After an exhausting day, there is nothing better than falling into a comfortable bed and having the sleep of your life!
We can ‘explain away’ backaches or sore muscles in the morning but it might be as simple as sleeping on the wrong mattress. If you can't remember when you purchased your bed, you can safely assume it's time for a new mattress!
So, here's the rundown on innerspring and foam mattresses to help make the right choice for you.
Spring mattress
Spring mattresses are thought of as a traditional style of mattress. They are suitable across all budgets with a broad range to choose from.
However, spring mattresses tend to have a shorter lifespan and warranty than foam mattresses. This is due to the coil system weakening over time. For overall quality and longevity, we recommend brands such as Sealy who use Titanium alloy for their springs. Titanium is a very strong but light metal that adds extra durability. This can also help reduce 'roll together'.
What part can you play? Regularly turning your spring mattress ensures ALL the coils are doing their job and helps prolong their lifespan.
Foam mattress
Foam mattresses are a popular choice with people who suffer regularly from aches and pains. This is because the foam moulds to the body giving it a cushiony effect during sleep. They support individual pressure points with even body weight distribution.
Unlike a spring mattress, the memory foam mattress will hold its shape without any worries about eventual sagging. For couples with significant weight differences, foam mattresses allow you to sleep together - alone. These mattresses are less likely to cause partner disturbance during the night, too. If you have a 'busy sleeper' lying next to you this can be music to your sleepy ears!
Foam mattresses tend to be more expensive though, so probably not necessary for a spare bedroom bed, but a true investment if it’s a bed you will sleep on for the next ten years. In the past, foam mattresses were plague with being 'too hot' for some people at night, but due to advances in fabric and foam technology, this is no longer the case.
