TYPES OF MATTRESSES

There are many different types of mattresses designed to meet the needs of many different types of sleepers. The right mattress for you depends on a number of factors including sleep position, support needs, comfort preferences, joint discomfort, medical history, temperature and more.

We’ve broken down the three main categories of mattresses to provide guidance while narrowing down what type of mattress is best for you during the research phase of purchasing a new bed.

A hybrid mattress provides a blend of the innerspring and memory foam technology. This type of mattress is constructed with coils underneath memory foam. It strikes a balance between support and comfort, creating a cutting-edge sleeping surface. The coils act as foundational support while the memory foam meets every curvature of the sleeper’s body.

Hybrid Mattress

PROS

Provides the best of both worlds – memory foam and innerspring.
Hybrid options are available in a variety of materials, including cooling gel technology.

CONS

Due to the popularity of the term hybrid, be on the lookout for hybrid mattresses with only small amounts of memory foam. Mattress Warehouse cautions consumers not to be fooled into purchasing inferior products that claim that they are hybrid yet do not have a significant amount of memory foam to balance properly with the innerspring technology.
