Hi! I’ve narrowed my new mattress choice down to the Nolah Evolution 15” hybrid. However, I’m unsure whether I need plush or luxury firm. For reference: I am 5’4 and my weight fluctuates between 125 and 130. I definitely always fall asleep on my side. I do know that I toss and turn, so I’m not sure what I do at night, but I do feel like I often awaken on my side. What would you recommend — plush or luxury firm? Thanks!
Hi laverneshirley,
The one nice thing about testing the mattress first is the ability to eliminate mattresses that you recognize from the start are not going to work. Usually those fall into the too soft category. It is always better to lean to the firmer side as you can soften the surface.
As you know a lighter person will perceive a mattress a bit firmer than a heavier person would perceive that same mattress.
While no one can definitively say one or the other will end up being better. If the mattress is too soft, there is not much you can do to firm it up. Keep in mind that all other bases are covered. Proper foundation, slat distance etc. The more solid and flat, the more the mattress will feel firm. It wont make if more firm, it just offers a more solid foundation so the mattress does not flex as much.
Hopefully this helps
Norm
