Preference: People with joint or back pain might find firm beds are more comfortable to sleep on than soft bed. I would suggest to stick to what you feel it is better for you.

Firm: A firm mattress will keep you in your anatomical position so usually better for the body. However each person and the medical needs should be evaluated individually

Bed: The best bed is the one you get the best sleep. Some people feel better on firm bed as they get better back support, but some people like the soft for the way it molds to there body. This is personal preference.
