3 Types of Mattresses
Memory foam
also known as viscoelastic foam, this material is characterized by the ability to compress due to body heat and pressure, so it tends to adapt to your body shape. This behaviour makes foam mattresses the best for side sleepers as they cushion pressure points in addition to keeping the spine aligned. Memory foam also takes the lead in motion isolation, but it’s known to sleep hot.
Latex
while relatively firmer than memory foam, latex is also known for its pressure-relieving support. Slightly softer latex mattresses are excellent for side sleepers as they are great at keeping the spine aligned. Unlike memory foam, latex does not sleep overly hot. 100% natural latex also offers a superb option for individuals looking for a less toxic bed solution.
Hybrid and innerspring
hybrid mattresses come with a base of individually pocketed coils and foam layers on top. These mattresses offer a happy medium in terms of comfort, support, and pressure relief. If you’re considering an innerspring mattress, a bed with a pillow top will be more comfortable.
