Another factor can also be the age of your mattress. Older mattresses can decrease the quality of your sleep, and can also cause back discomfort which can also lead to restless nights.**<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picking a new mattress doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. There is so much information out there.

Some people like a very firm mattress, and others like a softer one. When you are sharing a bed with your partner, things can get hot really quickly, and we don\u2019t mean in a sexy way. A cool room is optimal for sleep, and if one person is too hot, that means neither of you will get a good night\u2019s sleep. Did you know that how you sleep also determines what type of mattress you will find comfortable?\u00a0 Generally:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stomach sleepers are more comfortable with firmer mattresses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side sleepers need softer mattresses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back sleepers are somewhere in between<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A medium firm mattress is actually better for conditions like lower back pain and is a great compromise if you like something softer and your partner likes more firm support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Editor-In-Chief\u2019s mattress pick is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmorning.com\/?utm_source=divine&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=publication_10_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoodMorning.com\u2019s<\/a> Logan &amp; Cove Luxury Pillow Top Mattress.
