Innerspring Mattresses

Innerspring mattresses are still 80% of the market. These are the mattresses most of us have slept on since childhood. They are simple in idea. Coil springs, wrapped with cloth or various type of upholstery and padding to give the mattress its feel.

Memory Foam mattresses

Memory Foam mattresses are the charging into the public awareness since the mid 90's. These mattresses are the best adjustable beds mattresses, although they are also used in more traditional setting. You can pick out a memory foam mattresses with its delayed, form-fitting response. Lying on these beds creates a sensation of "melting" into the bed as it adjusts to the shape of your body. You'll notice when you get up, the bed still has your shape.

With all the focus on memory foam mattresses, owners of innerspring beds might be wondering about switching to memory foam. While its a personal choice, this article will focus on comparing these two types of mattresses.

Here's our comparison of memory foam and innerspring mattresses.

The unique sensation described by memory foam users is described as "melting" into the bed or "floating" on top of it. If your partner is a restless sleeper, the memory foam mattress will minimize movements from the other side of the bed. Memory foam mattresses do feel warmer than innerspring. The best foam mattress contacts more of your body and you might perspire more and be warmer. If you are an active sleeper, the ability to change positions is much more difficult after the bed has surrounded you. Your 'other bedroom' activities may be effected as well, since these mattresses are not springy.

Side sleepers will find the foam mattress a great improvement in comfort and support over firm innerspring mattresses. The best foam mattress can help maintain a proper spinal alignment and reduce pressure points for side sleepers. If you are a stomach or back sleeper, you'll probably like the support provided by a firm innerspring mattress.

The best foam mattresses contain very durable materials, especially when you compare it with padding and ticking used in cheaper innerspring mattresses. At times, you'll find memory foam in the upholstery of an innersrping mattress and its considered one of the more lasting components of the mattress. Mold and dust mites are less likely to attack the best foam mattresses as compared to their innerspring counterparts. The durability of memory foam mattresses seems to be comparable to an innerspring mattress of the same cost. Since memory foam mattresses have a short history, its tough to prove any durability claims just yet.

The preference and the pricing

Pricing on the best foam mattresses range from $350 for a good quality Sealy Split queen size mattress to $5299 for a Split E King size 15 inch memory foam mattress. Don't purchase the much less expensive foam mattress "toppers" and expect to get great performance. You'll need to check each mattress type and make a decision what works best for your sleeping style. Pay careful attention to how you sleep to make the best choice.

Rather than me delivering all the information, here are quotes on the best foam mattresses from people who own them. (I've carefully edited the commercial portion of the content)

Jenni G. of Arizona

I have not woken up with back pain for two days which is nothing short of a miracle in my eyes!

Randy O. of Washington

I’ve slept in this bed now for two days in a row and the last two days are the first time in the last 20 years of my life that I’ve slept through the night.

Bill L of Texas;

My king size bed arrived on April 9. I am one of those people who needed a few days to get used to it. I had difficulty sleeping the first few days because I was in a “strange bed.” Once I got used to it- wow what a difference! I wake up refreshed and ready to start the day. My husband loves the bed too. We love the “no motion” feature when one of us gets in or out. I’ve never slept better and will never go back to a traditional spring mattress.

A doctor using a memory foam bed:

I personally recommend to all my patients who suffer from chronic neck and back pain. Using a good quality mattress is a critical step in managing common back conditions such as arthritis, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. Our treatment and outcomes have been much better when we have patients switch mattresses. Since we rely on making structural changes to the body through specific manual therapy techniques along with physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, it is essential to carry these changes over into the sleep cycle which accounts for nearly 30% of the time in our life cycle.
