Key takeaway: Use mattress type to create a shortlist. Use pressure relief, movement, edge feel and purchase terms to make the final decision.
Foam mattresses
All-foam designs range from slow-contouring to responsive. Layer quality, firmness and construction vary substantially.
Hybrid and innerspring mattresses
These use a coil support system with comfort materials above it. Coil style alone does not determine comfort or durability.
Latex and latex-hybrid mattresses
Latex generally has a buoyant, responsive feel. Ask whether the mattress uses latex throughout or only in selected comfort layers.
Two-sided mattresses
Some mattresses are designed for use on both sides. Confirm the flipping schedule, weight and whether both sides have the same comfort.
