When it\u2019s time to purchase a mattress, remember to do your research. There are many types of mattresses to choose from.<\/p>\n

We often undervalue the importance of different mattresses needed for our bed. Since our day is long and our responsibilities many, we just assume our bed will provide a long-needed rest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we don\u2019t always find rest and relaxation, and it\u2019s due to an old worn-out mattress<\/strong>. It’s obvious that we have a problem, and there are a few options that might help.<\/p>\n

Types of mattresses<\/h2>\n

There are many different kinds of mattresses that can be purchased in order to upgrade your sleeping arrangements<\/a>. Each version offers benefits depending on your individual sleep patterns and health issues<\/strong>. Let\u2019s take a look at a few types of mattresses in order to understand their benefits.<\/p>\n

1. Innerspring mattresses<\/h4>\n

This type of mattress is the most common variety<\/strong>. It\u2019s built with a system of coils to support the body. Rather it\u2019s called a spring system. There are several spring systems that make up the innerspring mattress selections. There are single spring units and units comprised of individually pocketed coils.<\/p>\n

There are many variations on the number of coils, gauge, design, and shape, which are all covered by foam padding. Some even have additional layers<\/strong> of steel springs between the padding.<\/p>\n

2. Pillow top mattresses<\/h4>\n

These mattresses can be made from a variety of materials, but the top layer is what\u2019s deemed important<\/strong>. On top of the common spring system, an additional layer of material is sewn in to provide extra comfort. This layer of material is actually like pillows sewn into the top.<\/p>\n

3. Foam mattresses<\/h4>\n

These specialty mattresses are made by placing foam or similar materials in the support systems<\/strong> of the bed. This foam can be made into many different shapes and sizes and from a variety of materials as well. Some materials commonly seen in specialty mattresses are a gel-like material, memory foam, and polyurethane.<\/p>\n

4. Latex mattress<\/h4>\n

The support system of this mattress is made with latex foam<\/strong>. Also, latex can be used in the upholstery of the bedding as well. Latex is made from petroleum or plant-based materials.<\/p>\n

5. Memory foam mattress<\/h4>\n

As with latex, memory foam may be present in either the support system, the upholstery or both parts of the mattress. These types of mattresses work great by molding to the contours of the body<\/strong> and also providing support at the same time. Memory foam is made from high-density polyurethane materials.<\/p>\n

6. Gel mattresses<\/h4>\n

Using advanced technology, this gel is added to the foam of the mattress\u00a0and can be present in the support system or the upholstery. Like the memory foam and latex versions, the gel can also be included in all areas of the mattress for even more support. Gel foam also offers heat dispensation<\/strong> qualities as well.<\/p>\n

7. Airbeds<\/h4>\n

Although the airbed isn\u2019t exactly a mattress, it can be used in the same way<\/strong>. With the airbed, a chamber of air serves as the support system of the bed. Of course, this air chamber can be adjusted to accommodate the need for varying support.<\/p>\n

Airbeds can be used for residential or camping needs<\/strong>, although there are different beds for each option. The bed used for camping doesn\u2019t require the extra padding and upholstery needed by the residential version.<\/p>\n

The residential bed also allows separate adjustments in support on each side of the bed. This can be a great option for those who require varying levels of firmness.<\/p>\n

8. Waterbeds<\/h4>\n

As airbeds have chambers for air, so waterbeds have the same chambers filled with water<\/strong>. Believe it or not, waterbeds can be hard-sided and soft-sided. The hard-sided version requires the water chamber to be encased in a rectangular compartment made of wood, while the soft-sided version has water that is only encased in upholstery materials and padding.<\/p>\n

The water in the waterbed can be either free-flowing or waveless. Free-flowing allows movement in the waterbed mattress while waveless provides a baffling system to hold the water chamber in place.<\/p>\n
