As a rule, you can come across four mattress firmnesses. The T or H symbol is used to indicate the firmness of the mattress, so you will most often see T1 for a soft mattress, T2 for a medium soft mattress, T3 for a medium firm mattress and T4 for a firm mattress. Sometimes there are five levels of firmness, so hard mattresses are marked as T4 and T5, but you may also see seven levels of firmness. You can learn more about mattress firmness in this article.
You may have come across the statement that the harder the mattress, the better. However, this is not entirely true, as a person who weighs 50 kg needs a different mattress and a person who weighs 150 kg needs a different mattress. A hard mattress is especially suitable for overweight people and also for people suffering from back problems.
There are also mattresses on the market with a high load capacity that are designed for people weighing from 150 kg to 200 kg. For people up to 150 kg, a hard mattress labeled T4 is ideal, and for people over 150 kg, a very hard mattress labeled T5 is ideal. Experts recommend choosing a mattress with a load capacity that exceeds body weight by at least 5 kg. A mattress with a lower weight capacity would not provide enough support for your body and would also soon sag.
How do you know if you have chosen the right mattress firmness? Lie on the mattress on your back and try to insert your palm into the gap created between the mattress and your spine at the sacrum. If the gap is large enough to accommodate your whole palm and there is still space between the mattress and your back, the mattress is too hard. A soft mattress can be identified by the palm not fitting into the gap at all.
If the mattress you choose is too hard, it will put excessive pressure on your joints, spine and limbs, which can cause circulatory problems. A mattress that is too hard can cause you to get up in the morning with back and cervical spine pain, and you may also struggle with tingling or numbness in your limbs. Additionally, when lying on your side, a hard mattress doesn’t allow your broad shoulders and hips to naturally dig into the mattress, leaving your spine without enough support while you sleep. Sleeping on a poor quality mattress can also lead to mood swings, irritability and nervousness.
