Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

A good quality mattress typically has a thickness of at least 8 to 14 inches (And 2" to 5" thicker if it is made two sided). However, the ideal thickness can depend on several factors, including personal preference, body weight, and sleeping position.

Here’s a breakdown of thickness considerations:

1. 8-10 Inches: Generally considered the minimum for a quality mattress, this thickness often works well for lighter individuals or those who prefer a firmer feel.
2. 10-12 Inches: This is a common thickness range for many high-quality mattresses. It provides a good balance of comfort, support, and durability for most people.
3. 12-14 Inches: Thicker mattresses often offer more cushioning and support, making them ideal for heavier individuals.
4. 14+ Inches: Ultra-thick mattresses offer additional layers for comfort and longevity.

Beyond thickness, it’s also important to consider the quality of materials (like layers of latex), construction, and your specific comfort needs when choosing a mattress.
