From Katie -
I need a queen size mattress but I don’t know what’s best for me. My lower back isn’t good and can sometimes cause me problems, but I like a softer feeling mattress. I looked at a few different mattresses on your site and thought they might be good:
Sealy Gem Turquoise Plush Pillowtop
Serta Sertapedic Heiress Euro Top
Sealy Graceful Plush Euro Top
Simmons DeepSleep Mount Princeton Pillowtop
I’m an average size woman, what would you recommend?
Hi Katie,
My best suggestion is to go to a local mattress store and try some different mattresses until you find something that feels good to you. We can then match whatever model you find if you have the specifications of the mattress (size, coil count, foam). It is very difficult to recommend a mattress with the information that you have given me.
I usually recommend something that has a medium level of firmness for people with pain in the lower back, although you did say that you prefer a softer mattress. It is best to choose a mattress that is just soft enough to be comfortable while still offering some good firm support would be the best choice. The four mattresses that you have listed below are all too soft in my opinion, if you have a problem with your lower back.
You would be better suited to a firmer mattress such as the Vast Sky Plush mattress set by Sealy or the Serta Elite Calm Pillow Soft.
