Mattress Finder Quiz: Firmness in 60 Seconds

Four questions, one answer: a firmness band from soft to firm, plus the BedBoy listing filtered to match.

Firmness (sometimes labelled tension) is how the surface feels under load, and it is the spec a sleeper notices first. A side sleeper of average build usually wants a softer surface so the hip and shoulder can sink in. A heavier frame, a back sleeper, or anyone managing back or neck pain usually wants a firmer surface that keeps the spine straight.

The form below scores the answers in the browser and forwards to the firmness listing that fits. From there the catalogue can be filtered by size, brand and price. Nothing is stored, no account is needed.

How this quiz scores you

Sleep position and body type are scored on a 1 to 5 scale, where 1 is soft and 5 is firm. Side sleepers pull the score softer. Larger frames push it firmer. A "yes" on back or neck pain adds one tier toward firmer support. The final number maps to the firmness band used to filter the catalogue.

"Prefer not to say" answers are excluded from the average. The scoring runs in the browser; no answers are saved, no profile is built, and no email is requested.
