Actually, a firm mattress doesn't mean that you get a better night's sleep. The best mattress is one that offers the best support. So, both firm and softer mattresses can either be good or bad for you. If you haven't already heard abouth either memory foam or latex it's well worth checking out both of these comparatively new mattress types and they are generally acknowledged as being the best modern technology can offer.
