To find the sleeping solution with the right firmness rating for you depends on what your preferred sleeping position is. Because a medium mattress is on the softer end of the spectrum, people who prefer to sleep on their side are recommended for this mattress firmness. Cushioning can be provided to pressure points such as the shoulders and hips, promoting healthy spine alignment and a great night's sleep.

If you sleep in a variety of sleeping positions throughout the night, a medium firm mattress is best designed for you. The best medium firm mattress is neither too soft nor too firm to support you when you sleep on your back, front or side. Preferred back or stomach sleepers are generally recommended to sleep on firm mattresses whilst anyone affected by back or joint pains are likely to be best suited to an orthopaedic mattress that is extra firm.

Our range of pocket sprung mattresses are fantastic for preferred side sleepers, as each spring moves independently allowing for the mattress surface to move to the contours of your body shape. Not only does this make for a comfortable night's sleep, but will support you throughout the night and address all your sleeping needs.

For a more affordable option that provides similar support to a pocket sprung mattress, our range of open coil mattresses are fantastic. Made up of a continuous wire forming the spring unit, an open coil mattress is cheaper to produce which makes it a superb budget option. In comparison to a pocket sprung option, open coil mattresses are less durable and have a shorter longevity.

One of our most popular mattresses, our range of medium memory foam mattresses are brilliant for anyone who loves that sinking in feeling. Comprised of millions of tiny holes that seep out air when pressure is applied, memory foam is known for body-moulding support and providing some of the best medium firmness support. 

Here at Mattresman, our wide variety of mattress types ensures there's an option for every kind of sleeper out there. Alongside the mattresses described above, we also stock latex, reflex foam, Geltex and hybrid options. Latex is a fantastic natural mattress that is anti-allergy and more breathable than the memory foam counterpart. The same can also be said for reflex foam and Geltex, with less heat retention it makes for a mattress that provides a much cooler night's sleep. If you want to reap the benefits of multiple mattress types a hybrid option is the ideal choice, often combining a traditionally sprung mattress with memory foam, Geltex, latex or reflex foam. 

Finding the right mattress for you isn't just about what spring type is right for you, but what fillings are going to work best for you too. If you are affected by hayfever or dust mite allergies, our advice is to opt for a mattress with synthetic or polyester fillings. The pore sizes of these fibres are tighter, which make it harder for dust mites to pass through and build up.

If you don't suffer from hayfever, then you can take advantage of mattresses with natural fillings. Wool, cotton, silk, cashmere and many other natural fillings have amazing properties such as breathability, insulation, softness and so much more. These fibres have much larger pore sizes, however, which means it's easier for dust mites to build up in the mattress.

At Mattressman, we are proud to stock such a wide array of trusted sleep brands and manufacturers. The brands that stock this mattress type include Silentnight, British Bed Company, Relyon, Sealy, Restopaedic, Hypnos, Dunlopillo, Shire Beds and Sleepeezee.
