What mattress firmness is best for back pain?

Firmness is a personal comfort choice, not a medical prescription. As a common starting point, many people find a medium-to-firm feel (a firmness level of 3-4) a comfortable place to begin: back sleepers often prefer medium-firm, and side sleepers often prefer a softer feel to ease shoulder and hip pressure. The best firmness depends on your body, weight, and sleep position - our firmness finder helps you choose one shared feel, and our 30-night comfort trial lets you swap the comfort layer if it is not quite right. Want a different feel on each side for you and your partner? We do not make that here - our sister site personalized.eu (personalizuotas.lt) offers genuinely personalised split-firmness, fitted by their sleep ambassador.

Can I get a mattress in a custom non-standard size?

Yes — we make mattresses in any width and length, including unusual dimensions for caravans, boats, attics, and oddly-shaped rooms. Enter your exact cm dimensions and see the price instantly on our website. Custom sizes are delivered in 1-3 weeks — the same as standard sizes, built on the same production line.

About this mattress

Nefele runs on a mini-pocket spring core - the same wrapped-spring principle behind MattressCenter's adult mattresses, but built to a child's lighter weight rather than an adult core simply cut down to size. A 2cm latex layer sits above it, under a linen-knit cover.

The medium (3/5) firmness rating exists specifically because a full adult-firmness core would feel unforgivingly hard to a light body, while still offering enough push-back for a growing spine - this is a genuinely different design brief from Matrest's adult Luxus and Siesta ranges, not a scaled-down copy of them.

At 12cm, Nefele is the shortest model in its own family, matched to a junior or toddler bed frame. Its siblings, Nefele Premium and Nefele Supreme, share this exact mini-pocket core and simply add more latex on top - 3cm and 4cm respectively - for a child who wants extra softness as they grow, with the spring support staying constant.

5-year warranty applies. Once a child outgrows the 10-16cm junior height band this family sits in, MattressCenter's Matrest Kids Teens range is the natural next step.
