Why Choose a Medium-Firm Mattress?
Medium-firm mattresses offer a unique balance of cushioning and support that appeals to a wide range of sleepers. They provide enough give to contour to your body and relieve pressure points, while still offering the firmness needed to maintain proper spinal alignment. This makes them an excellent choice for back sleepers, combination sleepers, and many individuals with back pain.
Our medium-firm mattresses are crafted with precision, combining our innovative Bio-Pur® memory foam with other supportive layers to create a sleep surface that adapts to your body without sacrificing support. As Dr. Jordan Burns, a chiropractor, recommends the AS2 for its medium-firmness and targeted support zones, highlighting its effectiveness for patients with spinal issues.
“The medium-firm profile is my top recommendation for maintaining proper spinal curvature during sleep,” notes Dr. Devon. “This firmness level offers the ideal balance between too soft, which can allow the spine to bow, and too firm, which can create pressure points at the hips and shoulders.”
