People must consider their body weight when they’re selecting a mattress. The more someone weighs, the firmer their mattress should be. This applies to weights within the average range as well as beyond it! Weight matters because it will put pressure on different parts of the body when people are asleep. It also influences the way they sleep!
How the person’s weight is distributed also influences the type of mattress that will support their body best and be the most comfortable. Heavier people, especially those where their weight is primarily in their shoulders or waist, typically need a firmer mattress. Those whose weight is evenly distributed and who are quite light often find softer mattresses are better for their needs.
