Sleeping on a good mattress and adapted to our characteristics greatly increases the quality of life, but the offer is very varied and sometimes it is difficult to decide.
Mattresses can be of many types, made of different materials (foam, springs, latex…) and with different degrees of firmness.
A mattress is defined by the characteristics that make up its core, by the material from which it is formed.
Let’s see how many types of mattresses you can find on the market, so you can decide which one is the most suitable for you.
Spring mattresses
The springs distribute your body weight evenly, preventing tension from occurring in any area of your body.
They also guarantee great interior ventilation, so you don’t get hot while you sleep. The useful life of this type of mattress is long-lasting.
Pocket spring mattresses
It is a spring structure in which each spring is independently encapsulated in a layer of fabric. This allows each spring to act independently, allowing greater freedom of movement, making it a good choice for double mattresses where there are weight differences between the two people. They often have a very generous coating of different materials that makes them halfway between spring mattresses and foam or latex mattresses.
Foam
mattressesThe core is made up of an open-cell foam block. It is a very adaptable type of mattress and offers different types of comfort (firm, medium and soft). Different layers of comfort and a variety of quilted fabrics can also be applied to the core. An HR foam mattress doesn’t necessarily have to be soft.
Memory foam mattresses
Memory foam mattresses are made of a special foam that molds to the body under the effects of heat and pressure, offering optimal body weight distribution. These memory foam mattresses are of particular interest to those who have to spend a lot of time in bed.
Latex cores are obtained from the resin of a variety of tropical tree, it is a natural and hypoallergenic material, although there are also synthetic compositions. As it is also an elastic material, it is recommended for articulated bed bases. The latex mattress is usually heavier, making it difficult to flip. They provide a high adaptation to the contour of the body offering firmer support than viscoelastic mattresses.
The best type of mattress depends on the conditions and needs of the person who is going to use it. Elements such as weight are essential to choose the best mattress for you.
