Best Mattresses - Is Memory Foam, Air, Latex, Water Or Innerspring Better?


If you are looking for information on what's the best mattress, you've come to the right place because I have some important information to share with you.

My research team has recently conducted extensive mattress research by gathering data from over 3,100 mattress owners. This article discusses the different types of mattresses in order of how they scored in our research.

Latex

Latex mattresses as a group scored highest in our research. Over 90% of latex bed owners indicated that they thought their bed was comfortable. Latex mattresses also tend to have fewer disadvantages than other mattress types. For example, latex has good durability and tends to not sleep hot or off gas. A latex bed can also be custom made to suit your firmness preference.

Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses as a group scored below latex beds and virtually tied with airbeds. About 85% of memory foam owners are pleased with their beds' comfort. The temperature and weight sensitivity of the foam allow it to reduce pressure points and provide good support.

Air

Air beds, such as Sleep Number / Select Comfort, scored about equal to memory foam mattresses. Owners especially like the ability to adjust the firmness of their beds by adding or removing the amount of air inside. Reduced pressure points is another strong advantage of the mattresses.

Water

Waterbeds are not as popular as they used to be, but over 80% of owners find them to be comfortable. The beds have good durability and offer new technology that makes them similar to conventional beds in nearly every way.

Innerspring

Innerspring mattresses as a group rated last in our research. About 55% of these owners said that their beds are comfortable. The main problem regarding these beds is sagging. According to our findings, the beds have more of a tendency than other mattress types to leave body impressions, which often results in decreased comfort and supportiveness.
