Spring vs. Foam: Which Mattress Is Right For You?


By Pocatello Electric





Did you know that your mattress is one of the main factors that contribute to getting a good night’s sleep? If you’re already having trouble sleeping, then you may want to know the differences between a foam mattress and a spring mattress. Sleeping on a supportive mattress will directly affect your lifestyle and how you go about your daily activities. Thus, it is imperative to ensure you make the most of your sleep on the right mattress! Let’s take a look at the main differences between a foam mattress and a spring mattress:


If you’re leaning toward a spring mattress:
  • Springs are still being used because they are quite inexpensive.
  • There is a misconception that spring mattresses are supportive and comfortable. However, they do not offer sufficient pressure point relief.
  • Despite losing approximately 16% of its firmness within the first year, a spring mattress can last up to 10+ years
  • There are a variety of spring mattresses in almost every price range. The firmer the mattress, the better.




If you’re leaning toward a foam mattress:
  • A foam mattress significantly reduces pressure points. That being said, having less pressure points will in turn cause less tossing and turning.
  • Unlike spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses do not need to be flipped. There is absolutely no maintenance in this respect.
  • Allergies are less likely with a memory foam mattress. Dust mites can only live on the surface, and not on the inside of the mattress.
  • Memory foam mattresses are extremely sensitive to temperature, which means that temperature will determine how long it takes for the mattress to adjust itself to your body. The colder the room, the longer it will take the mattress to shape itself.




Now that you have the pros and cons for each mattress, you can evaluate your needs and make the right purchase!
