Frequently Asked Questions
1. What firmness is best for back sleepers?
Medium-firm (6-7/10) mattresses balance spinal alignment and pressure relief. Keetsa Pillow Plus and Novilla Hybrid excel here.
2. Do back sleepers need a firm mattress?
Not necessarily—too firm can cause shoulder/hip pressure. Look for supportive hybrids with 1-2” foam layers (e.g., Inofia, Classic Brands).
3. How long does a mattress take to expand?
Most require 24-72 hours. Zinus and Novilla may take longer in cooler rooms.
4. Is edge support important for back sleepers?
Yes, especially if you sit on the edge. Novilla and Inofia have reinforced edges for stability.
5. Can cooling mattresses help back sleepers?
Yes—gel foams (Novilla) and breathable covers (Inofia) prevent overheating, common with memory foam.
Prices may vary depending on location, promotions, and availability.
