Do You Like A Soft Or A Hard Bed/Mattress?

Lol I actually need a new Mattress which I hope to buy in the next couple of Months I really do not like the hard ones though I prefer the soft Mattress

I tend to prefer a firmer mattress, but my current one is my favourite I've had. it's lovely and firm and supported, but has a softer surface. I find it completely wonderful.

Yes we have a pillow top mattress and I do like it. Our mattress is firm but not too firm. I dont like a real soft mattress. We need a new mattress soon. Its getting up there in age.LOL

I have back problems too cats and quite chronic ones! It is funny how different things suit different people as if I lie in a bed that is too hard I end up in more pain! Having said that if a bed is too soft it is just as bad! I have wanted a pillow top mattress for ages but they are too expensive so my physio advised me to try a duvet on top of my matress and below my sheet! It does make a difference! xxx

I never like too soft mattresses which sink down when you lie on them. They can be bad for your back and give you back aches. On the other hand, I don't like very hard mattresses. If they are so hard that one feels no different from sleeping on a wooden bed without any mattress, I won't be able to sleep on such a mattress. I like mine firm, not soft but not too hard at the same time. I have been sleeping on the same pocketed spring mattress for many years, and it still feels great today. My mattress has been with me for 22 years now, so it is really value for money, cos it is still almost as good as new.

Dehhhh-finitely a harder mattress. A soft mattress makes me just way too comfortable, and sleepy, and just exhausted too! I find that I can't wake and get out of bed in those. I sleep too much. And I guess it feels like I need more hours in them, and much sleepier. Harder ones are better for my body, and feel more healthily covered with hours of sleep. Also, i do NOT like squishy pillows. Same effects, I think.

I don't like it too hard, but I do prefer a firm mattress to a soft one, because I too suffer from occasional back problems, especially when I don't sleep in a good position. I have a lamb's wool fleece cover on my mattress however, like the one in the picture. This adds extra warmth and comfort whilst the mattress keeps you from getting back problems. Brightest Blessings.

My bed needs to be very firm or my back will start giving me problems. You should try to use a two piece king size matress. The "Sleep Number," matresses seem like a good idea, but they are very expensive. What about putting a board under your side?

I have a hard mattress with one of those memory foam pads on it. Actually, I have also got 2 pillows cramed under the memory foam to raise the middle of my body so my shoulders are in a kind of grove. I think its saving me so far from having to have surgery on my left arm and keeping my right one from hurting as bad. Then there is the other pillow down by my feet so that I have that raised so my toes don't stick straight out and give me achillies tendon problems. I'm just falling apart. Tho I've had the achillies tendon problem since the early 1980's.

My husband and I got one a few years ago ourselves. We were used to firm mattresses before this so when my husband and I were looking for a new mattress we figured a pillow top would be a good change. WRONG! It is too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on and it hurts both of our backs. Like you, had we known better we would have never gotten a pillow top! Fortunately our oldest son doesn't mind it so we gave it to him. That kid can sleep on anything! LOL

I have a Tempur-Pedic mattress and I love it! It's firm, yet it contours, so I get support and comfort! I won't ever go back to a regular mattress ever again!

I like a firm mattress. I am used to it and I don't like the feeling of sinking the way soft mattresses does.

Our mattress is a mixture of soft and hard, its so comfy it makes it very hard to get up of a morning! We have had it for a few years now and it is getting to the point where we are going to need a new one and we think we might try to get the same sort, of course it will be horrible until you get your body mold into it! I know that harder ones are better for our backs, but we are suckers for comfort, I will be whinging when I get older and have a bad back!

I have a pillow top mattress too. It's not soft though, it's one of those cheap imitation pillow tops so it's still hard enough to keep my back from getting stiff. What I really want is one of those mattresses that you can't even feel someone jumping on the bed. That would be perfect considering I have 2 small children!

i like my mattress soft. i can sleep in it better if it is soft as always :) i think hard mattress are not easy to sleep on. though my mom prefers hard matress, she says it is better for her bones. :)

i do not like that much soft bed. this cause back pains.so i like moderately hard bed for me. it is good for me.

We have a hard bed/mattress. It is the Sealy Miracle Foam mattress and we love it. We also have the funny shaped miracle foam pillow but I need an extra pillow on it because if I do not, I will snore. My husband has back problems, and we had an ordinary hard mattress, but it started to sag as for the pillow top mattress, I probably would not want it for the extra expense. Oh we do not have that large of a master bed room so we have only a queen sized bed.

I like a nice firm mattress - soft mattresses always leave me waking up with a back ache - I usually dislike hotel mattresses for this reason.

I prefer hard mattresses as I too suffer from the same ailment as you.But we have a soft mattress in our master bedroom and thats because my wife prefers it. coming back to the back problem, I have seen that my back starts aching if I oversleep on a particular day, otherwise its fine.

My sofa is soooooo much more comfortable than my bed!! My bed ha a few spprings that you can feel when you lay on it but the sofa is soft and warm and almost swallows you up. I sit on my sofa and i get comfy and wanna go sleep!! But if i get in my bed im tossing and turning for most of the night.
