A mattress that is too soft can lead to discomfort, incorrect spinal alignment, and insomnia. Even mattresses designed to be firmer can gradually wear out over time, leading to sagging. Whether your mattress is new or has lost its firmness over time, we can help you increase the firmness of your mattress, extend its lifespan, and provide the support you need for the most comfortable sleep. Say hello to a more robust and vibrant sleep experience!
1. Adding a Mattress Topper
Most mattress toppers are designed to make the mattress feel softer, but some are designed to increase the firmness of the mattress. Hush Home’s dual-sided memory foam mattress topper features two sides, allowing your spine to receive adequate support while also providing comfort when you flip the topper to the other side. Please ensure to choose a topper that is compatible with the dimensions and thickness of your mattress and bed frame. Using a mattress topper can effectively and quickly solve the problem of a sunken mattress. However, if you start to feel persistent pain when getting up, you may need to replace your mattress.
2. Rotating or Flipping Your Mattress
People often overlook the need to regularly rotate or flip their mattresses. Most mattress brands recommend rotating mattresses periodically. At Hush Home, we suggest our customers rotate their mattresses every three months. Rotating your mattress by 180 degrees is crucial as it helps to distribute the wear and tear caused by sleeping in the same position every night. Rotating your mattress is a simple way to maintain its firmness, appearance, and extend its lifespan. If your mattress is designed to be used on both sides, you can also flip your mattress regularly. Rotating your mattress every three months can prevent excessive sagging and maintain a more consistent level of firmness.
3. Adjusting the Bed Base or Foundation
The bed frame or base under your mattress can also affect the overall firmness of the bed. If you feel that your mattress is too soft, check for any sagging, cracks, or weak points in the bed frame. If you desire a firmer mattress surface, a bed frame with a solid wood and supportive base is the best. Many mattress brands, including Hush Home and German Emma Mattress, recommend using a flat, sturdy surface as the optimal bed frame type to support their foam mattresses. You can also simply place a plywood sheet or bed board between the bed frame and mattress to establish a more robust foundation. This will make the bed structure more supportive and give your bed a more stable feel.
4. Bringing a Refreshing Feel to Your Bedroom
The temperature of your bedroom greatly affects your comfort while sleeping. Memory foam mattresses are very sensitive to temperature – they soften when it’s warmer and firm up when it’s cooler. If you have a memory foam mattress (such as a memory foam mattress), you can try cooling down the room a few hours before bedtime. The difference may not be significant, but a lower temperature might just make your memory foam mattress feel firmer.
5. Considering Replacing Your Old Mattress
If you have tried the above methods and still feel that your mattress is too soft, it might be time to consider upgrading your mattress. Older mattresses inevitably lose their original firmness and support. If your current mattress is beyond repair or has reached the end of its lifespan, consider looking at new mattresses with a more robust support system and materials. Hybrid mattresses combine the firm support structure of pocketed coils with the contouring function of memory foam. If you are considering replacing your old mattress, you can choose from the following firmer mattresses at Hush Home: the firmest back support mattress – Essence Firm Back Support Mattress, the hybrid mattress – Hush Mattress, and the affordable mattress with a dual-sided design – Loft Mattress. If you are looking for a quick solution, consider a dual-sided mattress topper.
