Soft Mattresses

If you sleep on your side, your mattress has one job above all: let your shoulders and hips sink in just enough to keep your spine straight. That's exactly what a soft mattress does. Its comfort layer follows your curves and relieves pressure points, while the pocket springs or support foam underneath keep you from sagging.

At Avanti, every model comes in a soft version, and several include a cooling gel so the cradling feel doesn't trap heat. All our mattresses are handmade in Saint-Narcisse, Quebec.

Who should choose a soft mattress?

A soft mattress (also called plush) is ideal if:

  • You sleep mostly on your side: your shoulders and hips sink in slightly, and your spine stays straight.
  • You have a lighter build and find firm mattresses uncomfortable.
  • You wake up with numbness in your shoulders or hips.
  • You like the feeling of being cradled by your bed.

Do you sleep on your stomach? A firm mattress will keep your lower back from arching. Do you change positions often? Take a look at the medium-firm mattress.

Soft, but still supportive

A mattress gets its softness from its comfort layers; its support comes from what lies underneath. On our hybrid models, 800 to 1,020 pocket springs with centre reinforcement support the back and hips. On our all-foam models, a dense support foam plays that role. You get a soft surface without sinking all the way to the bottom of the bed.

A soft mattress that doesn't trap heat

The deeper you sink into a mattress, the more of your body is in contact with the foam. That's why our soft models focus on keeping you cool:

  • ActiveBreeze fabric, made from a fibre used in sportswear, which wicks moisture away quickly.
  • ActiveIce temperature-regulating cover on the REVE collection and the Vita model.
  • Viscogel foam, a temperature-regulating gel that keeps your body about 4°C cooler.
  • 360° aerated foam, which circulates air and draws moisture away.

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Our team is here to help at 1 800 315-4080.

Is a soft mattress bad for your back?

Not if it has good deep support. The problem is a soft mattress that sags, not a plush comfort layer. Our soft models rest on pocket springs or a dense support foam.

What's the difference between soft and medium-firm?

A soft mattress lets your body sink in more, which relieves the shoulders and hips of side sleepers. Medium-firm offers a more versatile middle ground if you change positions.

Memory foam or latex for a soft mattress?

Memory foam offers a more pronounced cradling feel. Latex is more responsive, more breathable and naturally dust mite resistant. Our article latex vs memory foam explains the differences in detail.

Will my soft mattress lose its shape over time?

A slight body impression is normal. To prevent it, rotate the mattress once a month during the first year, then four times a year, and set it on a base with centre support.
