Types of mattresses explained (with benefits)

When choosing your new mattress, there are a few factors to consider because when it comes to health, not all mattresses are created equal.

Do you want a mattress that limits motion disturbance and relieves pressure from your hips and shoulders? Or do you want a universal mattres that works well for all sleeping positions?

Here is a list of key mattress types that will help you understand what's the best choice for you:

Memory foam

Ideal if you want contouring support, pressure relief, and motion isolation that reduces sleeping disturbance to a minimum. This mattress type is especially beneficial for side sleepers and partners who share a bed. Thanks to its balanced visco elasticity, memory foam mattres is great for individuals with chronic pains. The only con is that basic memory foam can be warm, so it's best to pair it with cooling bedding.

Innerspring

Traditional design with metal coils for extra bouncy and firm surface. Innerspring mattresses are tried-and-true options that will bring that traditional feel and unmatched comfort, breathability, and durability. Recommended for people with chronic back pain.

Hybrid

Combines the best features of memory foam and innerspring for a balanced feel. Works well for any sleep position.

Latex

Made from a natural material, this mattress type is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust, mites, and mold. Suitable for individuals with a weakened immune system and allergy sufferers. Eco-friendly.

Specialty mattresses

Here we have options like an airbed, organic, and gel-grid. These mattresses are tailored for specific needs and offer varying support levels.

Important factors to consider when buying a mattress online or in-store

A few aspects that will help you pick out the best mattress for your body type are:

Sleep position:

The best choice for side sleepers is a medium firm foam mattress or a hybrid mattress as it adapts to the body and ensures pressure relief from your hips and shoulders. Back sleepers will benefit the most from medium firm innerspring or memory foam matters, while stomach sleepers will enjoy the coziness and unmatched comfort of a hybrid mattress. For even more comfort, use a body pillow.

Firmness level:

Choose a mattress that has the proper level of firmness based on your favorite sleeping position and personal preferences. There are five universal firmness levels (soft, medium soft, medium, medium firm, firm) and each level has its pros and cons.

Material preferences:

Depending on your sleeping habits and budget you can choose a mattress that will best suit your needs. The memory foam mattress is known for its plushness and body contouring but it doesn't regulate body temperature and can cause night sweats. Innerspring mattresses offer firm support and are also more affordable. The cons are that these mattresses are not compatible with bed bases and can feel too firm for some sleepers. Hybrid mattresses are a balanced combination of different materials that create various outcomes for different needs. However, due to the advanced technology, hybrids can be a little pricey.

Budget considerations:

Quite an important aspect that has a huge impact on the type of mattress you will buy. There are quality mattresses in the both cheaper and more expensive category - innerspring mattresses are on the more affordable side followed by memory foam and latex, while hybrid mattresses are always the most expensive.

Size options:

When choosing a mattress, the key factors you should consider are room size, your height, and if you share your bed. Standard sizes include twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king. The most popular mattress size option is queen. There are also customized, non-standard mattress sizes like RV King or Family XL.

Temperature regulation & heat dissipation:

Hot sleepers will appreciate better airflow and cooling characteristics of gel grid or innerspring mattresses. These sleeping options will ensure your body reaches the optimal temperature evenly, preventing overheating and sweating & getting better sleep.

Step-by-step guide to the perfect mattress

In this short guide, you will get all the necessary tips and tricks on measuring your bed frame and understanding warranty details, and trial periods.

Measuring your bed frame correctly is of utmost importance if you want to avoid inconveniences like the realization your bed won't fit through the door or lift. Thankfully, this is easily avoidable if you follow some basic steps:

Mattress warranty vs Sleep trials

When buying a desired mattress, there's always a reasonable fear that it might have a fault. That's why we have warranties for the peace of mind.

Warranties are detailed terms that guarantee customers won't have to pay huge amounts to repair/replace the defective mattress. It's a set timeframe when stores or brands have to repair, replace, or refund the item if it doesn't perform as stated.

There are written, spoken, and implied warranties.

Sleep trials explained

Sleep trials are an extended period, usually between 90 to 365 days, that companies offer to their customers to better determine if the chosen mattress is the right one for them.

In case the customer is not satisfied, the mattress can be returned with a full refund.

Mattress warranty coverage

The most common issues covered by a warrant are the ones caused by poor workmanship, like sagging and faulty materials.

Sagging

Quality mattresses should maintain a firm and solid surface for at least 7-10 years.

Sagging is caused by frequent use but premature or excessive sagging is a definite sign of poor construction.

The deepest sagging point covered by a warranty is around 1 inch but ultimately the indentation range covered by a warranty depends on the brand.

Faulty materials

Some examples of faulty materials are damaged mattress handles, bunching, undone/ripped seams, or broken/bent coils.

Financing options

Neill's Home Store has to offer two financing options to its customers: Synchrony and Acima.

These are budget-friendly, pay over time options that will allow you to get furniture/mattresses without a credit.
