The right mattress for a great night’s sleep is the one that meets your personal needs for comfort and support. But before you start shopping for a new mattress, you will need to know some bedding basics. With some general mattress information on the variety of choices available, it will be easier to choose the right bed for you—and get a great night’s sleep.
Innerspring
The most widely purchased type of bedding uses the support of tempered steel coils in a variety of configurations. Varying types and layers of upholstery provide insulation and cushioning between your body and the spring unit, resulting in a range of comfort choices.
GeL Infused Memory Foam
Gel infused memory foam was designed to improve the original formulation developed by NASA to provide pressure relief and more targeted support while sleeping cooler than first generation version. Heat build up during the night can cause uncomfortable and restless sleep. Gel infused memory foam combines an open cell structure to increase airflow and will whisk heat away from the body. Gel memory foam is up to 12 times more breathable than first generation memory foam and can create a cooler and more comfortable sleep experience.
Latex Foam
Solid latex foam mattresses also offer many benefits for use in sleep products. Consumers that have an organic lifestyle and have made numerous changes to remove most synthetic chemicals from their household tend to purchase 100% natural formulations. The elasticity, healthiness, and ability of natural latex to conform to your body, reducing pressure on your muscles and circulation is unsurpassed. Because of its instant recovery, latex foam offers a buoyant feel allowing for ease of movement.
Other Sleep Options
There are many popular mattress alternatives to address individuals’ comfort, support and space needs, such as adjustable beds. Electrically adjustable beds enable sleepers to adjust the head and foot of the bed to the most comfortable position. Adjustable beds also provide several health benefits which include relief from poor circulation, sleep apnea, arthritis, snoring, fibromyalgia, back/neck pain and reflux disease.
