How to Choose the Right Mattress Firmness with a Sleep Test

Struggling to get comfortable at night? The secret to deeper, pain-free sleep often comes down to one thing: mattress firmness.
At Nightingale Singapore, you can discover your perfect match through a personalised sleep test guided by sleep experts who understand spinal wellness.
1. Why Mattress Firmness Matters
Mattress firmness isn’t just about comfort. It’s about spinal support and pressure distribution. Picking the wrong firmness can throw your spine out of alignment and lead to restless, painful sleep.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
|
Firmness Level |
Ideal Sleeper Type |
Recommended Model |
Key Benefit |
|
Plush Firm |
Side Sleepers |
Seville Lux |
Cushioned relief for hips and shoulders |
|
Medium |
Combination Sleepers |
Natura |
Adaptive balance between comfort and support |
|
Firm |
Back or Stomach Sleepers |
Orthopedic Master |
Promotes neutral spine alignment |
If you wake up stiff or sore, your mattress may be too soft or too firm for your body type. The right firmness keeps your spine in neutral alignment, reducing stress on muscles and joints.

2. Experience the Sleep Test: Try Before You Buy
The Sleep Test lets you experience firmness in real time, helping you feel how each mattress supports your body.
Here’s how it works:
-
Lie down for 10 minutes on each mattress in your natural sleeping position.
-
Notice how your hips, shoulders, and lower back respond.
-
If your hips sink too low → too soft.
-
If your shoulders feel lifted or tight → too firm.
-
Ask about support materials like pocketed coils and latex layers that sustain spinal alignment.
Nightingale’s consultants will translate your comfort feedback into firm, medium, or plush recommendations suited to your sleeping style.

3. Pro Tips for a Successful Mattress Shopping Visit
Make the most of your Nightingale visit:
-
Be comfortable and move freely while testing.
-
Take your time; great sleep is a lifetime investment.
-
Be open about your needs — back pain, sleep positions, or comfort preferences all matter.
Your mattress should complement your body’s natural alignment and relieve pressure, not add to it.
