Medium Soft Mattresses

What Is a Medium Soft Mattress?

A medium soft mattress is designed to provide more cushioning than a medium or medium firm mattress, allowing the body to sink slightly further into the comfort layers.

While still supportive, medium soft mattresses place greater emphasis on comfort and pressure relief, making them particularly popular with lighter-weight sleepers and those who prefer a gentler feel.

Who Should Choose a Medium Soft Mattress?

Medium soft mattresses are often a great choice for:

• Side sleepers
• Lightweight individuals
• People with sensitive joints or pressure points
• Those who prefer a plush, cushioned feel
• Couples seeking a softer sleep surface
• Anyone who finds medium or firm mattresses too hard

Because comfort preferences vary from person to person, the ideal mattress will depend on factors such as body weight, sleeping position and personal preference.

Benefits of a Medium Soft Mattress

Choosing a medium soft mattress can offer several advantages:

• Enhanced pressure relief around shoulders and hips
• Softer, more cushioned comfort
• Excellent contouring and body support
• Reduced pressure point discomfort
• Suitable for many side sleepers
• Available in a variety of mattress constructions
• Comfortable for lighter-weight sleepers

Types of Medium Soft Mattresses

Medium Soft Pocket Sprung Mattresses

Pocket sprung mattresses contain individually wrapped springs that react independently to your movements. Medium soft models combine responsive support with deeper comfort layers for a softer sleeping experience.

These mattresses are ideal if you enjoy a traditional mattress feel with added cushioning and breathability.

Medium Soft Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory foam mattresses contour closely to your body's shape, helping to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure build-up.

A medium soft memory foam mattress delivers a gentle, enveloping feel that many side sleepers find particularly comfortable.

Medium Soft Hybrid Mattresses

Hybrid mattresses combine pocket springs with layers of memory foam, latex or comfort foam. This construction helps create a supportive yet plush sleep surface that offers pressure relief, airflow and responsive comfort.

Medium Soft Latex Mattresses

Latex mattresses provide a naturally responsive feel with gentle contouring and excellent durability. Medium soft latex mattresses offer pressure-relieving comfort while maintaining a buoyant, supportive feel that prevents excessive sinking.

Is a Medium Soft Mattress Good for Side Sleepers?

Yes. Medium soft mattresses are often one of the best choices for side sleepers.

When sleeping on your side, a significant amount of body weight is concentrated around the shoulders and hips. A medium soft mattress allows these areas to sink slightly into the comfort layers, helping to reduce pressure and maintain better spinal alignment. This can create a more comfortable sleep experience compared to a mattress that feels too firm.

Is a Medium Soft Mattress Good for Back Pain?

The right mattress for back pain varies from person to person, but some individuals find a medium soft mattress comfortable because it provides additional cushioning around pressure points.

However, support remains important. If a mattress is too soft for your body weight or sleeping position, it may allow excessive sinking and reduce spinal support. For many sleepers, a medium soft mattress offers a comfortable balance between pressure relief and support.

Medium Soft vs Medium Mattress: What's the Difference?

A medium soft mattress provides:

• More cushioning
• Greater pressure relief
• A deeper comfort feel
• More contouring around the body

A medium mattress typically provides:

• A more balanced feel
• Slightly firmer support
• Greater versatility across sleeping positions
• Less sinkage

If you enjoy a softer sleeping surface and prioritise comfort, a medium soft mattress may be the better option.

Is a Medium Soft Mattress too Soft?

Not necessarily. Medium soft mattresses still provide support but offer more cushioning than medium or medium firm models. The right choice depends on your body weight, preferred sleeping position and comfort preferences.

Are Medium Soft Mattresses Good for Couples?

Yes. Many couples enjoy the plush comfort of a medium soft mattress, particularly memory foam and hybrid models that help minimise motion transfer.

What Type of Mattress is Best for a Medium Soft feel?

Memory foam, hybrid, latex and pocket sprung mattresses can all be manufactured with a medium soft comfort rating. The best option depends on your preferred mattress feel and sleeping style.
