After a long day, it’s nice to climb into bed and drift off to sleep, and picking the right mattress will help you achieve a great night’s rest. With many different types of mattresses, it can be tiring to find which one works best for you. If you’re in the market for a new mattress, here is a quick guide on the main types of mattresses. 

What Are the Main Types of Mattresses?

Spring

This type of mattress comes in two styles: innerspring and pocket spring (also known as individually wrapped coils). They contain coils within the mattress for support and durability and are a classic, affordable option. However, many people note that traditional innerspring mattresses have uncomfortable pressure points. Pocket spring mattresses are often immune to this because each coil is individually wrapped with foam to reduce these pressure points. If it uses poor quality foam, it will have the same pressure point issues of a traditional innerspring. 

Memory Foam

These mattresses use high-quality foam to cradle each curve and pressure point of the body. They are easy to clean, hypoallergenic, and long-lasting. Since it cradles the body so well, this may be an excellent option for people with back issues. It also reduces the “bounce” effect most beds have, which is a great option for those who don’t want to be woken up by a moving partner. However, since it cradles the body and there is no bounce, some people find it uncomfortable, as it is hard to move around.

Hybrid

A hybrid mattress offers the best of both worlds. Under a layer of memory foam, there is a layer of springs. It is a combination of a traditional spring mattress and a memory foam mattress, offering you the benefit of bounce, while still cradling pressure points for optimal sleeping conditions. Most people who struggle to fall asleep with traditional spring and memory foam mattresses find that a hybrid mattress is a perfect solution; however, they can be quite expensive. For those who seek sleep, though, it will be worth the investment.
