Get the most out of your foam mattress!
Shopping for a new mattress is a very fun process, but it can be pretty difficult to sort through the many modern mattress options on the market today. Here are some quick tips to help you choose the right foam mattress for your bedroom and sleeping habits.
Foam Padding Mattresses
The main type of padding used in mattresses today is polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is available in a wide variety of densities to suit many different comfort levels. The density is a good indicator of how durable your foam mattress will be. Every layer of your foam mattress should be the highest density possible, including the base or core layer. This will ensure that your mattress lasts a long time and provides you with adequate lumbar support. For a rule of thumb, look for a mattress with a foam base layer of 2 lbs. per cubic foot and a compression rating that is 30 or higher.
Latex Foam Mattresses
Latex foam or foam rubber has, unsurprisingly, a rubbery consistency. It is a bouncier foam that will quickly rebound once you press it down. You can purchase latex foam mattresses made from either natural latex or synthetic latex, but most mattresses are produced from a combination of both. Latex foam is different from memory foam, but it can still relieve mild pressure and rebound quickly.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam mattresses have rapidly grown in popularity thanks to their excellent strain-relieving properties. Memory foam reacts to your body’s heat and weight to mold against your body and cradle you while you sleep. Memory foam mattresses are available in many different densities and thicknesses depending on your price point and preferences. Memory foam mattresses are slow to react, unlike latex foam, so they will not immediately conform to your shape or bounce back once you get up.
