Understanding the Different Mattress Types: Innerspring, Memory Foam, Latex, Hybrid
When shopping for a new mattress, the options can seem endless. Do you want springs, foam, latex or a hybrid? Choosing the right mattress type for you depends on your preferences for firmness, support, and desired sleeping position.
Innerspring Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses contain metal coils that provide support and allow for airflow. They typically have a firm, supportive feel and are very responsive. Saatva’s innerspring models include the Saatva Classic, Loom & Leaf, and Zenhaven.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam mattresses mold to your body for pressure relief and contouring support. They have a distinctive feel that many people love for reducing motion transfer. Saatva’s memory foam mattress is the Loom & Leaf, made of premium memory foam for a balanced feel.
Latex Mattresses
Latex mattresses are responsive, durable, and breathable. They provide moderate contouring with plenty of bounce. Saatva’s Zenhaven is an all-natural latex mattress with a luxurious, resilient feel. It offers two firmness options in one mattress.
Hybrid Mattresses
Hybrid mattresses combine innerspring coils with memory foam or latex for the benefit of both. Saatva’s hybrid models are the Saatva Classic, with memory foam over coils, and the Zenhaven, with latex over coils. Hybrids aim to provide the perfect blend of support, comfort, and durability.
With Saatva’s high-quality, affordable mattress options, you’re sure to find your perfect mattress match. Now the only question is, which type will you choose?
Choosing the Right Firmness Level Based on Your Sleep Style
When it comes to choosing a mattress, firmness level is one of the most important factors to consider. The right firmness for you depends on your preferred sleeping position and body type.
Side Sleepers
If you frequently sleep on your side, a medium soft or medium mattress is probably your best bet. Softer mattresses cushion your pressure points like hips and shoulders, allowing your spine to rest in a neutral alignment. The Saatva Classic comes in soft, medium, and firm options so you can choose the perfect firmness for side sleeping.
Back Sleepers
For back sleepers, a medium or medium firm mattress is ideal. These provide support for your lower back while still contouring your body. The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is available in medium and medium firm, with responsive latex and pocketed coils that relieve pressure while keeping your spine aligned.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers typically prefer a medium firm or firm mattress. A firmer surface prevents your midsection from sinking in too deeply, which can strain your neck. The Zenhaven by Saatva offers a flippable design with Luxury Plush and Gentle Firm sides, so stomach sleepers can choose the firmness they need for proper support.
Larger Body Types
If you have a larger body type, a medium firm or firm mattress is recommended for the best support. Softer mattresses may not provide adequate support for your frame. The Saatva HD is specifically designed for people weighing 300-500 lbs, with high-density foams and extra-durable coils that stand up to heavier weights. For the best night’s sleep at any size, Saatva has a mattress that’s just right for you.
Comparing Mattress Materials: Pros and Cons of Coils, Foam, Latex, and More
Comparing the materials used in a mattress is key to finding your perfect match. Each has pros and cons to weigh based on your preferences.
Coils
Coil mattresses, also called innerspring, are a popular traditional choice. Pocketed coils individually wrapped in fabric allow for contouring support. However, coil mattresses may lack durability, with the coils eventually compressing over time. They also typically have more motion transfer, so you may feel your partner moving during the night.
Memory Foam
Memory foam contours to your body for customized support and pressure relief. It also absorbs movement well for undisturbed sleep. However, memory foam can trap heat, and some find it too “hugging”. Newer, open-cell foams and gel infusions aim to remedy this. Memory foam mattresses tend to be more expensive, though often very durable.
Latex
Latex is a naturally derived material that is very responsive and durable. It contours to your body for comfort while still having some bounce. Latex sleeps cooler than memory foam and is very durable, often lasting 10-15 years. However, latex mattresses are typically the most expensive type. Synthetic latex blends are more affordable but may lack the durability and responsiveness of natural latex.
Hybrid
A hybrid mattress combines materials like latex, memory foam, and pocketed coils to get the benefits of multiple components in one mattress. The foam provides contouring comfort and support, while the coils add lift, airflow, and durability. Hybrids aim to remedy the potential downsides of foam or coil alone. However, hybrid mattresses are often the most expensive type.
In the end, the best way to determine what will suit you well is to compare options by lying on different mattresses in person. Find what feels most comfortable for your body and sleep position so you can rest easy knowing you’ve chosen a mattress to perfectly support you for years to come.
Conclusion
So there you have it – whether you’re looking for the classic innerspring feel of the Saatva Classic, the all-foam hug of the Loom & Leaf, or the eco-friendly latex of the Zenhaven, Saatva has your perfect mattress waiting. With high-quality materials, craftsmanship, and a risk-free trial, you really can’t go wrong. Now the only thing left to do is start dreaming about how amazing your sleep is going to be on your brand-new Saatva mattress. Sweet dreams!
