Looking for a very comfortable and very soft mattress? There are a lot of these around. Simmons Mattress Company is purported to have the softest and the plushest mattress around. If you have seen that commercial of a bowling bowl dropped on a mattress, it is from this company.
An innerspring mattress is usually softer than other types of mattress like air, latex and especially memory foam (these ones are usually very firm). The more innersprings integrated in the mattress, the softer it gets. This is because the springs integrated are not as thick.
If you want an even softer mattress surface, you can always go for a wool fleece mattress pad. This will complete your craving for an ultra soft mattress. The key there is in the materials used. Pick those that are made form soft materials such as fleece, cotton and satin.
You might also want to go for water beds. Since water conforms seamlessly to body contours, it will surely have the softness you want. Another advantage to this mattress is that you can heat it up during winter so it is even more comfortable.
There is a point to ponder on though. While these mattresses may seem like the most comfortable mattress in the world, it is still not a good idea to solely rely on softness for comfort. In fact, most people who purchased a very soft bed could not sleep on it because it triggers the development of back aches.
Your back, especially your upper body needs more support. That means, it requires more mattress firmness on that area. Just a suggestion, instead of purchasing a plush bed, consider your body type and what your body really needs. Soft does not really equate to comfort in the mattress industry.
Opt for those beds with a combination of plushness and firmness just like talalay latex. It is a softer kind of latex mattress. This will give you a balanced firmness and softness. If you want to make it a lot softer as you are used to that kind of bed, you can always place a wool fleece pad on top of it.
This is a point you should consider before you buy a mattress. But whatever you do, make sure that it is really the right mattress that will address your body and sleep concerns. Consider comfort and support above everything else so you will end up with the best mattress.
