Frequently Asked Questions
About Ultra Firm & Extra Firm Mattresses
How to Choose the Right Ultra Firm Mattress
An ultra firm mattress isn’t for everyone, but it can be a good fit for sleepers who want maximum support.
An ultra firm mattress sits at the top of the firmness scale and is typically rated a 9 or 10 out of 10. It provides the highest level of resistance with minimal contouring. Ultra firm is the right choice for sleepers who want the most support possible. Sam's Club carries ultra firm mattresses in innerspring and hybrid options in all standard sizes. For a slightly softer feel, browse firm mattresses as well.
Who Is an Ultra Firm Mattress Right For?
Ultra firm mattresses are best suited to stomach sleepers who need a very rigid surface to keep the hips from sinking and the lower back from arching. Sleepers who find that standard firm mattresses still compress too much tend to benefit from an ultra firm option. Some back sleepers who prefer a very flat, even surface and strong lower back support also do well on an ultra firm mattress.
Side sleepers and lighter-weight sleepers generally find an ultra firm mattress uncomfortable at pressure points. For those sleep positions, a soft or medium mattress is a more comfortable choice.
Ultra Firm vs. Firm: What’s the Difference?
A firm mattress rates around a 7 to 8 out of 10 and still has some give, so it works better for a wider range of sleepers. An ultra firm mattress has almost no sink, which gives maximum support, but it can feel too rigid for some sleepers. If you’re not sure, start with firm and move up, if necessary.
