Firm Mattresses
Choosing a firm mattress often starts with wanting to feel supported all night long. A good firm mattress keeps your hips level with your shoulders, which helps your spine stay aligned when you sleep on your stomach or your back. And firm doesn't mean uncomfortable.
At Avanti, every model comes in a firm version, with a comfort layer of eco-friendly latex or memory foam over solid support. All our mattresses are handmade at our factory in Saint-Narcisse, Quebec, with CertiPUR-US® and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified foams.
Who is a firm mattress for?
The right firmness depends on how you sleep and on your body type. A firm mattress is especially well suited to:
- Stomach sleepers, since it keeps the hips from sinking and arching the lower back.
- Back sleepers who like to feel solid support under the lumbar area.
- People with a heavier build, who put more pressure on the mattress.
- Anyone who prefers to sleep "on" the mattress rather than "in" it.
Do you sleep mostly on your side? A medium-firm mattress or a soft mattress will let your shoulders and hips sink in just enough.
Firm doesn't mean hard
A good firm mattress combines two things: a support core that doesn't give way and a comfort layer that gently follows the contours of your body. On our hybrid models, the pocket springs are arranged in parallel with a reinforced centre, where the back and hips carry about 75% of your body weight. On top, a layer of latex or memory foam relieves pressure points. The result: firm support, without the feeling of sleeping on a board.

"Firm" doesn't always mean the same thing from one brand to the next. The best way to confirm your choice is still to lie down for a few minutes in your usual sleeping position.
