Sleep is quite important to us. If you find that you experience lower-back pain or backache, then it is time to change your mattress. If you are moving home, then it is a good time to choose the mattress that suits you best from the following materials.

The mattresses used to be made of the innerspring, pocketed coil, and natural fiber, however, nowadays, you have more choices, such as memory foam, latex, hybrid, and adjustable.

Let’s have a quick look at these four new materials.

1. Memory foam

Memory foam mattresses are a more recent addition to the market, and they keep gaining popularity. If you enjoy the feeling of sinking into your bed and being enveloped and cradled to sleep, then a memory foam mattress is just what you’re in the market for. These products are known for their ease in contouring to the body and slow restoration to original form when pressure is released. Think of the material that, when pressed on with your hand and released, leaves an impression for a few seconds.

Foam mattresses might not be for you if you tend to get too hot in the night, though. They're not great at allowing air through the material, meaning they retain your body heat and warm you up in the night.

2. Latex

Latex mattresses are similar to memory foam mattresses, although they tend to be a bit more on the expensive side. Like memory foam, they're great at providing you with comfort and support in the night.

They're also impressively dust-resistant, making them a good choice for people with allergies. One advantage it has over memory foam is that it does not absorb and retain heat as readily, making it a cooler night's sleep.

3. Hybrid

A hybrid mattress is a combination of two or more different mattress types. Most commonly, a hybrid mattress will have a spring or coil base with memory foam or latex foam top. This combines the best of both, allowing greater airflow through the mattress to keep you cool while still having the support and comfortable top of a foam mattress. Hybrid mattresses are more expensive, though, compared to the above options.

4. Adjustable

Mattresses with adjustable bases are designed to help with a variety of sleep disturbances, pain problems, and other medical conditions like heartburn and sleep apnoea. You can adjust the angle and position of the mattress as well as enjoying other features like massage and temperature control.

As you'd expect, these mattresses can be expensive, but they are extremely comfortable and can help you get a good night's sleep even when you're experiencing pain or other symptoms. Adjusting your mattress will create some noise and movement, as you would expect, which might disrupt your partner's sleep.

Now you have known all the ABCs, it is time for you to choose your best mattress based on your choice.
