Mattress Types
All mattresses can be categorised into these 5 categories—foam, innerspring, hybrid, latex or airbed. Innersprings are the most commonly used mattresses in homes. Although, in the past few years other mattress types have come up and we will talk more about them later in this article.
Here’s a little about the basics of each of these types of mattresses:
- Foam - Crafted entirely with foam and no coils, these mattresses provide an above-average contouring to the body. It gives adequate pressure relief and motion isolation. Thus, it is a good option for side sleepers and couples. Memory foam is one popular material used for these types of mattresses.
- Innerspring - These are coil-based mattresses with a few other layers. While the coils ensure some support, Innersprings lack pressure relief. Their upper surface is bouncier and it has limited motion isolation. Since they have a lower price, they are sought after by budget shoppers.
- Hybrid - Hybrid mattresses comprise two central elements; an innerspring support core and an outer foam comfort system. The comfort layers are made of foam or latex and sometimes even shorter layers of coils (called micro-coils). These mattresses are a blend of bounce and contouring with low heat retention. This makes them a good fit for sleepers in any position.
- Latex - A mattress in which all the layers are made of latex rubber is known as a latex or true latex mattress. Their highlights are a high level of bounce with moderate contouring. As they are completely natural and organic, they are a popular choice for sustainable shoppers.
- Airbeds - Airbeds are built with an air chamber as their support core. A pump (controlled by a smartphone or remote) is built into the mattress to add or remove air at the push of a button. It guarantees firmness and flexibility to sleepers. Couples love airbeds because each side can be set to a different firmness level.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mattress Size
Selecting the right mattress size involves more than just picking the largest option that fits your budget. Take a look at the following factors to ensure your choice of mattress enhances your sleep quality and bedroom aesthetics.
- Room Dimensions: Measure your bedroom to determine how much space you can allocate to the bed without compromising movement or other furniture. A large mattress in a small room may dominate the space making it cramped and full.
- Sleeping Partners: If you share your bed with others, you should consider how many people will sleep on the bed and note their sleeping habits. Couples may prefer a Queen or King size mattress for adequate comfort and space. A Double might suffice for those who don’t mind sleeping close.
- Future Needs: If you plan to move to a larger space or have a child or pet, you could consider buying a slightly larger mattress now as it will save you an upgrade later.
- Budget: Large mattresses are typically more expensive. Make your choice keeping your budget in mind. Remember that a quality mattress is an investment in your health.
- Bed Frame Compatibility: Make sure the size of your bed frame and your mattress align. Some frames are small in size and may not support larger mattresses.
