The Structure of a Flippable Mattress

Lets look at the basic structure of a modern day mattress. There are usually three layers in a mattress; comfort layer, transition layer and the support layer.

The comfort layer is the top layer that sleepers feel when they sleep on a mattress. It usually is plush and depending on the material offers a degree of contouring and cushioning for the body. Manufacturers even use special materials like gel-infused memory foam to help transfer body heat away from the mattress in order to give you a cooler night's sleep.

After the comfort layer is a transition layer. It usually is the second softest layer of a mattress. It acts as a buffer between the comfort layer and the support layer so you don't end up sinking all the way to the bottom of the mattress.

The bottom layer of the mattress, also known as the support layer, is the firmest layer of the mattress that pushes back against the weighted pressure of the sleeper. Without this layer you wouldn't have any form of support or pressure relief cause you would sink into an awkward position or hit a hard surface like a bed frame. Most sleepers would not sleep directly on this layer because it is simply too firm or if it were a spring based mattress you would be sleeping on the coils directly.

Hang on...What you described is a one sided mattress right?

Yes, that's because most modern mattresses are one sided with asymmetrical design. A two sided flippable mattress exists because of its symmetrical design and/or similar layer materials. A full memory foam mattress is flippable because the whole mattress is foam. It would be a matter of whether you want to sleep on a medium or soft comfort layer or the firmer foam support layer.

A flippable hybrid mattress exists because there is a layer under the support layer that can act as a comfort/transition layer. However, most hybrid mattresses are actually one sided asymmetrically designed. If you flipped and tried to sleep on it, it would literally be a bed of springs...ouch!

The difference between plush and firm mattress

Before we delve further into the benefits of a double-sided mattress, it’s crucial to understand the difference between plush and firm mattresses. The firmness level of a mattress significantly impacts your comfort and the quality of your sleep.

A plush mattress offers a softer, more cushioning feel, while a firm mattress provides more support and tends to feel firmer. A plush mattress contours to your body shape like a warm hug from your grandma, it’s perfect for side sleepers because it allows your hips and shoulders to sink into the mattress, taking the tension off different parts of the body, which need varying degress of support. Plus, it’s like sleeping on a cloud, who wouldn’t want that? But what if I am a stomach or a back sleeper? The firm mattress is your new best friend. It offers better support and, reduces the risk of back pain.

Now, I know what you are thinking. “How can I decide between plush and firm?” Fear not, my friend! The flippable mattress is here to save the day. Double-sided mattresses offer different firmness levels on each side, providing the versatility to switch between plush and firm as per your comfort needs. 

Benefits of a double-sided mattress

Comfort

With a double-sided mattress, you get not one, but two levels of comfort. It’s like having a buffer of sleep options at your fingertips. Feeling a little stiff? Just flip the mattress over to the firm side, want to sink into a cloud of fluffiness? Flip it over to the plush side. Are double-sided mattresses only offering two firmness levels?

Of course, there is more than that. You can know the double-sided mattress is flippable due to its ingenious structure, some manufacturers found that firmness level can be created by unique cuts and distribution within the materials. SweetNight Prime Memory Foam Mattress took advantage of Contouring Curve^TM, in order to achieve 4 firmness options. No matter what kind of sleeping position you are in, you can find the ideal comfort level for you on this mattress.

Adjustability

For the enthusiast of sports, frequent pain, strain, or injuries during exercises, how to have a restorative and restful sleep becomes a challenge. A recent systematic review found that a medium-firm mattress can promote comfort, sleep quality, and rachis alignment. This is good news for anyone looking to improve their sleep experience - a medium-firm mattress for optimal sleep comfort and quality. Is it worth investing in a medium-firm mattress for the short term? Or it is more practical to adjust the firmness on your current double-sided mattress?

You can also flip the mattress depending on your needs even in the most significant stage of your life. Pregnancy comes with its own set of challenges. It's important to ensure that you're sleeping in a position that's safe for your growing fetus as your belly grows. A perfect mattress should accommodate your changing sleep needs and your changing body shape. A double-sided flippable mattress offers different firmness levels that can easily tick your box since it can adapt to your changing support needs over a specific period.

Durability

Realise, you’re stuck with one side if you are with a regular mattress. We all have our favorite sleeping positions that we stick like glue.

It’s similar to taking a brief vacation from your mattress.

Couples should also not be overlooked. Although compromise is necessary for a happy partnership, there are occasions when it simply isn’t possible when it comes to sleep preferences. You can each have your own level of firmness on a double-sided mattress without sacrificing comfort. It’s similar to having your own separate beds but without the discomfort of doing so.
