What is The Plank mattress and is it actually too firm to sleep comfortably on?

Plank Firm mattress in a bedroom.

The Plank Mattress is one of Brooklyn Bedding's firmest, flattest beds. Modelled after the hard, flat beds found in parts of Asia, this all-foam mattress was designed to offer ultra-firm support for those with back pain. However, is it too firm for some sleepers?

A lot of the best mattresses for sturdy support are usually rated as an 8 or a 9 out of 10 on the firmness scale, but The Plank Mattress goes even further — offering 10/10 firmness. While its extra-firm feel ensures that sleepers will be be sturdily supported, the mattress has a double-sided design that allows you to flip it to a firm but softer side (8/10) if you find the firmer side too hard.
