Mattresses have changed a lot over the years. The choices used to range from medium firm to extra firm; the only difference being the number of coils inside. The mattress with the most coils was not only considered the best choice, but they were also hard as a rock!
The point I'd like to make is that with today's mattresses, firmer is not better. It is a fact that nearly all quality mattresses have extra firm springs (or cores in the case of foam beds) on the inside. It's the firm core that gives us the support we need and the durability factor that makes a mattress last a long time. What's different today is the myriad of foams and layers of padding on top of the core that help the mattress contour to the curves of our bodies and spread out critical pressure points that cause pain.
Face it, as we age, our bodies change. Gone are the days when we used to 'sleep on anything' and wake up feeling refreshed. These days, a good night's sleep means sleeping on a mattress that addresses our blood circulation issues. Just under our skin, we have capillary blood flow that, when restricted, causes pain in our muscles and joints. A mattress that's too firm will make you toss and turn and wake up feeling miserable.
As you process through the "Select A Mattress" portion of the site, we'll recommend the mattress that will best meet your needs.
