Medium firm mattresses

Want a little more resistance than Medium without heading straight to the firmest end of the range? Medium Firm can sit in that in-between territory. Compare models in-store, because comfort labels can feel surprisingly different from brand to brand.

Where medium firm sits on the comfort scale

Medium firm gives you a little more push-back than a medium mattress while keeping some cushioning at the surface, so you settle in slightly without sinking. It suits sleepers who find medium a touch soft but firm a touch hard. Because brands label their comfort feels differently, a medium firm from one maker can be close to another maker's medium or firm, which is why trying the mattress matters more than the label.

Medium firm mattresses in our range

Our medium firm options currently come from TEMPUR^®, in the CoolQuilt Pro collection, the same range our soft page shows in its softer feel. These mattresses layer a breathable, cool-touch quilted cover over pressure-relieving TEMPUR^® material, which moulds to your shape and then holds it. They are available in long single, king single, queen and king. Explore the full TEMPUR^® mattress range, or the summer cooling range if you sleep warm.

Who might prefer medium firm

Medium firm is often chosen by back sleepers who want a little more cushioning than a firm mattress gives, and by combination sleepers who move between their back and side. Couples whose preferences sit either side of medium sometimes meet in the middle here. If you are unsure, compare it in-store against a medium and a firm mattress so you can feel the difference directly.

Trying medium firm in store

TEMPUR^® material responds to body heat and pressure, so give it a few minutes to settle around you before you judge the feel. A trusted Sleep Advisor can run Forty Winks bedMATCH^® first, which measures your body and recommends a support level, and then show you how the medium firm option compares.
