You will be amazed of the multitude of mattresses now available in the market. In various shapes and sizes, in numerous technologies and high-end materials, you are bound to get confused on what to choose. You need to know what mattress technology you want first. Latex, memory foam, innerspring, coilspring, waterbed and air mattresses are just some of the choices you have.
Latex Mattress
One of the most popular choices nowadays is latex mattress. This is slowly taking over the popularity of other mattresses because of its innate comfort and its natural characteristics. This mattress type normally has 4 pounds of density.

If you purchase this mattress, make sure it has 4 pounds of density. Some people say it is better if it is made from talalay while others say it is better if it is Dunlop-made. It is okay to find both technologies in just one mattress. Choose one where Dunlop processing is used for the base foam and Talalay method is used for the top foam as it is usually softer. If you are allergic to latex, you should find one where the protein that causes allergic reaction is extracted and removed from the latex material.
Memory Foam
It is easy to fall into the crazy hype that is memory foam. It promises utter comfort to those people who have the good fortune of using this mattress. It is known as a type of mattress that can get rid of pressure sores especially to our back.
Despite the many good reviews about this technology, not all manufacturing companies create it perfectly. Due to the nature of memory foam itself, not all have the same surface feel. If you want just the right amount of comfort, choose one integrated with 4 pounds of density.
Innerspring/Coilspring
Today, more and more mattress companies that manufacture innerspring and coilspring beds compete with each other when it comes to coil or spring count. This is why we suddenly got the idea that the more coil incorporated in the mattress, the better.
But it totally depends on your preferences. If you find more comfort in a very soft bed, you can go for those with more coils or more springs. If you want a slightly firmer surface, go ahead and purchase those with fewer coils and springs. There are more points to ponder on when it comes to buying mattresses but it will take a long time to go through all of them. My best advice is to go for the mattress that can suit well to your preferences and not only rely on the ones that are recommended by other customers.
