Mattress Type

Taking care of yourself begins with a good night’s rest, which is why knowing which type of mattress is best for you is as important as knowing your preferred comfort level. Get to know the basics on all the great mattress selections we carry!

Traditional Innerspring Mattresses

Bonnell coils, continuous wire coils, hourglass coils—innerspring mattresses come in a variety of support options. However, pocketed coils—which are individually wrapped in fabric for true, individual support—are the premium choice of innerspring mattress.

How Do Coils Provide Better Sleep?

Anyone who’s jumped on a coil mattress knows they’re full of bounce. While bounciness might not be ideal when sharing a mattress, the responsiveness makes getting in and out of bed and switching from one sleep position to the next easy. Generally, the firm support of an innerspring mattress makes it the best option for back and neck pain.

Did you know?

Since innerspring mattresses have less material in their construction, they are also more breathable than foam or latex mattresses.

Enjoy Memorable Rest on a Memory Foam Mattress

Designed to contour to your body, viscoelastic foam mattresses have quickly become a popular sleep choice for those who like plush, full-body rest. While the soft support of a memory foam mattress is ideal for stomach sleepers, its ability to provide correct spine and neck alignment means a memory foam mattress is also a good choice for a side sleeper or a back sleeper.

Did you know?

Memory foam mattresses are also hypoallergenic!

Mattress brands have listened to the feedback from sleepers who enjoy the contouring support of foam but not how hot it is during sleep. If you’re a toasty sleeper, rest assured—the following are fantastic memory foam alternatives that deliver the best of both worlds!

• Gel memory foam mattresses are infused with special beads that provide two additional benefits: increased mattress density and temperature regulation.
• Open-cell memory foam mattresses make it easier for air to travel between the material, allowing better heat dispersion for a cooler sleeping environment all through the night.

Latex vs. Memory Foam

Unlike memory foam mattresses that conform around your entire body, latex mattresses provide support to areas directly in contact with the mattress. This results in a firm feel that “doesn’t sink,” with a bounce similar to a traditional coil mattress. Additionally, since latex comes from rubber trees, it’s a more sustainable and eco-friendly option, but should be avoided if you are allergic to latex.

Comfort That’s Just Right

A hybrid mattress fuses the body-contouring comfort of a memory foam mattress with the durable coil support of an innerspring mattress. That means you can enjoy reduced motion transfer on the surface with a springy responsiveness at the core. This combination is ideal for chronic back pain sufferers who benefit from support that is not too soft and not too firm.

Mega Comfort, Small Package

A mattress-in-a-box is a smart solution if you live in an upstairs unit, are upgrading a second-story bedroom, or just like the convenience of having a mattress come to you. Compressed into a compact, easy-to-handle package, setting up a bed-in-a-box is as easy as unpacking and letting it resettle. Best of all, mattress-in-a-box options are now available from major brands, so you can enjoy this innovation without compromising comfort.

Keep in Mind

Once unpacked, a mattress-in-a-box requires a few hours of airing out to get back to its original shape.
