What is firmer?

Firmer is a term that can refer to a type of mattress or an adjective describing a more solid or rigid texture or consistency.

In terms of mattresses, a firmer mattress is generally one that provides more support and less cushioning. This can be beneficial for people who suffer from back pain or other sleep-related issues. Firmness levels in mattresses can vary widely, from very soft to extremely firm, and the appropriate level of firmness can depend on personal preference and individual needs.

Outside of mattresses, the term firmer might be used to describe the texture or consistency of various materials. For example, a firmer pillow might have less give or resistance when squeezed compared to a softer one. Similarly, a firmer cheese might be more solid and dense than a softer cheese.
