The Advantage of Foam Mattresses

Most of the time, when you’re talking about mattresses, most people will say that they’re comfortable with what they have. That’s probably because, whether they’re actually comfrotable with it or not, they’ve become accustomed to it: the firmness or the softness of it. They’ve probably resigned themselves to the thought that they can’t be made more comfortable than they are, and that there’s nothing to be done for it.

And in some cases that is undoubtedly true. But there are a lot of cases where the sleepers haven’t heard about the benefits of a foam mattress.

Sleeping on a foam mattress is a totally different experience from sleeping on an innerspring mattress. Innerspring mattresses are essentially mattresses comprised of supporting parts and empty spaces in between. The springs are responsible for giving your body support, keeping your spine in the proper alignment and making you comfortable.

Of course, that’s in theory. In practice, it doesn’t always work that way. What’s more likely to happen is that you put more weight in one place than in another, thus throwing your body’s alignment out of whack.

That is not the case with a foam mattress. Foam mattresses in general tend to function more as a cohesive whole - meaning that there are no gaps in the coverage that is being offered to your body. When you sink into the foam, it contours itself to the shape of your body, thus preserving the natural state of your alignment.

This holds true not just for people who sleep on their backs, but also those who sleep on their sides. Needless to say, this presents a distinct advantage, and it’s part of the reason for the rise of foam mattress popularity.

  3. You are right to look at serta latex beds. If a bed from Sweden isn't in your budget, natural latex is my second choice for most people.It conforms very well to the shape of your spine to give good support and it relieves pressure points better than most innerspring mattresses. Its cooler to sleep on because its very breathable and its very durable (30 to 40 years).
