MATTRESS TYPES EXPLAINED:
WHAT TYPES OF MATTRESSES ARE THERE?
From a day’s end to a fresh morning start, our bed is a place where we can relax and recharge. Therefore, buying a good-quality mattress is crucial as it affects the quality of our sleep. The big question is, “What are the different types of mattresses, and which one do I choose?”. Knowing what types of mattresses there are may help you seek and choose the best bed mattress type. Here are some of them, explained:
SPRING MATTRESS
Spring mattress is one of the many types. This type of mattress is made up of a layer of coils surrounded by layers of comfort material such as latex, natural fibres, or foam. Spring mattresses offer solid back support, and there are budget-friendly options available. There are several types of innerspring mattresses:
- Bonnell Coils, which are shaped like an hourglass and are distributed evenly throughout the mattress and connected by wire extensions.
- Offset Coils also take the shape of an hourglass, but the tops and bottoms of the coils are flattened, making them softer and allowing them to conform to the shape of the body well.
- Continuous Coils use a long piece of wire wound into loose, S-shaped coils.
- Pocket Coils have each spring wrapped in fabric, creating a small pocket, allowing each spring to absorb pressure individually and minimize disruptions to other springs, such as the CUCKOO A-Series Mattress with 5 Zone Pocket Spring as the mattress base layer.
FOAM MATTRESS
Another type of mattress is the foam mattress. This bed mattress relies on different combinations of different-density foams to provide softness and support. Here are some foam mattress types explained:
- Memory foam is made of viscoelastic, which holds its shape or “remembers” the shape once pressure is applied and then released.
- Polyfoam, which is light, soft, and cushiony. High resilience polyfoam is a sturdy type that can be used on its own in mattresses.
- Gel-Infused Foam is a type of memory foam mattress that contains a cooling gel. Traditional memory foam can trap body heat, but this gel helps with temperature regulation..
- Latex mattresses are made of either natural or synthetic latex, a material derived from the sap of the rubber tree. They are breathable, helping you stay cool and comfortable without sacrificing necessary support. The CUCKOO A-Series mattress comes with an Aniline-Free topper layer made with 100% Natural Latex, which gently lifts your body to give your body ergonomic support during your sleep.
HYBRID MATTRESS
A third type of mattress is the hybrid mattress. Hybrid mattresses offer a hybrid composition that includes layers of both springs and foam. They are softer than springs, and without the “sinking” feeling of foam. One of the great examples is the CUCKOO A-Series Mattress, which has four layers that include 5 Zone Pocket Spring and Aniline-free latex to provide ergonomic support and zero motion transfer. With these features, the CUCKOO A-Series Mattress ensures good sleep during the night.
In conclusion, spring mattresses are the best choice for stomach and back sleepers, those with lower back pain, and heavier individuals. Foam mattresses, on the other hand, are suitable for side sleepers and those who experience joint pain and discomfort. Hybrid mattresses are an improved mattress design and often the best choice for all, especially couples.
