Including the various hybrids and sub-types out on the market, there are currently more mattress types than you can count using both hands. Choosing the right one for you can feel like picking out a new smartphone, or even a car! Because you\u2019re going to be using a mattress on a daily basis, it\u2019s important to consider all the differences between mattress types, as well as small nuances and specifics that arise from each kind of material and design.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t want to end up with an imperfect fit. The caliber and class of a mattress as well as its compatibility with your needs is one of the major factors of sleep quality. Below is a general rundown of the common kinds of mattresses: their traits, pros and cons.<\/p>\n
Sometimes called coil mattresses, innerspring models are one of the most traditional, accessible and versatile mattresses; maintaining a level of popularity throughout the decades. Using coils for support, they are the natural partner to classic box springs that are built similarly. However, innerspring mattresses come in wide variety of styles and firmness levels; and can work well with box foundations and platforms. Coil count is typically associated with increasing comfort, support and contour; but other factors, such as coil gauge, mattress padding, and upholstery, also play a part.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above, one of the best thing about innerspring mattresses is that there\u2019s a lot of different sub-types to choose from. This also means that the price range is significantly broad; you\u2019ll be able to find a firmness level you like for an affordable price that won\u2019t burn a hole in your pocket. Another positive is that these mattresses usually breathe better, and retain less transferred body heat. The springs and resulting bouncier nature of the mattress can also be a boon for overweight people who may find it easier to get out of bed with the added pushback. Fans of this feel may seek improved bounce and durability, and find it in a sub-type: coil on coil mattresses, which have an extra layer of microcoils on top of the innerspring mechanism.<\/p>\n
Innerspring mattresses can age faster than other types, because they are\u00a0more prone to sagging. It\u2019s also not recommended for use with adjustable bed bases, because the springs won\u2019t be able to handle constant angular bending. Overall, motion transfer can also be a problem. If this is an issue for you, consider a sub-type: pocketed spring mattresses, also called pocketed or wrapped coil. With these mattresses, each coil is unconnected from the whole and is individually wrapped; dramatically decreasing motion transfer and elevating support.<\/p>\n
These mattresses—also known as polyurethane mattresses—are in the lowest tier of all the types that fall under the umbrella category of foam mattresses. The material is something you are most likely familiar with, as it\u2019s what is used in most upholstered furniture. However, not all polyfoam mattresses are equal. There is a degree of variation here; differing levels of support, durability, and comfort depend on the material grades and the number of layers of polyfoam in each individual product.<\/p>\n
