Pocket Spring Vs. Memory Foam: Which One Should You Go For?

Dec. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Pocket spring mattresses are still the most widely used type of mattresses. They come with coil spring support and every coil is individually enclosed. This gives the mattress a long life and stops the coils from popping out. The top of the mattress is made using different materials, like pillow, latex or memory foam. The reasons people buy pocket spring (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/pocket-sprung-t159#sort3) or a memory foam mattress (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/memory-foam-t158#sort3) is based on personal preferences of the buyer. We will take a look at the case between pocket spring and memory foam mattresses.

SPRING MATTRESS
Spring mattresses usually give the illusion of comfort when decorated with fancy pillow tops. But the lesser known fact is that spring (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/pocket-sprung-t159#sort3) mattresses do not provide sufficient pressure point relief which causes your body to wake up in aching because of all the blood that was unable to circulate freely.
What spring mattresses do is they push against your body with a force. You cannot expect proper support as your body doesn’t push back with an equal force. This causes you to have pressure points that disallow proper blood circulation. All night long you toss and turn and your back keeps aching.

MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS
A popular fact about memory foam mattresses (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/memory...) is they evenly distribute your body weight when you are lying down. You can assume there are plenty of springs that are supporting the weight of every single limb in your body. This reduces the pressure points up to a whopping 80%. Tossing and turning on a memory foam mattress (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/memory-foam-t158#sort3) will likely to be due to your stress from work rather than the material in your mattress.

PROS OF SPRING MATTRESSES

• They are inexpensive and have a long life.
• They can last up to more than 10 years.
• The firmer they are, the better the sleeping experience for you.

PROS OF MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES

• You can get a good memory foam mattress for less than £300 which can last up to a decade.
• Memory foam mattresses (http://www.interiorshq.ie/bedroom-c1/mattresses-c3/memory-foam-t158#sort3) are the best there is for relieving body pressure while you are sleeping.
• Your sleeping movements don’t get transferred as they do in spring beds so your partner can sleep soundly without waking up.
• Lastly, dust mites will never be able to find their way inside the foam. If they might find their way to your foam, they will only stay the surface.

CONS OF SPRING MATTRESSES

• They may start to sag within a few years if not chosen properly.
• They may not provide good back support and so fail at addressing the spinal alignment problem.
• Pressure points become inevitable as the body weight is not evenly distributed.

CONS OF MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES

• Extremely good quality branded memory foam mattresses can be quite pricey.
• Price is dependent on the quality of the mattress. The better the quality, the higher the price.

Some mattresses might take longer to conform and adjust back to their flat form.
