Once you've browsed through our list of mattress types, you'll know just about everything there is to know about picking the right mattress for you.
A classic style is an innerspring mattress. When you think of a mattress, this is typically what you imagine. A mattress with innersprings is made up of numerous interconnected coil springs. They are best known for providing support, and due to advancements over the years in innerspring technology, they are more comfortable today than they were before. Fun fact: the first innerspring mattress was invented in 1871 by an inventor named Heinrich Westphal.
Over the years, innerspring mattresses have made a name for themselves through various advancements. The most notable benefit of an innerspring mattress is its ability to breathe and stay cool because it is filled with coils. Also, depending on the type of coils, it can have an impact on durability, motion transfer, and support.
There is one key distinction between encased coil mattresses and standard innerspring mattresses. The coils are each encased in their own wrap of fabric. While traditional innerspring mattresses typically have coils that are connected to one another, an individually encased design enables each coil to operate independently. Encased coil mattresses are known for transferring less motion because they are not connected and function independently. By transferring less motion, you have a lower likelihood of waking up your partner in bed. If you sleep with a partner, then you'll enjoy the benefits of encased coil mattresses when your partner tosses and turns during the night. Not only that, but if you have different work schedules and your partner doesn't want to wake you up, this is an ideal mattress type for those circumstances.
Memory foam mattresses are known for their capability to mold and conform to your body by using your body heat, which gives you more support and customization for your body shape. Having customized support and comfort is one of the biggest benefits of owning a memory foam mattress.
Memory foam mattresses are the best for relieving pressure points. So, if you have knee pain or back pain you might opt for this type of mattress. People have pointed out that they can get hot since the mattress tends to absorb body heat. If you are a hot sleeper, this might not be an ideal choice for you.
However, today you'll find memory foam mattresses with something called open-cell memory. Open-cell memory uses the same components as traditional memory foam but has a different internal structure. So, even if you are a hot sleeper, you can still look into getting a memory foam mattress thanks to this advancement.
Gel memory foam mattresses are created by either adding a layer of gel on top of the comfort layer or by adding gel beads to memory foam. You'll find that some gel memory foam mattresses are designed to help absorb your body heat while adding add another layer of comfort and cooling. As a result, gel memory foam is commonly found on cooling mattresses.
Now that you know a little more about gel memory foam mattresses, we can go into more detail about hybrid and cooling mattresses. A hybrid mattress combines the benefits of memory foam and innerspring mattresses. With this combination, you get the support of innerspring technology and the benefits of memory foam.
Some people prefer hybrid mattresses with gel memory foam over those with only gel memory foam because they allow for better heat distribution. If you want a mattress that will keep you cool, gel memory foam is a great option because it allows for more airflow than innersprings.
The struggle to stay cool at night is a real issue for many people. If this sounds like you, then you should strongly consider cooling mattresses. These mattresses are uniquely designed to keep you cool all night. You’ll find some cooling mattresses use patented innerspring designs that have the ability to vastly maximize airflow so your mattress can breathe and ultimately stay cool naturally.
Other cooling mattresses use temperature-regulated gel memory foam that absorbs your body heat and reduces your core temperature, encouraging deep sleep cycles that leave you more rested and feeling better in the morning.
There are also hybrid mattresses, which combine the best cooling innerspring technology with heat-absorption gel memory foam to consistently provide you with a cooler night's sleep.
When you compare pillow-top and euro-top mattresses, it might not be easy to spot the difference at first. The reason for that is that they serve the same purpose, which is to add a top layer of soft material. This added layer gives the mattress additional comfort and cushioning. While they have the same purpose, they have their own elements of design that set them apart from one another.
Having the name pillow-top is no coincidence. The pillow-top mattress has an extra soft layer made of foam or fiber. What sets the pillow-top apart from a Euro-top is based on where the top layer is sewn to the mattress. Pillow-tops are sewn directly on top of the mattress, with a gap between them and another layer underneath. The Most noticeable feature is the layering pattern and the added plush comfort from top to bottom.
Similarly to the pillow-top, you can see the difference with a Euro-top mattress based on how the top is sewn into the mattress. A Euro-top is nearly seamless because the edges are sewn to the edges of the mattress, giving it that neat and stacked look. This method of sewing results in firmer edges and a middle layer of cushioning that is undoubtedly more comfortable.
If you consider yourself a side sleeper, then the best mattress for side sleepers is one that is not too firm and will conform to your body's natural curves. In general, softer mattresses conform better, but some firm mattresses with pillow tops can also be comfortable.
If you consider yourself a stomach sleeper, then you should look into firm mattresses as the best mattress for stomach sleepers. Firm mattresses will provide the proper support for a stomach sleeper's hips and chest. It prevents your chest from resting lower than your hips, causing back pain and poor spinal alignment. Soft mattresses will cause you to arch your back while you sleep and mattresses that are too firm may not be comfortable.
If you consider yourself a back sleeper, then you should look into a mattress that provides the support you need, like a hybrid mattress, which is considered the best mattress for back sleepers. Sleeping on your back can put a lot of pressure on your back and hips. If your mattress is too firm, your hips may not be getting enough support. Back sleepers need quality support to ensure their spine remains properly aligned throughout the night. With a mattress that is too soft, your hips can sink too low and put unwanted pressure on your lower back. If you choose a mattress that is too firm, your shoulders can be burdened by too much weight.
The affordability of your mattress completely depends on your budget. The best guide to buying a mattress is to evaluate your budget, the features you need, and the comfort level you are looking for. However, if you are searching for a cheap and affordable mattress with a lower price point, our team at Bedzzz Express can give you various options to choose from.
