3 Signs Your Mattress Is Too Firm
A lot of people think they need a firmer mattress for support, but firmness and support aren’t the same thing. Here are three signs your mattress is actually too firm for your body:
Shoulder or hip pressure when side sleeping
If you feel sharp pressure points or wake up with soreness in those areas, the comfort layer isn’t letting your joints sink enough.Lower back tightness in the morning
A too‑firm mattress can push your pelvis upward, flattening your spine instead of supporting its natural curve.Numbness or tingling in arms/hands
This usually means the top layer isn’t contouring well enough, causing circulation issues.
If you’re unsure whether you need a softer or more balanced feel, I can break down the differences between side sleeper needs and back sleeper needs.
