For a Better Night's Sleep: Ergonomics of Our Mattresses

It’s not only how long you sleep—it’s the quality. If you wake up tired or with back/neck tension, your mattress may not be giving you the right mix of pressure relief and spinal support. The ideal mattress keeps your spine relaxed as you change position, so your body (including your intervertebral discs) can recover overnight.

How to Choose the Best Mattress

  • Support first: Too soft or too firm can make you toss and turn. Aim for a balanced, ergonomic feel.
  • Pressure relief: Shoulders and hips need gentle give—especially for side sleepers.
  • Spinal alignment: Neutral spine = better morning recovery.

Why Midsummer Milano Mattresses Are Ergonomic

Our mattresses are handcrafted by Italian artisans using natural materials—warmer layers for winter, fresh and breathable for summer. The core uses premium pocket springs tuned for alignment:

  • 3-zone springs in firmer models: softer at shoulders/pelvis to keep the spine straight.
  • 7-zone springs in softer models: contouring across the full back for precise support.
  • Even single-zone builds use varied wire diameters to preserve neutral posture.

Result: stable support + targeted relief = fewer micro-awakenings and a more rested morning.

Match Firmness to Your BMI

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple way to narrow the right feel that lasts for years. As a rule of thumb (adjust for preference and sleeping position):

Suggested BMI Range Typical Feel Why
< 20 Softer–Medium More give for bony prominences; reduces shoulder/hip pressure.
20–27 Medium Balanced contour + support for most sleepers.
> 27 Medium–Firm / Firm Prevents excessive sink; keeps spine in neutral.

Use our quick BMI calculator to refine your pick.

Best Mattress by Sleeping Position

  • Side sleepers: Stay close to your BMI suggestion to cushion shoulders/hips while keeping alignment.
  • Stomach sleepers: Go a touch firmer to avoid mid-section “bowing” and lumbar strain.
  • Back sleepers: Slightly firmer than BMI baseline helps maintain neutral curves.
