Super firm mattresses

Some sleepers simply prefer very little give at the surface. Super Firm mattresses sit towards the firmer end of the comfort spectrum, but firmer isn't automatically better. Try the mattress, and use Forty Winks bedMATCH® to get the support part right.

About super firm mattresses

What super firm means

Super firm is a comfort label for mattresses with a very firm surface and minimal sink, a step firmer than a standard firm mattress in the same brand's range. You lie on the mattress rather than in it. As with every comfort label, the exact feel varies between brands.

Super firm mattresses in our range

Our super firm options come from King Koil and Crown Posture Bedding. They include the Crown Posture Bedding Physio, which pairs a 5-zoned pocketed coil spring system with gel-infused memory foam, and the King Koil Chiro Prestige, exclusive to Forty Winks, with its Reflex Precision Ultra Support System. Super firm mattresses come in every size from single to super king; explore the full King Koil and Crown Posture Bedding ranges for more.

Who might choose super firm

Sleepers who like a very flat, steady surface often choose super firm, as do some heavier sleepers who find firm mattresses still too soft for their taste. Back and stomach sleepers are more likely to enjoy it than side sleepers, who usually want more cushioning at the shoulder and hip. Firmness is a preference rather than a measure of support, so a very firm mattress is not automatically the better choice.

Trying super firm before you buy

Compare a super firm mattress with a firm and an ultra firm option in your usual sleep position, and give each a few minutes rather than a quick sit. A trusted Sleep Advisor can run Forty Winks bedMATCH® in-store, which measures your body and recommends a support level before you choose a feel. Selected King Koil and Crown Posture Bedding ranges are covered by the Forty Winks 90 Night Comfort Guarantee.
