Choosing a Mattress for Couples: Motion, Size and Firmness
Couples should choose at least Queen size, look for good motion isolation (pocket springs, foam or latex) and decide how to handle different firmness preferences, possibly with a dual-firmness build.
Key points
- Size first. A Queen is the practical minimum for two adults; King gives more room.
- Motion isolation. Pocket springs, memory foam and latex reduce movement transfer so one person's turning disturbs the other less.
- Different firmness preferences. A dual-firmness build uses two comfort levels in one mattress where the factory supports it.
- Heat. Two bodies generate more heat. Choose breathable materials in hot cities.
