Mattress Pressure Relief Explained

Pressure relief is about how the mattress distributes load at body contact points. It is a comfort characteristic, not a medical treatment claim.

Firmness matters

A surface that is too firm may concentrate load; one that is too soft may allow excessive sink.

Material response

Memory foam contours slowly and closely, while latex tends to distribute load with faster rebound.

Sleep position

Side sleepers often notice pressure most at the shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers focus more on balanced support.

Avoid medical promises

A mattress can change comfort and pressure distribution, but it should not be marketed as treating medical conditions without appropriate evidence.
