Bed Rumours Comfort Mattress Medium Soft to Medium Firm Guide

Mattresses that rate between 4 to 6 on the firmness scale fall into the average range that most individuals prefer. They have a broad appeal across weight groups, and they may be especially appropriate for partners with different position preferences and/or body types.

Comfort	Description
Support	Medium soft to medium-firm mattresses offer moderate support with less shrinkage than softer options. Sleepers who weigh between 60 to 100 KGs usually enjoy a good balance of contouring and support.
Conforming	Mattresses in this firmness range often have considerable comfort systems that cradle the body closely like softer models and, do not trap as much heat.
Temperature Neutrality	Since medium-soft to medium-firm mattresses do not hug the body as closely as softer models, they often do not trap heat.
Durability	These mattresses typically use sturdier materials that may better resist sagging or premature deterioration. As a result, medium soft to medium firm mattresses tend to last longer than softer models.
Popularity	Medium soft to medium-firm mattresses are very popular and are the most purchased mattresses.
