1. How to choose firmness
Firmness is the most important factor. Most people make the mistake of choosing based on what feels comfortable in a showroom — but a 5-minute test is not sleep.
| Firmness | Best for | Weight range |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 (Soft / Medium-Soft) | Side sleepers, under 65 kg, pressure point issues | < 65 kg |
| 3 (Medium) | Most sleepers — best default choice | 60–90 kg |
| 4 (Medium-Firm) | Back/stomach sleepers, heavier bodies, back pain | 80–110 kg |
| 5 (Firm) | Heavyweight, orthopaedic needs, hospital beds | > 110 kg |
"Over 17 years, the #1 complaint I hear from people who bought without advice: "it felt fine in the shop." Firmness on a cold mattress feels 30% firmer than after 15 minutes of body heat." — Darius K.
2. Mattress materials compared
Each material has specific trade-offs. Here is the honest comparison from someone who builds all of them.
| Material | Pros | Cons | Price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory foam | Body-conforming, silent, pressure relief | Retains heat, slow response | €190–€350 |
| Natural latex | Breathable, durable (15yr), hypoallergenic | Higher cost, heavier | €290–€600 |
| Hybrid | Spring support + foam comfort, cool sleep | Heavier, more complex production | €340–€700 |
| Coconut fibre | Natural, firm, great for back pain | Hard to soften once made | €240–€450 |
3. Which size should you choose?
In Lithuania the most popular single size is 90×200 cm. For couples, 160×200 cm is standard. But standard sizes exist for historical reasons — not because they fit everyone.

Soft–Medium (2–3). Hip and shoulder relief is essential.
Medium–Firm (3–4). Lumbar support prevents lower back pain.
Firm (4–5). Prevents your hips from sinking and straining your spine.
5. Budget vs quality: the honest truth
A mattress you sleep on 8 hours/night for 10 years costs as little as €0.07/night at €260. The question is not "can I afford a good mattress" — it is "can I afford poor sleep for a decade?"
Budget below €150: you are probably buying a foam block that will sag in 2–3 years. Budget €250–450: solid quality that lasts 8–12 years. Budget €500+: premium materials, worth it for heavy or demanding sleepers.
