Can I have a mattress with a choice between medium and firm?

When it comes to preferred bedtimes, the old cliché that “opposites attract” holds true more than everywhere else. If one of you wants a softer mattress and the other a firmer sleeping surface, there is no need for either of you to compromise. There are a few options that may meet the needs of you and your travel buddy.

The Top Mattresses for Newlyweds

Couples often have a lengthy mental to-do list before they ever set foot in a mattress store. You’ll need to choose a mattress that’s big enough for the two of you, and ideally one that minimises motion transfer. But if you and your partner have different standards for what makes a place cosy, what are your options?

Mattresses with Two Cores

As the name suggests, a mattress one side firm one side soft has two separate memory foam “cores” on opposite sides of the bed. You may flip the pillow over and choose between a firmer or softer side, depending on your preference. A dual-core bed allows you to easily switch between soft and firm support by simply unzipping the cover and flipping the mattress.

• This route, however, does come with a few drawbacks. Most dual-core models are rather expensive, especially when considering a king size bed. In addition, memory foam is used almost universally in the cushions. It seems that those who want the firm support of a hybrid mattress are out of luck when it comes to smart beds.
• If you toss and turn all night due to irregular sleeping habits, you may want to invest in a biometric sensor mattress or smart bed. Sensors built into these mattresses can measure how much weight is being placed on them at any one time. They will automatically adjust to your preferred sleeping position.
• A smart bed has all the bells and whistles. They often have supplemental apps that let you adjust various aspects of your comfort with the tap of a finger. This means that it may be out of reach financially for certain people.

Reverse King-Set

Couples who like mattresses of different firmnesses must ultimately settle for a split king mattress. The “split king” mattress size is really just two twin XL beds put side by side. Even while some couples like to have the same mattress on both sides of the bed, the same effect may be achieved by buying two separate twin XL mattresses. If one of you likes a hybrid bed while the other likes an all-foam mattress with a medium-plush feel, then by all means, go ahead and buy separate mattresses.

Conclusion

A mattress topper is a simple and inexpensive way to change the feel of your mattress on one side. It’s not uncommon for one spouse in a couple with a king-size bed to use a twin XL mattress topper to increase their level of comfort. The twin XL mattress will use up exactly half of the room.
