It’s no secret that we spend a third of our lives sleeping — which makes the type of mattress you choose all the more important. Aside from ensuring you sleep comfortably, the right mattress could help you avoid health problems down the road, such as incorrect posture or sleeping issues.
However, not everyone knows how to choose the best mattress for them. In this article, we’ll explore the different types of mattresses and their benefits so you can make an informed decision before buying your next mattress!
TYPES OF MATTRESSES IN AUSTRALIA
MEMORY FOAM
Originally developed for astronauts, memory foam is made from material that responds to heat and pressure, moulding to the shape of your body as you sleep. This makes it great for people who suffer from back or neck pain, as it provides support where you need it most. Memory foam mattresses are also quite durable, and known mostly for their body-hugging comfort. Overall, memory foam mattresses are a wise investment for anyone looking for a comfortable and long-lasting bed.
LATEX
Latex mattresses are naturally antibacterial and antifungal — a good choice for people with allergies. They also contour well to the body and provide good ventilation, making them popular among hot-natured sleepers. Plus, latex is a sustainable material that's biodegradable and recyclable. Unlike memory foam, latex does have a responsive feel, so it doesn't 'hug' the body quite as much, but is definitely still a comfortable option. Above all, latex foam is the king of longevitiy, and will outlast most other beds.
INNERSPRING
Innerspring mattresses are made of coils that are connected and covered with padding and a fabric cover. The coil sizes can vary from very thin to very thick. The thicker the coil, the more support it will provide.
Innerspring mattresses can also have different levels of firmness. Some people prefer a softer mattress, while others prefer a firmer mattress. Innerspring mattresses can be a good option for people who want a bouncy, supportive mattress that is also relatively inexpensive. However, they may not be as comfortable or durable as other options.
GEL-INFUSED MEMORY FOAM
You know that feeling when you finally sit down after a long day and your whole body just sinks into the couch? That's the feeling gel-infused memory foam aims to replicate. This memory foam is made with a gel material that helps distribute body heat, making it more comfortable to sleep on. Additionally, the gel helps to provide support for the body, making it an ideal option for people with back pain. Gel-infused memory foam mattresses are also becoming increasingly popular because they conform to the body's shape, providing a more customised sleeping experience.
POCKET SPRUNG
Pocket sprung mattresses contain small coils inside each spring that move when you lie on them. This allows them to contour better to your body shape while providing good air circulation and minimise partner disturbance. They're ideal if you tend to get hot at night or have a partner that tosses and turns a lot. Pocket sprung mattresses are also very durable, so you can expect them to last for many years.
POLYFOAM
Polyfoam mattresses are similar to memory foam but do not have the classic memory foam body-hugging feel and are generally very firm. Polyfoam is a commonly used type of mattress mainly becuase it is so inexpensive to produce, and you will often see it used in furniture and mattress pads. Polyfoam mattresses are suggested as an occasional use bed solution, for spare beds or as a guest bed topper.
HYBRID
As the name suggests, a Hybrid mattress is a combination of one or more others. Most noteably of of springs and foam, to give you the best of both worlds without comprmising on either. Hybrid mattresses are generally great value for someone who wants the most bang for their buck when purchasing a mattress. n easily adjust
