How To Pick Your Perfect Latex Mattress

All of the terms used when describing the types of mattresses like Memory foam, pocket sprung, latex mattresses, open coil, continuous coil may be quite confusing when first time venturing into the world of good night’s sleep. This can leave you confused and probably you will end up with the wrong type of mattress for your needs. To eliminate all the fuss about mattresses and the terminology used to describe them here we will review the main types of mattresses and describe the pros and cons of all.

There are four main mattress types to choose from, all of which derive from two main categories spring and foam mattress each divided into two subcategories; open coil and pocket sprung for spring mattress and memory foam and latex for foam mattress. Most mattress manufacturers make more than one type - different varieties go through a different manufacturing process and cost different amounts. Price isn't everything, though, as what is most important is what you as an individual find comfortable.

And now comes the question what to choose? We will help you decide based on some facts about each category of mattress.

Spring open coil mattress is the one you are looking for if you need an affordable, no frills and basic type of mattress. However, because the springs tend to move as one, you might be disturbed by your partner’s movements in the night. Continuous coil mattresses are an upgrade to this basic type. You may still feel your partner turning, but the structure of the spring unit in these mattresses should make them less likely to dip in the middle.

Spring pocket sprung mattress is characterized by the same characteristics as open coil mattress, except the springs in this type are packed into individual pockets, which helps the responsiveness of the mattress to your movement. Unlike other mattress types, pocket sprung mattresses won’t make you warmer in the night, and they shouldn’t dip in the middle either. Plus, there is an added advantage of the possibility to add a thin layer of memory foam or latex on top to make the mattress even more comfortable.

Memory foam mattresses mould to your body. When it comes to comfort, some people swear by memory foam, and this kind of mattress needn’t cost the earth. But these mattresses aren’t for everyone. Sinking into the foam insulates the body and can make it harder to turn over, so it might not be the best choice if you’re living in a hot climate region or tend to roll over a lot.Like memory foam mattresses, Latex Mattresseswill also mould to your body, but they feel different to memory foam because the material has more natural elasticity, meaning it will quickly regain its original shape. This type of Latex mattress toppers can be pricey, but manufacturers claim that that they are extremely durable. Plus, latex mattresses are both hypoallergenic and anti-microbial, so they’re a good option if you suffer from allergies.
