How To Choose The Best Mattress For Your Health

Consider Your Body Weight

For mattress-choosing considerations, an average sleeper weighs between 130 to 230 pounds, and you must consider your body weight to select the ideal mattress. The higher the sleeper's weight is within this range, the firmer the best mattress should be. This holds true with weights above beyond the average range. It boils down to this: the higher the individual's weight, the more firm the mattress should be.

Body shape also comes into play for the distribution of weight. Side sleepers with a broad waist and narrower hips and shoulders, for instance, typically like a medium-firm mattress. Back sleepers with a more hourglass figure of broad shoulders and ships with narrow waist are drawn to medium-firm to firm mattresses. Smaller individuals, those under 130 pounds, gravitate toward softer mattresses, again depending on individual weight distribution and sleeping position.
