Extra Firm Mattresses
Allow us to introduce you to our highest mattress firmness rating - extra firm mattresses! Our superior range of extra firm mattresses is most suitable for those who prefer the sturdiest sleeping surface available. They're perfect if you love a generously supportive mattress.
Why choose an extra firm mattress?
Extra firm mattresses are often recommended if you need enhanced support for your back. This support is usually lacking in softer mattresses and this can aggravate your back problems. Many of our extra firm mattresses also benefit from additional orthopaedic support. This can help alleviate back pain and help you sleep more soundly.
An extra firm mattress is excellent for evenly distributing your body weight. This is particularly important for those with a larger, heavier build and those who are the most prone to back and neck problems.
Although you may opt for an extra firm mattress, you can still choose from a variety of luxurious soft-touch covers. This means you can enjoy the highest level of support with just a little touch of cushiony comfort.

Advice and buying guides
What's the best extra firm mattress?
The best extra firm mattress is one that provides the very highest level of support. We recommend extra firm mattresses if you love a super-firm feel, sturdy support and no "give" as you lie on the mattress. An extra firm mattress may be particularly suitable for those with a larger-than-average build. You can choose from a variety of extra firm pocket sprung mattresses or orthopaedic mattresses for enhanced care and support for your back.
Can a mattress be too firm?
Yes, sometimes a mattress can be too firm for your needs. For instance, if you are lighter than average, you may find that your mattress feels too firm compared with someone who is heavier. Additionally, if you sleep on your side, you may find that you need a softer mattress. The best mattress firmness rating for you is one that takes your unique sleeping needs into account.
Is an extra firm mattress better for your back?
No, not necessarily! Years ago, extra firm mattresses were recommended for back problems. Today, that's not always the case. Whilst many people do prefer a firmer mattress to support their back, what's best for your back is based on many factors. These factors include your individual weight and shape, your sleeping position and your own personal preferences. Many more comfort and support options are now available than ever before, which play a bigger role in caring for your back than simply the firmness rating of your mattress.
