Firmness is very subjective and really depends on the individual. Some people prefer a softer mattress while other prefer to sleep on an extra firm mattress.
If you sleep on your side you may prefer a softer mattress because it will cause less pressure on your shoulders and hips.
If you sleep on your stomach or back you may prefer a firmer mattress to provide you with added support. Every mattress breaks down over time and becomes a little bit softer over the years.
Buying a mattress that is super soft may not be the best option as it will only get softer over time and may lack the needed support after a few years. Ultimately it’s your personal choice to decide what feels better for you, Firm or Soft.
