Frequently asked questions

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on individual preferences. Some people find that a firm mattress provides better support for their back and joints, while others find a soft mattress more comfortable.

Some things to consider before deciding on the perfect mattress firmness (or 'feel') for you are:

Partner Disturbance: A firmer mattress supported with a solid pocket spring support system is more likely to minimise partner disturbance.

Back pain: Most chiropractors recommend medium-firm, or firm mattresses as the hard surface of firmer mattresses helps to support good spinal alignment and minimises back ailments.

Pressure Points: A softer mattress will help to elevate pressure points in the hips and shoulders, particularly if you are prone to sleeping on your side.

Weight: A person with a lighter weight may prefer a softer mattress as a firm mattress is unlikely to compress under a light weight and won't offer the cushioning and contouring softness that help make mattresses comfortable. On the other hand, a heavier person will get the support and durability they need with a firmer mattress.

Age: Health professionals often recommend a firm to medium-firm mattress feel for younger people as they provide a good, solid foundation while sleeping to support their growing bodies.

When trying out different firmness levels, it's important to remember that not everyone perceives firmness in the same way. What feels firm to one person may feel too hard or uncomfortable to another. So, it's always best to test a few mattresses before making your final decision.

​Chiropedic offers a wide range of mattresses with a firm feel to choose from, so you're sure to find the perfect one for you. Contact our friendly customer service team or visit us in-store today and see how getting the right mattress feel for you can help improve your sleep and overall wellbeing!

The reasons firmer mattresses are often recommended for people suffering from back pain are:

  1. A firmer mattress will maintain its shape better and won’t sag over time, meaning your spine will be more supported.
  2. Firmer mattresses don’t conform as much to the body, which takes some of the pressure off painful areas.
  3. A firm mattress is less likely to cause you to twist and turn in your sleep, which can aggravate back pain.

However, not everyone finds a firm mattress comfortable, so it’s worth trying different firmness levels before you buy. Some research actually suggests that a medium-firm mattress may be best.

If you do have back pain, it’s always a good idea to speak to a chiropractor or other health professional about the best type of mattress for you.

A few telltale signs can indicate whether you have a firm or too firm mattress. One of the most common indicators is back pain. If you experience back pain, stiffness, or soreness after waking up, it might be time to switch to a softer mattress. Additionally, your mattress might be too firm if you find it difficult to change positions in bed or feel like you're sleeping on a rock.

Another way to tell if your mattress is too firm is by using the "push test." Simply press your hand into the mattress. If it's difficult to push down or feels unyielding, then it's likely too firm for you.

If you think your mattress might be too firm, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem. One option is to add a pillow-top layer to the mattress. This will provide additional cushioning and make it softer. Another option is to use a thin mattress pad. This can also help soften a firm mattress. Finally, if you have a firm mattress that's still within its warranty period, you may be able to exchange it for a softer model.

In general, a firm mattress is a good option for people who suffer from back pain. However, if you find that a firm mattress doesn't work for you, it's important to switch to a softer model to avoid further discomfort.

When it comes to hotel mattresses, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some hotels have firm mattresses, while others have softer options. It all depends on the specific hotel and their guests’ preferences.

In Australia, most high-end hotels will provide a mattress with a firmness rating of 6 or 7 out of 10, where 10 is the firmest and 1 is the softest. Mattresses with a score of 9 or 10 are often referred to as a ‘super firm’ or ‘extra firm mattresses’. By comparison, hotel mattresses are considered a 'medium firm' and 'firm', respectively. Mattresses with a firm feel typically:

  • Provide little to no sinkage
  • Won't conform to the body
  • Are preferred by sleepers over 105kg
  • Can be too firm for people under 75kg

If you are looking for a firm mattress while travelling, it is best to ask the hotel in advance about the firmness rating. This will help you make an informed decision about whether the hotel is a good fit for you.

Or, if you've stayed in hotel accommodation and loved the feel of their mattresses - get in touch and find out what mattress firmness they provide. Then you can head over to our mattress feel pages and discover a huge mattress selection in your preferred firmness.

A hard mattress is not necessarily the cause of hip pain, but it could be a factor that contributes to the condition. There are various factors that can contribute to hip pain, including:

  • Joint inflammation
  • Muscle strain
  • Arthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis

Hip pain along with shoulder and neck pressure pain and discomfort is most often attributed to a mattress that is too soft. This is because the hips and shoulders sink too far into the soft mattresses, which creates an unnatural curve in the spine. When this happens, it puts pressure on the discs in your back, leading to pain and poor sleep quality. A firm mattress doesn't have this same effect because it doesn't contour to your body.

If you're experiencing hip pain, it's best to consult with a chiropractor to determine the cause and get advice on how to treat the condition. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include:

  • Changing your mattress firmness to one that will help to gently support your hips
  • Medication
  • Exercise
  • Physical therapy
  • Surgery

When it comes to finding the best firm mattress in Australia, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind.

First, you'll want to ensure that the mattress is made from high-quality materials. This will ensure that it lasts for years and provides you with the support you need.

Second, you'll want to find a mattress that is specifically designed for people who suffer from back pain. This will help to reduce the amount of pain you feel and make it easier to get a good night's sleep.

Finally, you'll want to make sure that there is a Comfort Guarantee so that if the firmness level isn’t to your liking, you can exchange for a mattress with the perfect level of support for your needs.

Chiropedic has some of the best firm mattresses on the market. Featuring high-quality materials and designs that are specifically tailored for people with back pain. We also offer a range of firmness levels, from Firm to Ultra Firm and Extra Firm, allowing you to find the perfect level of support for a better night’s sleep. So, if you're looking for the best firm mattresses in Australia, Chiropedic has just what you're looking for.

There are many different types of mattress firmness on the market these days, and it can be difficult to determine which one is best for you. 

If you are a back sleeper, it is important to find a mattress that is firm enough to support your spine but not so firm that it feels uncomfortable.

There are several types of mattresses that are best suited for back sleepers. In general, firm and super-firm mattresses with pocket springs are considered best, as they provide the most support. 

However, if you find a super-firm mattress to be too hard, you can try a firm latex or foam mattress instead. These types of mattresses conform to your body's shape and offer more cushioning than traditional innerspring mattresses.

If you are still struggling to find the best mattress for you, contact us at Chiropedic. We would be happy to help you find the perfect mattress for your needs.
