A Complete Novilla Mattress Thickness Guide

For a quality sleep, choosing the best mattress is a prerequisite. And the mattress thickness is essential for a perfect purchase, which depends on many factors, including your height, sleeping position, and whether you share a bed, etc. This is not a simple thing, and that is why we are here to help you make a better decision.

What To Consider When Determining On Mattress Thickness

If you want a durable mattress that steadily delivers comfort and support, it should be 8 inches thick (minimum requirement), including a comfort layer of 2-3 inches thick and a support layer of 5-6 inches. Typically, the thicker mattresses are viewed as the height of softness and durability. And meanwhile, when deciding the mattress thickness, you also need to consider:

Best Mattress Thickness For Different Sleeping Positions

Back sleepers

"It's more easy for back sleepers (sleeping in the healthiest position) to find an ideal mattress. The 8-10 inches mattresses could be suitable, which responses instantly to support hips and shoulders. "

Side sleepers

"Side sleepers need a thicker mattress to provide pressure-relieving comfort to cradle pressure points on their shoulders and hips. And a mattress between 12 and 14 inches is the best choice. "

Stomach sleepers

"Stomach sleepers, with lying face-down, they need a thinner and firmer mattress, roughly ranging from 10 to 12 inches thick. It prevents them sagging too much and keeps their bodies aligned. "

Combo sleepers

12-inch thick mattresses may be comfortable for combination sleepers. Since they tend to change their positions a lot throughout the night, a medium feel mattress could provide them a balance between firmness and softness.

Additional Considerations For The Best Mattresses Thickness

Body Weight

Your body weight determines the pressure you put onto your mattress. Usually, lightweight sleepers (less than 130 pounds) fit well on 12+ inches thick mattresses; average sleepers (between 130 to 230 pounds), on 10 to 12 inches thick mattresses; plus-size sleepers (above 230 pounds), on 12 to 14-inch thick mattresses.

Total Bed Height

Ideally, the total height of a bed, including the foundation or frame and the mattress, should be around 25 inches. If not, it might be difficult for someone to get in or out the bed. So, you can choose the mattress thickness according to your existing bed base and preferences.

Sharing a Bed with Your Partner?

Compared to sleeping alone, sharing a bed with a partner will add more gravity on your mattress, making a mattress at least 10 to 12 inches thick a good option to you. Plus, construction with a support layer at 6 inches thick would be more durable and stable.
