Women's fur coat - I think it is a size 12

Joy from Greenlane

I don't know anything about this jacket and it has no labels - it was given to my daughter when her Nana died.

It is very soft and seems to be in good condition.

If you are interested, please make an offer ...

Discover the key to a great night's sleep by finding the perfect mattress firmness. Learn how to choose between soft, medium, and firm options to enhance your sleep quality and boost your daily energy.

Let’s break it down into simple terms to help you make an informed decision that can transform your sleep quality and, by extension, your daily energy levels.

Spinal Alignment and Support
One of the most critical aspects of mattress selection is the support it provides to your spine.

Firm mattresses are often recommended for back and stomach sleepers as they offer a stable support system that maintains natural spinal alignment. This reduces the risk of waking up with back pain or discomfort.

On the other hand, soft mattresses can be a haven for side sleepers. The extra “give” in a soft mattress accommodates the hips and shoulders, aligning the spine correctly when lying on your side.
However, it's not just about sleep position; weight also plays a role.

Heavier individuals might find that a firm mattress provides better support, preventing the feeling of sinking too deeply into the mattress, which can misalign the spine.

Conversely, lighter individuals may prefer the cushioning of a soft mattress.

Durability and Lifespan
Investing in a mattress is a significant decision, and understanding the longevity of your purchase is essential.

Typically, firm mattresses have a longer lifespan because they are less prone to sagging over time. The dense and tightly packed materials in a firm mattress resist the indentations that softer mattresses might develop, especially in areas under continuous pressure from body weight.

While providing luxurious comfort and excellent pressure relief, soft mattresses might require more frequent replacement if the materials start to compress and lose their supportive properties.
This is something to consider if you’re looking for a mattress that will maintain its comfort and support for many years.

Comfort, Pressure Relief, and Temperature Regulation
Soft mattresses excel at providing pressure relief, which is particularly beneficial for those with joint pain or conditions like arthritis.

The cushioning effect of a soft mattress cradles the body’s contours, reducing pressure points and promoting a more restful sleep.

However, temperature regulation is another vital factor to consider.

Firm mattresses typically facilitate better airflow around the body, staying cooler throughout the night. This can be a significant advantage if you tend to sleep hot.

Soft mattresses, due to their enveloping nature, might retain more body heat, potentially leading to discomfort for some sleepers.
