The Firmness Ratings

Simple
10 Point Scale:

 
Our Firmness Ratings is based on a standard 10 point scale from 1 (firm) to 10 (soft).

Firmness Ratings of 1

Similar to sleeping on the living room carpeted floor. At this point in time there are no mattresses that actually provide this level of firmness.
 
Firmness Ratings of 2 to 4

These are the firmest to the hardest mattresses in the industry.

Firmness Ratings of 4.5 to 6.5

Mattresses in this range are a great compromise. Midrange firmness levels. Generally if you don't have a preference with regard to the mattress firmness this mattress would be ideal. Similar to a mattress firmness you might find at a hotel.

Firmness Ratings  of 7 to 9.5

These mattresses feel very soft. Similar to what you might find if you added a featherbed or egg crates to your mattress.  Generally these are pillow tops.

Firmness Ratings of 10
A mattress with the level of ten would be the softest mattress you could imagine.
