The best firm(ish) vegan mattress for a petite side sleeper?

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your enquiry and the compliment in respect of the content of our site. When it comes to Vegan mattresses you're either going to be looking for Natural Latex, Synthetic man-made materials or the ultimate Natural Fibre; Plant-based upholstery which is biodegradable.

Choosing a support level for your bodyweight

The first consideration when choosing a new mattress would be your body weight, which is light and as such, we would not recommend any mattress with a firm spring tension/feel. Your body weight suggests that you ought to be looking for a soft spring tension, even though you have previously slept on firm products and this may be the reason for you aching joints, which can also be caused by using a memory foam mattress, which does not offer the right support.

For your bodyweight a medium to firm feel in the upholstery layer will give you he firm (ish) feel you require. You do require a soft spring though for your bodyweight. Remember: it's the upholstery that gives the mattress its feel not the spring system alone.

Both options are available in King Size and above in our Artisan Latex vegan mattress. Zip and Link’s are ideal where access into the room of your choice is restricted and where one user tends to disturb the other.

The Artisan Latex is a medium feel in the upholstery layers and features Coir, Flax,100% Natural Latex and Cotton. If you are a hot sleeper, natural fibres offer the coolest sleep surface. Given your light bodyweight it's going to have a slightly firmer feel. All components are biodegradable at the end of its life or recyclable at different waste collection centres.
