Your wooden planks that support your mattress on the bed shouldn't be weak at all and shouldn't have big gaps between each one, if so then change your bedding moreso to a flat board support so there are no gaps and no sinking when you get on the bed. Number two is always have a firm matress as humans are naturally supposed to sleep on the floor as it aligns your back so try to mimic the floor. And if you like abit of soft the just get a memory foam topper but make sure your mattress is firm. Summary: 1. Wooden planks should be very strong and shouldn't be too apart. (Suggest changing to flat board) 2. Making sure your mattress is firm only topper should be soft. (Humans naturally are supposed to sleep on a firmer surface)

i feel sleepy laying on the soft couch as asoon as go to my stif bed i cant sleep, anyone have the same issue?

*Q: Who should choose a firm mattress?* A: 4:53 ~ Stomache sleepers (4:55) ~ Back sleepers (5:09) ~ People who sleep on top of their matress (5:27) ~ Heavy sleepers (3:01) ~ People who roll over in their sleep (3:23) ~ People who snore (8:38) ~ Everyone.

Bro you're a g, taking time out of your life to explain mattress's to folks. It helps alot of people out and most people (myself included) wouldn't have enough patience for this. You're a 10, thanks bro.

I prefer firm mattresses, always have. If I sleep on a soft mattress, I wake up with an aching back. However, at some point, firm can be too firm. I slept on an old flippable mattress that was in great shape, and it was too firm, but it was labeled as extra firm. I despise the sensation of memory foam--like sleeping in quick sand.

Get a firm mattress. Your back sinking too much in soft mattress can cause fatigue

Thank you for your definition.I am glad to hear these information.I bought a soft mattress without listening you and it could be a wrong decision. I will change it with medium firm mattress .😀

Soft all the way!!! I have always loved the feeling of sinking into a soft bed, but it is more important to me as I get older with more ached and pains LOL! I really like the feeling of a soft memory foam and it is really wonderful to cushion any sore spots.

I've become obsessed with this channel! simple and great explanations

Nice to know about softer mattresses for side sleepers. I guess after sleeping on a futon for 25 years any thing will be softer for me. I enjoy watching your video's as well since you are on the heavier side it helps me make more informed decisions.

I like how you explain how a firmer mattress may keep you cooler by not syncing so much into the mattress. I've never really liked memory foam and this might explain one of the reasons why I don't care for it.

Thanks for the info, this was helpful.

Haing a bad back I need a firmer mattress and definitely a pocketed coil inner spring base, with a midlayer or two of either micro coils or dense foam, and then a pillow top upper layer.

If you put a layer of egg-crate foam on top of a super firm mattress, you will get both support and comfort. I've been doing this for decades with great results (no back pain).

I have an old, 10 yrs or more, Dresdan by Beautyrest Sealy mattress. One of top line at the time. When I bought it, it wasn't the extra plush but was called plush. Which was one firmer and still plush. I like it a lot. It was a pillowtop that felt a lil cradle but also firm. Would you say the Helix Midnight was a good comparison to my old mattress?

This was very helpful I weigh 200 pounds and I'm sleeping on a plush and I'm going to get a new bed tomorrow cause I thought soft was what I needed but I didn't really think of weight. I do sleep on my side and stomach I'm sure I'll be alright with a firm or medium firm. Thanks for this video

Thank you. Very informative. I lean towards the medium-firm mattresses because I favor my stomach. However, I am a combo sleeper at times, on my back and sides and share the bed with my wife who sleeps on her side. So, for us, we should compromise on a medium firm is my take away.

How are you feeling after an year since you posted this comment? The firmness could be because the mattress was new, and it needed a breaking period, and your body to get used to it. This usually takes couple of weeks to a month.

I am mostly a side sleeper, but end up in every position throughout the night. I wake up about every 30 minutes to an hour to change positions. For reference, I am petite (115 pounds), sleep alone, and am hot natured. have had 2 major shoulder surgeries, but I prefer to sleep on my side which is painful. Throughout my journey, I have tried a Stearns and Foster (too hot and too much cradling/sinking) vispring elite (also too hot and uncomfortable), and currently I am on my trial period for the new purple restore premier firm. My main issue is that everything I try sleeps hot. The other issue is that once I get a new mattress, it feels incredibly comfortable. After a few days go by and the mattress begins to “break in” and the initial cushioning goes down, I am in excruciating pain. The purple mattress I currently have has been the only thing I have tried that doesn’t have me burning up after an hour, but while lying on my back it is too soft from my hips sinking, and on my side my shoulders do not sink enough and I wake up often to change positions. Every morning my body feels all out of wack. If I sleep on my back, I need a medium firm mattress, and if I’m on my side, I need a softer mattress. I do not like memory foam due to sleeping hot, and I prefer to be on vs in the mattress. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in years, and could really use some advice on where to go from here.

For me, soft mattress. I’m a strict side sleeper and need a softer bed for pressure relief and i kinda like to sink into my bed a little. I think a medium soft is the sweet spot for me, soft enough for comfort and still has the proper support that i need. I’m 150 lbs and especially like a hybrid mattress with coils for even better support👍

I am 120 lbs and i have alot of pressure points and lower back pain.... Im thinking a soft hybrid or memory foam.. maybe the layla? thanks for the info!

Hi I am 5’3 and weigh 98lbs. I sleep on my back/side/stomach pretty equally. I am having a hard time deciding on whether or not to get a bed that is a 4/10 or a 6/10 on the scale. Any advice?

The best bed I ever slept in was at a hotel in Rochester, Mn about 15 years ago. It had to be the softest bed ever, I laid on it and sank, I never wanted to come out of this bed, it was so comfortable, I had one of the best nights sleep, anyone have a clue what type of bed this would be?

Super information

I feel like a firmer mattress is better for couple to avoid feeling the movement ?

I find that firm mattresses are like sleeping on concrete, but also it's nothing like concrete and it's also a really comfortable (not) concrete. I love my firm matress rated 8. And I'm also side sleeper so, comfort is subjective. I hope that I won't have to go back to soft matress at some point in my life
