Softer Mattresses

Why choose a soft mattress?

There are so many reasons why a soft mattress could be the right pick for you:

• Soft mattresses are ideal for those of a lighter build, as they don’t need the extra support a firmer mattress would provide. 

• Mattresses with extra softness can be more comforting and aid with nodding off - a softer mattress is perfect for those who have difficulty getting settled at nighttime.

• Our specialist soft orthopaedic mattress is also great for back and joint pain.

• If you’re on a budget, our affordable selection will give you a good night’s sleep without costing a fortune.

Who are soft mattresses best for?

Is a soft mattress good for side sleepers?

A soft mattress is arguably the best mattress for side sleepers, perfect for creating a comfortable sleeping environment for those who naturally assume this position. Soft mattresses keep your spine correctly aligned while you sleep by allowing your shoulder and hip to sink deeper into the mattress.

With your spine aligned by the soft mattress firmness level, you’re more likely to get a peaceful and restful night’s sleep, free from interruptions caused by aches and pains associated with a poor sleeping posture.

Are soft mattresses suitable for children?

A soft mattress is perfectly suitable for children’s beds, for similar reasons to the benefits of a soft mattress for side sleepers. As a child’s bones are still forming and growing, a soft bed mattress aids with their posture and spine alignment, providing a good night’s sleep.

A soft single mattress is also great for restless sleepers, aiding those who stir in the night due to the enhanced comfort of a soft plush mattress. Our range features all the small-sized soft mattresses your little ones need to send them to dreamland.

Is a soft mattress good for back pain?

One of the best mattresses for lower back pain, soft mattresses conform to the natural curves of the body, aligning the joints and providing support to the spine. It’s a common misconception that a firm mattress is always better for back pain. 

Many fear that a softer mattress equates to a bad back. This is a myth which has been busted by our contemporary soft mattress designs. The perfect mattress for older people, utilising a soft bed mattress can reduce back pain and provide pain relief for those struggling with aching joints.

How soft should my mattress be?

The right mattress is a very personal choice that depends on several factors. You’ll need to consider your size, your weight, your sleeping position, and your preference. You’ll also have to consider whether you have any back issues, as a firmer mattress may help to provide you with additional support. The tension of a mattress usually falls into three main groups – soft, medium, and firm. 

As well as these you’ll also have variations including medium firm and extra firm. Your weight will determine what level of firmness provides you with the best support. Someone who weighs around 10 stone will find a firm or extra-firm mattress a little hard. Someone who weighs around 18 stone or over will find a soft mattress offers little support. If you want more support but like a softer feel, a good combination would be a medium-firm mattress or firm mattress with a soft mattress topper.

What is the softest type of mattress?

Latex mattresses are one of the most popular types of soft mattresses available. Our latex-backed mattresses offer a luxurious touch. From pocket sprung to memory foam, our soft mattress range comes in a variety of mattress types to suit all requirements. 

Whether you prefer a mattress you can sink into, or one which holds your body up, the volume of cheap soft mattresses on offer will give you the key to unlock the best night’s sleep possible. To further enhance the comfort and elegance of your mattress, our mattress toppers and duvets are the finishing touches that your soft mattress needs.

Are memory foam mattresses soft?

Memory foam mattresses are the pinnacle of sleep technology, innovatively contouring to the shape of an individual’s body on contact. Available in all sizes, our soft memory foam mattresses are less firm in comparison to their pocket-sprung counterparts, with a cushioned finish which offers superb lumbar support. These hypoallergenic mattresses promote a correct spinal alignment and are highly effective at absorbing movement.

While memory foam mattresses can be purchased in a range of firmness levels, from medium-soft to firm, our range of soft memory foam mattresses is an incredibly popular choice.
