What is a soft mattress best for?
Soft mattresses are ideal for side sleepers, lighter body types, or anyone who prefers a gentle, cushioned feel. They offer excellent pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.

​

Will a soft mattress still offer enough support?
Yes, our soft mattresses are built with supportive pocket spring systems to ensure proper spinal alignment while still delivering a softer, more forgiving surface.

​

Can I try a soft mattress in-store?
Absolutely. Visit us in-store to test out our range of mattresses and find the perfect comfort level for your sleep style.

 

How do I know if a soft mattress is right for me?
If you often wake up with sore shoulders or hips or feel uncomfortable on firmer beds, a soft mattress could be a great fit. Our Mattress Buying Guide can help, or get in touch with our team for personalised advice.

​

Do soft mattresses last as long as firmer ones?
Yes, when made with quality materials like ours, a soft mattress can last just as long. Be sure to rotate your mattress regularly and follow our Mattress Care Guide to keep it in top condition. ​

​

Are soft mattresses good for couples?
Soft mattresses can work well for couples, especially if one or both partners prefer a more cushioned feel. Our pocket sprung soft mattresses help minimise motion transfer, so you won’t feel movement during the night.

​

Do soft mattresses cause back pain?
A soft mattress can actually help alleviate pressure for certain sleepers, especially side sleepers. However, it’s important to match your mattress to your body type and sleep position. Our team can help you choose the right level of support.

​

Can I get a custom size soft mattress?
Yes, we offer custom sizes across our mattress range, including soft comfort options. If you have an unusual bed frame or space, we can create a soft mattress that fits perfectly. You can learn more about our custom mattresses here.
