How to Choose the Right Mattress Thickness
Share
If you’re shopping for a new mattress online, one of the first questions you’ll face is:
“What mattress thickness is best for me?”
At Matoresu, we believe your mattress should do more than support your sleep — it should align with your lifestyle, your body, and your values. Whether you prioritize ergonomic support, breathable materials, or a luxurious feel, choosing the right thickness is key to long-term comfort and satisfaction.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the differences between 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch mattresses — and help you select the best option based on your sleep style, body weight, and comfort preferences.
🔹 What Does Mattress Thickness Mean?
Mattress thickness refers to the total height of your mattress — typically between 6" and 14". A thicker mattress generally includes more layers of high-performance foam, breathable fabrics, or pocketed coils. This translates to better pressure relief, long-term durability, and improved support for various body types.
