The truth about mattress firmness: myths and facts

The importance of firmness level in mattresses

The firmness level of a mattress is often a much-discussed topic, but what exactly does it mean and how does it affect your sleep? At Ora, your expert for quality and craftsmanship, we want to dispel the myths surrounding mattress firmness and help you make the right choice for a restful night's sleep.

Myth: A specific firmness level is suitable for every body shape.

There is a widespread belief that certain firmness levels are better suited to certain body types. For example, it is often assumed that firmer mattresses are better for heavier people, while softer mattresses are suitable for lighter people. However, this assumption is often based on misunderstandings.

Fact: Every sleeper's needs are unique.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to mattress firmness. Every sleeper has different preferences, sleeping positions, and health needs. Therefore, it's important to choose a mattress that is individually tailored to your needs, regardless of your weight or body shape.

Myth: The firmer the mattress, the better for your back

Another common myth is that a very firm mattress is automatically better for your back. While some people with back problems may benefit from a firm mattress, this isn't the case for every sleeper.

Fact: Zoning and support are crucial

Proper support and spinal alignment during sleep are crucial for back health. Instead of focusing solely on firmness, it's important to choose a mattress with appropriate zoning that supports and relieves pressure on different areas of the body.

The Ora recommendation: Focus on individuality and comfort

At Ora, we believe in the individuality of every sleeper and the need for a tailored solution for restful sleep. Our mattresses are carefully designed to offer optimal zoning and support, regardless of your personal firmness preference.

Conclusion: The ideal firmness level for your sleep

In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that there is no one firmness level that is suitable for all sleepers. Choosing the right firmness level depends on your individual preferences, sleeping habits, and health needs. At Ora, we stand for quality, craftsmanship, and Swiss precision, and we are here to help you find the perfect mattress for a restful night's sleep, regardless of your personal firmness preference.
