Plush comfort and pressure relief
Soft and Plush Mattresses on Sale
A soft or medium-soft mattress lets your shoulders and hips sink in slightly. Side sleepers and lighter sleepers often prefer that, because it relieves pressure at those points and keeps the spine in line.

Who tends to like a soft mattress
Side sleepers carry most of their weight on the shoulder and hip, so a plush top layer that lets those areas sink usually feels better than a hard one. Lighter sleepers also compress a mattress less, so a softer build can feel more comfortable at the same weight.
Where soft can go wrong
Stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers can sink too far into a very soft mattress, which can bend the lower back. If you sleep in several positions, a medium-soft or medium feel with a responsive top layer is a safer choice. Always lie on it in your normal position for several minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Is a soft mattress better for side sleepers?
Often. A soft to medium feel lets the shoulders and hips sink slightly, which many side sleepers prefer. Personal preference still decides.
Is a soft mattress bad for your back?
It can be if you sink too far and your spine bends out of line. Check that your body stays reasonably straight when you lie on it.
What does medium-soft mean?
It sits between soft and medium: plush at the surface with some support underneath. It suits many side and combination sleepers.
