Everybody wants to find a comfortable mattress that allows them to get a good night’s sleep. Everybody is also different and has different needs when it comes to sleep. Some prefer a very firm mattress. Some prefer a very soft mattress. Yet others, prefer something in between. Following is a guide to some of the types of mattresses available for you to choose.

Spring Coiled Mattresses

These are the traditional mattresses that come with a boxspring upon which the mattress is placed. They come in all different levels of firmness and can range from less than $100.00 for a twin bed to more than $2500.00 for a deluxe king set. Some of the most well known makers of these types of mattresses include Sealy Posturepedic and Simmons. Mattresses come with a guarantee, usually ten to twenty years, based on the quality. The advantage of this kind of mattress is that it provides good support and, when properly maintained, can last a long time. On the down side, large king or queen-sized mattresses can be quite heavy and cumbersome to move or flip over (as recommended by the manufacturer).

Memory Foam Mattresses

These mattresses are made of foam that was first developed for the NASA space program. The foam conforms to your body and provides a custom sleeping experience that can not be matched by a traditional mattress. Some people find it a bit funny feeling at first, but, after they try it for a while, they wind up loving it. The mattresses tend to be on the expensive side, but, since the average person is going to spend one third of their life sleeping, the investment can be justified. The bed is lightweight and can be moved much more easily than the heavier traditional matress/boxspring setup. It is durable, resistant to water and disgusting bedbugs. Except for the high initial cost, this mattress has very few flaws.

Air Mattress

This type of mattress uses air to adjust the firmness. You can buy a cheap air mattress at Walmart for $50.00 and it will be okay for an emergency or when you have unexpected overnight guests. For permanent sleeping situations, a much sturdier air mattress that sits on a platform is available. For larger beds (king or queen), each side has separate controls to adjust the firmness if two people are sharing the bed.

what is the difference between Mattress covers and Mattress protectors?

When your mattress grows too old to use, the upcoming purchase can be daunting, and sometimes you may try to prolong its inevitable discarding. Using mattress toppers or a protector is good to use to prolong your mattress life, but not when it's nearing its end. If your old mattress is already showing signs of aging and reducing your sleep quality, a mattress topper won't work a miracle. However, a mattress topper is an excellent mattress accessory upgrade when installed on a new mattress or a while after purchase. You may have the best mattress, but if it has lost its capabilities over time, there's not much you can do except discard it.
