Hey all, so I’ve been doing research for a long while and I think I’ve finally decided on a L&C mattress. It’s either the medium plush or luxury firm if so. After reading review after review, reddit thread after thread it seems both are quite firm and great in their own right which is the cause of this post.

I honestly really feel like I’m in the middle here between plush and firm. I know they have the great 120 night sleep trial incase I pick the wrong one which is great, but I’d rather make the best and most informed choice possible first.

L&C Mattress

About me: -5’8, 170lbs, average build, 23y/o, sleeps alone, queen size -$1200 budget -Mattress will be on an IKEA bed “Malm” with Ikea slats “Luroy” -Coming from a hybrid and now a foam (both sealy), both on their last legs and old. -I prefer bounce, but not a requirement -I’m a combo sleeper, probably 60% back/stomach, 40% side -Currently having lower back soreness when I wake up, sometimes even upper back/shoulder included -Pillow between the legs when side sleeping helps the knees right now -I work a very labour intensive job -I sleep warm

Medium Plush: -Medium Plush on the website is a 5.5 on the firmness scale, apparently best suited for combination sleepers and especially side sleepers, and good for lighter body types -“soothing balance of cushioning and support”

Luxury Firm: -7.5 on the firmness scale, good for stomach and back sleepers, good for heavier body times -“solid base of support across the entire mattress, with a subtle amount of pillow-top cushioning to ease pressure points.”

Looking for any recommendations, help, and opinions. Especially from anyone with either of these. I’m also open to any other mattress on the Canadian market.

Thanks for reading, and have a great new year!
