Quick Answers
Who actually needs firm? Stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and heavier folks (200+ lbs) usually do better on firm. It keeps your spine from dipping. Side sleepers? Probably not firm.
Firm or medium-firm? Honestly, medium-firm works for most people. True firm (7-8 out of 10) is really only for stomach sleepers or those over 230 lbs. Come try both - you'll know quickly.
Can firm cause back pain? If it's too firm for your body, yes. A 130 lb side sleeper needs very different support than a 230 lb back sleeper. There's no one-size-fits-all.

Is Luxury Actually Worth It? (My Honest Opinion)
When I Recommend Luxury (And When I Don't)
Luxury Makes Sense If:
- You Can Afford It Without Stress: Never go into debt for a mattress, even a luxury one
- You Have Specific Needs: Chemical sensitivities, extreme heat sleeping, chronic pain that cheaper mattresses can't address
- You Value Long-Term Investment: Luxury mattresses often last 15+ years, making cost-per-year reasonable
- Quality Matters More Than Price: You buy fewer, higher-quality items in all aspects of life
Skip Luxury If:
- It Strains Your Budget: A $800 mattress you can afford beats a $4,000 mattress that creates financial stress
- You're Happy with Mid-Range: If you sleep well on a $1,500 mattress, don't fix what isn't broken
- You Replace Mattresses Frequently: Some people like changing every 5-7 years-luxury longevity isn't valuable then

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a firmer mattress better for your back?
Not necessarily. Medium-firm is generally best for back health as it provides support while allowing some contouring. Too firm can create pressure points; too soft allows spine misalignment. Individual body weight and sleep position matter.
Are mattress toppers worth it?
A mattress topper can extend the life of an aging mattress or adjust firmness without buying new. They're worth it if your mattress is sagging slightly or too firm/soft. For mattresses more than 7-8 years old with significant wear, replacement is usually better.
Do I need a mattress protector?
Yes, a quality mattress protector is worth the investment. It protects against spills, sweat, dust mites, and allergens, extending mattress life. Look for waterproof but breathable options. Most mattress warranties actually require a protector.
How often should you rotate a mattress?
Rotate your mattress head-to-foot every 3-6 months to even out wear. If you have a two-sided mattress, flip it as well. Consistent rotation prevents body impressions from forming in one spot and extends mattress life.
