          What is a soft mattress?

          A soft mattress is designed to provide a gentle and cushioned feel when you lie down. Most soft mattresses feature plush layers and mattress materials that conform to your body, relieving pressure points and ensuring a luxurious sleep. Unlike firm mattresses or extra-firm mattresses, which provide a firmer surface with minimal sinkage, a soft mattress offers a deeper level of comfort and allows you to feel embraced by its softness.

          Who is a soft mattress ideal for?

          A soft mattress is ideal for various sleepers, depending on their preferences and needs. If you love the feeling of being enveloped in a cozy nest, a soft mattress is perfect for you. It is particularly beneficial for side sleepers, as it helps align the spine and alleviate pressure on the hips and shoulders. In addition, individuals who prefer a more contouring and hugging sensation while sleeping, particularly lightweight people under 130 lbs., will find a soft mattress to be a dream come true.

          How to choose the best soft mattress?

          Choosing the best soft mattress requires careful consideration to ensure you find a comfortable and supportive option for a good night's sleep. Here are some important factors to keep in mind:

          • Material and durability

          The materials used in a soft mattress play a significant role in its comfort and longevity. Common materials include memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses (spring + foam). Memory foam molds to your body, providing excellent contouring and pressure relief. Latex offers responsive support, contouring comfort, and cooling features, while hybrid mattresses combine different materials for a balanced feel. Check the quality and durability of the materials to ensure your mattress will last.

          Material and durability - for pressure relieving comfort and spine support
          • Sleeping position

          Your preferred sleeping position determines the level of support and pressure relief you need. Side sleepers may benefit from a softer mattress that cushions the shoulders and hips, aligning the spine. Back and stomach sleepers generally require a slightly firmer mattress to maintain proper spinal alignment. Consider your sleeping position when choosing a mattress that provides the right balance of comfort and support.

          • Edge support

          If you often sit or sleep near the edges of your bed, it's important to consider the mattress's edge support. A mattress with strong edge support prevents a sinking feeling and allows for more usable surface area. This is especially important for couples who share a smaller bed size or for individuals who have limited space.

          Edge support
          • Trial period and warranty

          Look for a soft mattress that comes with a trial period and warranty. A trial period allows you to test the mattress in your own home for a certain period, usually ranging from 90 to 120 nights. This way, you can determine if the mattress suits your needs without any pressure. Additionally, check for a warranty of at least 8–10 years, which ensures that the manufacturer stands behind the quality of their product.

          Trial period and warranty
          • Reviews

          Reading customer reviews can provide helpful insights into the comfort, durability, and overall performance of a soft mattress. Look for feedback from people who have a similar sleeping position and preferences as yours. Pay attention to their experiences with the mattress's softness, support, and any potential issues. Customer reviews can give you a better understanding of what to expect from the mattress you are considering.

          Reviews

          What are all the different types of soft mattresses?

          1) Latex mattress

          A latex mattress is a top choice for those seeking the best soft mattress. Crafted from natural latex derived from rubber trees, these mattresses offer exceptional comfort and support. There are two primary types of latex used in mattresses: Dunlop latex and Talalay latex. Dunlop latex is denser and firmer, making it ideal for the support core. Talalay latex, on the other hand, is softer and more responsive and is typically used in the comfort layer.

          Latex mattresses conform to the body's shape, providing personalized support and pressure relief. They are also breathable and highly durable, with a lifespan of up to 15 or 20 years. While synthetic and blended latex mattresses are available, natural latex is considered the best option for its effectiveness and quality.

          2) Memory foam mattress

          When it comes to softness and contouring, memory foam mattresses are hard to beat. These mattresses consist of multiple foam layers that provide excellent support and comfort.

          Traditional memory foam excels at conforming to the body's shape and relieving pressure points. However, it may retain heat, leading to discomfort during sleep. To address this, infused memory foam has gained popularity. Gel-infused memory foam and copper-infused memory foam are two popular options. These infused foams enhance bounce and reduce heat retention, offering a more comfortable sleep experience.

          Keep in mind that infused memory foam mattresses generally come at a higher price point than traditional memory foam options.

          3) Hybrid mattress

          Hybrid mattresses typically fall in the medium to medium-firm range in terms of firmness. While hybrids do offer a balance of softness and support, they often tend to lean more toward the medium-firm side.

          The comfort layer of a hybrid mattress, which is usually made of materials like latex, memory foam, or polyfoam (polyurethane foam), contributes to the overall cushioning and pressure relief. However, the support core, consisting of spring coils, adds a level of firmness and support to the mattress.

          The combination of these components results in a mattress that offers a supportive surface with some plushness. This medium-firm feel can be suitable for a wide range of sleepers, including those who prefer a balance between softness and support or those who need extra support for their back and spine.

          4) Innerspring mattress

          Innerspring mattresses lean towards the firmer side. While they may not offer the same level of softness as other mattress types, such as memory foam or latex, some innerspring mattresses can still provide a comfortable sleep surface. The firmness of an innerspring mattress can vary based on factors like the type of coils used and the thickness and density of the comfort layer materials.

          5) Air mattress

          Air mattresses offer the advantage of adjustable firmness, allowing you to customize the level of support according to your preference. These inflatable mattresses can be inflated or deflated using an electric pump or manual valve. By adjusting the amount of air inside, you can achieve a softer or firmer feel. However, air mattresses may not provide the same contouring or pressure relief as other mattress types. They are convenient for temporary or occasional use, camping, or accommodating guests, but for specific features like deep contouring, other mattress types may be more suitable.

          What are the best bedding accessories to pair with the best soft mattress?

          • Pillows

          The first one on our list is pillows. They are an essential bedding accessory to consider when aiming for maximum comfort with a soft mattress. Pillows provide adequate support and cushioning for your head and neck, allowing you to maintain proper alignment while you sleep. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials to suit individual preferences. You can choose from options like latex, memory foam, buckwheat, down, or polyester-filled pillows based on your comfort needs.

          • Bed Sheet

          Bed sheets are another important component of your bedding ensemble. They not only protect the mattress but also provide a soft and smooth surface for you to lie on. When pairing them with a soft mattress, opt for high-quality sheets that are gentle on the skin and offer breathability. Cotton or linen sheets are popular choices due to their comfort and moisture-wicking properties. Additionally, consider the thread count of the sheets, as a higher count often indicates a softer and more luxurious feel.

          • Mattress topper

          If you desire an even plusher sleeping surface, a mattress topper can be a game-changer. A mattress topper is a removable layer of material/padding that sits on top of your mattress. Soft mattress toppers can add an extra layer of comfort, cushioning, and support to enhance the softness of your mattress. Toppers are available in various materials, such as latex, memory foam, or feather-filled, each offering a unique feel.

          • Comforter

          To complete your cozy sleep environment, consider adding a comforter to your bedding ensemble. A comforter is a thick, fluffy blanket that provides comfort, warmth, and insulation during colder nights. When selecting a comforter to pair with your soft mattress, consider the warmth level, fill material, and design. Comforters come in different weights, ranging from lightweight to heavyweight, allowing you to choose according to your local climate and personal comfort preferences.

          How much does the best soft mattress cost?

          The cost of a soft mattress varies depending on several factors, including the brand, materials used, and size. Generally, the best soft mattresses are available at a range of price points ($300 to $5000+), from budget-friendly options to more luxurious models.

          Lower-range prices (with limited mattress features) can go anywhere from $300 to $500.

          Medium-range prices (with adequate mattress features) can go anywhere from $600 to $1000.

          High-range prices (with additional mattress features) can go anywhere from $1100 to $5000+.

          Online mattress brand stores may offer lower prices than brick-and-mortar stores, owing to lower overhead costs. Online mattress shopping, especially during sale periods, can also net you some free bedding along with services like free white glove delivery and extra loyalty points.

          How to take care of your soft mattress?

          To ensure the longevity and performance of your soft mattress, follow these care tips:

          • Rotate the mattress

          Regularly rotate your mattress every 3–6 months to prevent uneven wear and sagging.

          Rotate it depending on how much movement from sleepers - ensures long lasting supportive mattress
          • Use a mattress protector

          Invest in a mattress protector to shield your mattress from spills, stains, and allergens. It will help maintain its cleanliness and extend its lifespan.

          Use a mattress protector for softer mattress - same as on other foam mattresses
          • Keep it clean

          Vacuum your mattress regularly to remove dust and debris. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for spot cleaning and stain removal.

          Best Soft Mattress FAQs

          1. What is the best soft and plush mattress?

          The best soft and plush mattress is an organic latex mattress, as it offers great cushioning and contouring without sacrificing support. However, for you, it may depend on personal preferences and needs. Here are some popular options known for their softness:

          • Memory Foam

          Memory foam mattresses are renowned for their ability to contour to your body shape, relieve pressure points, and provide exceptional support. They offer a plush and cradling sensation, ensuring a comfortable sleep. Additionally, memory foam absorbs movement, making it an excellent choice for couples or people who share a bed.

          • Latex

          Natural latex mattresses provide a soft and supportive sleeping surface. Latex is a responsive material that offers a gentle cushioning effect while still maintaining good support. Latex mattresses are often breathable, making them suitable for those who prioritize temperature regulation.

          • Hybrid

          Hybrid mattresses combine multiple materials to offer a balanced blend of softness and support. They typically feature a combination of memory foam or latex with an innerspring coil system. The top comfort layers are designed to be soft and plush, while the coils beneath provide support and responsiveness. Hybrid mattresses are a popular choice for those seeking the benefits of different materials in one mattress.

          • Airbeds

          Adjustable air mattresses allow you to customize the firmness level to your liking. While they can provide a soft sleeping surface, the level of softness can be adjusted to meet your specific preferences. These mattresses utilize air chambers that can be inflated or deflated to achieve the desired comfort level.

          Now that you know the types of soft mattresses available out there, it's advisable to try them out in person or consult customer reviews to determine which mattress material would best suit your needs.

          2. Are soft mattresses good for joint pain?

          Soft mattresses are generally not recommended for joint pain. While they may initially feel comfortable, soft mattresses lack proper support for your joints. This can lead to poor alignment of your spine and increased pressure on your joints, potentially exacerbating pain and discomfort. It is usually better to opt for a medium-firm mattress that provides a balance of support and cushioning to get some sort of relief from discomfort due to joint pain.

          3. Can you sleep on a soft mattress for back pain?

          The best mattress for back pain is one that provides adequate support for your spine. While a soft mattress may seem comfortable, it may not be the best choice for individuals with back pain. Here's why:

          • Lack of support

          Soft mattresses tend to contour to your body's shape, which can result in sinking too deeply. This can cause your spine to become misaligned and lead to increased pressure on certain areas of your back. In turn, this can exacerbate or prolong your back pain.

          • Poor spinal alignment

          Proper spinal alignment is crucial for relieving back pain. A mattress that is too soft may not provide the necessary support to keep your spine properly aligned while you sleep. This can strain the muscles, ligaments, and discs in your back, leading to discomfort and potentially worsening your condition.

          • Lead to discomfort

          While a soft mattress might initially feel cozy, it can contribute to discomfort in the long run. For example, it may be more challenging to change positions or get out of bed, which can strain your back further. Additionally, if you sink too deeply into a soft mattress, it can be harder to maintain a neutral spine position, leading to morning stiffness and pain.

          So, what type of mattress is recommended for back pain? A medium firm mattress is generally considered more suitable. It offers better support and spinal alignment, helping to distribute your body weight more evenly. If you're still hankering for a soft mattress for back pain, then we recommend latex or hybrid mattresses, as they provide the best support.

          4. Is a soft memory foam mattress any good?

          A soft memory foam mattress can offer several benefits, but it also has some potential drawbacks. It is important to consider both the positive and negative aspects when evaluating whether a soft memory foam mattress is suitable for your needs.

          Let's begin with the positive side of a soft memory foam mattress:

          • Pressure Relief

          One of the key advantages of memory foam is its ability to contour to the body's shape, distributing weight evenly. A soft memory foam mattress can provide excellent pressure relief, especially for individuals who suffer from joint pain or have sensitive areas.

          • Comfort and Support

          Soft memory foam mattresses are often praised for their luxurious feel and comfort. They can provide a plush and cushioned surface that conforms to your body, allowing for a more comfortable sleep experience. Additionally, they can offer adequate support to promote proper spinal alignment.

          • Motion Isolation

          Memory foam is renowned for its exceptional motion isolation properties. This means that when one person moves or shifts positions on a soft memory foam mattress, the movement is localized, minimizing disruptions to a sleeping partner. This is particularly beneficial for couples or individuals who are easily disturbed by movement during sleep.

          However, it is important to also consider the potential drawbacks of a soft memory foam mattress:

          • Heat Retention

          One common concern with memory foam mattresses, including soft ones, is their tendency to trap heat. The dense structure of memory foam can restrict airflow, potentially causing sleepers to feel uncomfortably warm, especially in warmer climates or for those who naturally sleep hot. However, many modern memory foam mattresses now incorporate cooling technologies or have advanced breathability features to mitigate this issue.

          • Sinkage and Lack of Support

          While soft memory foam mattresses can provide excellent comfort, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those who prefer a firmer sleep surface or require extra support. Some individuals may find that a soft memory foam mattress causes excessive sinkage, making it more challenging to move or change positions during the night. It is essential to find a balance between comfort and support that aligns with your personal preferences and sleep needs.

          • Initial Odor and Off-Gassing

          When purchased new, memory foam mattresses or other synthetic mattresses, including soft ones, can emit a temporary odor known as off-gassing. This odor is a result of the manufacturing process and the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While it typically dissipates within a few days to a few weeks, it may be bothersome to some individuals, particularly those who are sensitive to smells.

          5. What is the best soft luxury mattress?

          Mattresses made with organic materials are often considered the best choice for a soft luxury mattress. Our recommendation would be an organic latex mattress, as, along with exquisite cushioning, it offers many other benefits like breathability, support, response, bounce, durability, and eco-friendliness.

          6. When is the best time to buy a soft mattress?

          The best time to purchase a soft mattress depends on several factors, including seasonal trends and promotional offers. While specific discounts and sales may vary among retailers, there are some periods when you are more likely to find favorable deals on soft mattresses.

          • Holidays and Special Events

          Major holidays such as Black Friday, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day often bring mattress sales and discounts. Keep an eye out for promotions during these times.

          • End-of-Year Clearance Sales

          Towards the end of the year, many retailers offer clearance sales to make room for new models. This can be a good opportunity to find soft mattresses at discounted prices.

          • Retailers' Anniversary or Special Events

          It is advisable to research and compare prices from different retailers to ensure you are getting the best possible deal. By staying informed about upcoming promotions and being prepared to make a purchase during these periods, you increase your chances of finding a soft mattress at a more affordable price.

          7. Can softer mattresses cause hip pain?

          Softer mattresses can potentially cause hip pain, especially for heavy individuals. While mattress firmness is a personal preference and can vary from person to person, a mattress that is too soft may not provide adequate support for the hips and spine. This lack of support can lead to improper alignment, causing discomfort and strain on the hip joints.

          When a mattress is too soft, the hips may sink too deeply into the mattress, leading to an unnatural curvature of the spine. This can put pressure on the nerves and muscles around the hip area, resulting in pain and discomfort.

          Conversely, some people may find that firmer mattresses cause hip pain if they don't allow for enough cushioning and pressure relief, leading to increased pressure on the hip joints.

          To minimize the risk of hip pain, the best mattress for hip pain should find a balance between comfort and support. A medium-firm mattress often suits a wide range of sleepers and helps maintain proper spinal alignment while providing adequate cushioning for pressure points like the hips.

          8. How can you make your mattress softer?

          If you find your mattress too firm and would like to make it softer, there are a few steps you can take to improve its comfort level. One option is to consider adding a mattress topper. A mattress topper is an additional layer placed on top of your mattress to provide extra cushioning. Toppers are available in various materials, such as memory foam, latex, or a down alternative, and can help soften the feel of your mattress.

          Another option to consider is a mattress pad. A mattress pad is designed to offer additional padding and comfort. Look for a pad with plush or thick cushioning to create a softer sleeping surface. By placing a mattress pad on top of your existing mattress, you can enhance its softness and make it more comfortable.

          In addition to adding a topper or pad, adjusting your pillow choice can also impact the overall feel of your mattress. Opting for a softer pillow can help relieve pressure points and enhance the perceived softness of your bed. By aligning the pillow's support level with your desired comfort, you can create a more comfortable and softer sleep surface.

          If your mattress is flippable or rotatable, another option to consider is changing its orientation. By rotating or flipping your mattress, you can distribute the wear and tear more evenly. This may potentially alter the feel and softness of the mattress, providing a different level of comfort.

          It's important to note that some mattresses may require a break-in period to reach their optimal comfort level. Give your mattress time to conform to your body shape and soften up with regular use. However, if you consistently experience discomfort or find that these adjustments do not sufficiently improve the softness of your mattress, it may be worth considering investing in a new mattress that better suits your desired level of softness and support.

          9. Is a latex mattress firm or soft?

          A latex mattress can be both firm and soft, depending on the specific type of latex used and its construction. Latex mattresses are generally known for their ability to provide a balance of comfort and support. Here are the main factors that determine the firmness or softness of a latex mattress:

          • Latex Type

          There are two primary types of latex used in mattresses: natural latex and synthetic latex. Natural latex, derived from rubber tree sap, tends to have a more elastic and responsive feel. It is available in different firmness levels, ranging from soft to firm. Synthetic latex, made from petroleum-based materials, can be engineered to have a specific firmness.

          • Latex Construction

          The way the latex is layered or blended into the mattress construction can influence its firmness. Mattresses may feature a single solid piece of latex or layers of different densities and firmness levels. The arrangement and thickness of these layers can determine the overall firmness or softness of the mattress.

          • ILD Rating

          ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) is a measurement used to assess the firmness of latex foam. It indicates how much pressure is needed to compress the foam. Higher ILD values generally indicate firmer latex, while lower ILD values represent softer latex.

          10. Do soft mattresses sleep hot?

          Not all soft mattresses sleep hot. Breathable soft mattresses, like those made of latex foam and spring coils, are ideal for hot sleepers, while traditional memory foam mattresses, known for their soft feel, may retain more heat.

          Advances in mattress technology have also allowed for the development of softer mattresses that prioritize temperature regulation. Newer technologies, like gel-infused foam or open-cell structures, aim to improve airflow and mitigate excess body heat retention. Hybrid mattresses that combine materials like gel memory foam or latex and pocketed coils can provide a balance of softness and temperature control. When considering a soft mattress, look for those specifically designed to address heat retention concerns.

          To enhance your sleeping experience on a soft mattress, consider adopting additional strategies for temperature regulation. Use breathable and moisture-wicking bedding materials, such as cotton or bamboo sheets, to promote airflow and reduce perspiration. Employing cooling accessories like mattress toppers infused with cooling gels or utilizing fans or air conditioning in your sleep environment can also help create a cooler and more comfortable sleeping atmosphere.

          11. Soft bed vs. hard bed - what's the difference?

          A soft bed and a hard bed differ primarily in their firmness levels and the support they provide. Here's how they differ:

          • Soft Bed

          A soft bed offers a plush and cushioned surface with more give and sinkage. It conforms closely to the body's contours, providing a "hugging" sensation. Soft beds often incorporate materials like memory foam or plush pillow tops. They can provide pressure relief for sensitive areas and allow for deeper contouring, which may be preferred by those seeking a more cradling and cozy sleep experience. However, it's important to note that excessive softness can lead to a lack of support, potentially causing poor spinal alignment and discomfort for individuals who require more firmness.

          • Hard Bed

          A hard bed, also known as a firm bed, offers minimal sinkage and a sturdy surface. It provides a solid and supportive feel, typically using materials like high-density foam or firm innerspring coils. Firm beds are designed to maintain proper spinal alignment by providing more resistance against pressure. They distribute weight more evenly and can be beneficial for individuals who require extra support or those who tend to sleep on their stomach or back. However, some people may find firm beds too rigid, as they offer less contouring and may not provide sufficient pressure relief for certain areas like the shoulders and hips.

          12. Is a plush soft foam mattress recommended for side sleepers?

          A plush soft foam mattress can potentially offer benefits for side sleepers due to its ability to contour closely to the body's curves and provide cushioning for pressure points.

          When sleeping on the side, the body's weight is concentrated on the hips and shoulders. A plush soft foam mattress can help distribute the pressure more evenly, alleviating potential discomfort or strain in these areas. The softer surface can allow the hips and shoulders to sink slightly into the mattress, promoting a more aligned spinal position and reducing the risk of developing pressure points.

          13. What is the difference between soft and medium soft mattresses?

          A soft mattress provides a plush and cushioned surface with significant sinkage and a "hugging" sensation. In contrast, a medium-soft mattress offers a slightly firmer feel with cushioning sinkage. The choice between the two depends on individual preferences and desired levels of softness and support.

          Here's a detailed breakdown of the two types:

          • Soft Mattress

          A soft mattress offers a plush and cushioned surface with significant sinkage. It conforms closely to the body's contours, creating a "hugging" sensation. Soft mattresses often use materials like memory foam or pillow tops to provide deep pressure relief and a cradling effect. They are designed to contour the body and provide a high level of comfort. However, excessive softness can sometimes lack adequate support and may not be suitable for individuals who require more firmness or who prefer a more resilient sleep surface.

          • Medium Soft Mattress

          A medium-soft mattress offers a balance between softness and support. It provides a cushioned surface with moderate sinkage, offering a comfortable yet slightly firmer feel compared to a soft mattress. Medium-soft mattresses typically use materials that offer a combination of contouring and support, such as memory foam with varying densities or hybrid constructions. They aim to provide pressure relief while maintaining proper spinal alignment. Medium-soft mattresses can be a suitable choice for sleepers who prefer a softer surface with a touch of firmness or those who have specific comfort needs, such as those with lighter body weight.

          14. What is the best soft mattress for combination sleepers?

          Combination sleepers, who frequently switch positions during the night, benefit from a soft mattress that offers a harmonious blend of cushioning and stability.

          Latex mattresses can be a viable option for combination sleepers seeking a softer feel with responsive support. Natural latex offers a buoyant and resilient surface that contours to the body's curves, providing pressure relief without excessive sinkage.

          Memory foam mattresses are also a considerable choice, as they provide exceptional pressure relief by contouring the body's curves, ensuring a gentle and plush feel while maintaining stability.

          Another suitable choice for combination sleepers is a hybrid mattress. These mattresses combine the benefits of memory foam or latex comfort layers with the support of innerspring coils. The hybrid design provides a plush surface that conforms to the body's contours, while the coil system offers responsive support and prevents excessive sinkage. This combination allows for comfortable transitions between different sleeping positions, accommodating the changing needs of combination sleepers.

          15. Where can you find the best soft mattresses online?

          When shopping in the online mattress industry for the best soft mattress picks, reputable brands are the ideal one's to stick by. Brands like Turmerry, Brooklyn Bedding, Helix Mattress, Saatva Mattress, Avocado Green Mattress, Bear Mattress, Winkbed Mattress, etc., are trustworthy, as they have a genuine history backed up by hundreds of reviews and satisfied customers.

          16. What firmness level does a soft mattress belong to on the mattress firmness scale?

          On the standard mattress firmness scale, a soft mattress typically falls within the range of 1 to 4 out of 10, with 10 being the firmest. However, it's important to note that the firmness scale can vary between manufacturers and may be subjective to individual perceptions.

          A soft mattress is designed to provide a plush and cushioned surface, allowing for deeper sinkage and contouring to the body's curves. This level of softness is often preferred by sleepers who enjoy a more enveloping and cradling sensation while sleeping.

          It's worth mentioning that within the "soft" category, there can be some variation in firmness. Some mattresses may lean more towards the firmer side of the soft spectrum (around 3–4 out of 10), providing a gentle cushioning feel with a bit more support. Others may offer a true "ultra-soft" feel, closer to 1-3 out of 10 on the firmness scale, with significant sinkage and a cloud-like sensation.

          When determining the ideal firmness level, personal preferences, body weight, and sleep positions should be considered. It's recommended to try out different mattresses or consult with mattress experts to find the specific softness level that best suits individual comfort needs.
