses because they’re trying to hit that “just right” Goldilocks zone for the average person. Soft mattresses are great for side sleepers but they can wear out quicker and might not offer enough support for everyone. økonomisk beslutning muligvis?
