Firmness Info
Firm feel top of the bed you need - no sink or give. Comfortable, yet solid under your body. Extra support - best for back and stomach sleepers, or side sleepers with larger body types. A 8-9 on the firmness scale.
The Birch Mattress was designed with a medium-firm feel. If you're looking for something softer, we offer a Plush Pillow Top that lays directly on top of your Birch to provide an extra soft layer - this 3" pillow top can be purchased after you receive the mattress if you do want a softer feel or with your mattress.
