The reason a sprung base feels softer is that the base moves with your mattress as you move during your sleep, whereas a platform base offers a more solid level of support. If you're looking to firm up your mattress, a platform&nbsp;<a href=\"\/beds\/bed-bases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">divan base<\/a>&nbsp;will likely make your mattress feel a lot more solid.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"26px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-last-case-scenario-opt-for-a-new-firmer-mattress\"><strong>Last Case Scenario - Opt For A New Firmer Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you have purchased a softer mattress and it is causing you problems with sleep, it may be a wise option to look into purchasing a new firmer one. It is always important to check if the mattress you like offers a sleep trial - many brands offer a trial to provide you with the security to exchange your mattress if it isn\u2019t quite right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A good mattress is critical to both mental and physical health. Sleeping on the right mattress is essential to getting a good night's sleep free of back and neck pain. Considering that we spend a third or more of our lives on a mattress, investing in a good ones seems like a no-brainer. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The type of mattress that's best for you is dependant on a variety of factors, one of which is how you prefer to sleep. <\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"30px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Front Sleeper Mattress<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Although it isn't good for the spine, many people still prefer to sleep on their front. One of the few benefits of doing so is that it can reduce snoring. If you sleep on your stomach it's recommended that you try a <a href=\"\/mattresses\/firm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">firmer mattress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"30px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Sleeper Mattress<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Most people sleep on their side, even though it can on occasion lead to experiencing a numb arm. Because sleeping like this can lead to a pressure build-up in the spine, a softer tension mattress is recommended. A soft or <a href=\"\/mattresses\/soft-medium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medium-soft mattress<\/a> will mould around your body to help alleviate some of the pressure.
