Your sleep is essential to your overall well-being, which is why choosing a comfortable mattress is crucial. There are a few factors that can have an impact on which mattress you choose, like the way you sleep, your body weight, and your personal preference – and with so many on the market, it can be hard to decide! You can use this Winkbed Mattress Review to help you with your decision or read on to find out more about the 5 most comfortable mattress materials that could be perfect for you.

Memory Foam
Memory foam mattresses are some of the most popular, and comfortable on the market. These mattresses are all-foam, which means you will sink down into the mattress, and feel cradled, whilst also being supported. Some people are put off when it comes to foam mattresses because, in the past, they used to trap heat, which is not a good attribute for those of us that sleep hot! But thankfully as products become more advanced, manufacturers are more aware that they need to create a breathable mattress – some even have a gel layer so you can benefit from the comfort of memory foam and have a cool night’s sleep each night. Memory foam mattresses are great for those that sleep on their side, as they provide pressure relief to the hips and shoulders, which take the most weight during the night. Memory foam mattresses are soft, and comforting, and provide motion isolation, so you won’t wake up if your partner moves in the night!

Innerspring
The innerspring mattress is one of the most traditional on the market, and many of us will be familiar with their make-up. These mattresses have mainly springs to the centre, with a comfort layer on top – these springs are great for extra support and can be a comfortable choice for those that are heavier or sleep on their front. If you’re lightweight, you will probably find innerspring mattresses too hard – they tend to suit those that are heavier. This is because they can provide support to keep the spine in alignment all night, meaning you won’t wake up in pain. Stomach sleepers will also find these innerspring mattresses comfortable, as they also need to keep their lumbar region supported to wake up feeling fresh. If you find your innerspring mattress a little too hard, you can always add a mattress topper for extra comfort.

Hybrid
These mattresses give you the best of both worlds. They are some of the most modern and can come with a range of attributes to suit you, to help you feel most comfortable. These mattresses combine springs, foam, and gel. The innerspring layer helps to keep you supported, the foam layer allows a comfortable sleep, whilst the gel layer keeps you cool for undisturbed sleep. Depending on the manufacturer, you can choose from a range of attributes to make your mattress perfect for you. They are also some of the most expensive, but most will say they’re worth the investment!
-
Latex
Much like a memory foam mattress, latex mattresses are soft, and you will feel them contouring around your body. If you enjoy the feeling of sinking into your mattress as the latex material cradles you, this type of mattress material may be the best choice. Latex is highly durable, which means investing in a latex mattress will allow you comfortable, supportive sleep for years to come. They’re also environmentally friendly, so a great choice if you’re looking for a high-quality mattress that won’t have an impact on your carbon footprint! Latex mattresses are great if you’re a side or light-back sleeper as they can provide high-quality comfort and support.

Gel-infused
We mentioned gel-infused foam, but did you know that gel can be infused into many types of mattresses? You can choose hybrid mattresses, spring mattresses, or memory foam mattresses all with the addition of gel. And as we mentioned earlier, the gel is great for regulating temperature at night so you can stay cool throughout the seasons, but gel can also be a great help when it comes to providing pressure relief. So, if you sleep on your side, putting pressure on your shoulders and hips, a gel layer can help to relieve the pressure, allowing you to wake up feeling fresh, and pain-free.
