Get help choosing sprung, latex or foam Foam & latex mattresses(3) Foam & latex mattresses The price reflects selected options As a designer I’m inspired by patterns, so I began creating the mattresses with lots of shapes in mind. Dots, stripes and squares, combined in all sorts of ways. Suddenly I remembered the quilted winter coats of my childhood – and the pattern was born. Different squares for different sizes, and seams on the thinner mattresses that make a striped pattern. The number of seams increases along with the price and the quilted squares give extra support. I hope you’ll find a mattress to suit both your body and your wallet.

Interested in a "bed-in-a-box" foam and latex mattresses? Our 2017 mattress review looks at five popular mattresses from brands like Koala, and compares them with a traditional innersping Sealy. Our 2015 mattress satisfaction survey forms part of our annual reliability survey, which asks thousands of members about the products they own, including TVs, fridges, vacuum cleaners, robot vacuum cleaners, steam mops, juicers, smartphones, washing machines and hot water systems. In April and May 2015, we asked more than 5000 people who'd bought a new mattress to tell us: when they'd bought it the mattress brand and type (such as inner-spring, latex, memory foam)
what the pillow top is made from (if applicable) how much they spent on the mattress how they would rate the mattress on a seven-point scale from "excellent" to "terrible" (categories are weighted to calculate the satisfaction score) whether they experienced any major or minor problems with the mattress and if so, what were the main issues? Tempur and Madison owners are more satisfied than owners of other brands. However, most mattress owners are happy overall regardless of brand, with 74% of people rating them either excellent or very good. % of owners reporting a problem* Sample size in brackets. *Base: Up to first eight years of ownership. Out of all mattresses, 49% have a pillow-top, which is the additional padding sewn onto the top of the mattress. The most popular types of pillow tops are cotton, memory foam, wool and latex. When asked about mattress types, inner-spring was overwhelmingly popular. What type of mattress do you have?
Other foam (eg polyurethane) In the first eight years of ownership, only 4% of mattress owners reported a major problem and only 16% had any problem at all. Of those with problems, the most common complaint was sinking and sagging (59%). Other complaints include back pain and being hot (memory foam owners were less likely to complain of sagging, but were more likely to have complaints about being hot). Is it worth paying more for a mattress? People who spend less than $500 on a mattress are significantly less happy with their mattress on average, but once you get over this amount we found it has very little impact on satisfaction. Most people tend to spend between $1000 and $2000 on a mattress, and it always pays to negotiate. Check out our 2017 investigation into mattress industry pricing for more. How much did your mattress cost?The spring mattress is by far the most common type of mattress in use. The core of the mattress is made up of metal springs, or coils, to support your body.
In many spring mattresses, the coils are encased in individual pockets, which offer more contoured support and better movement isolation than connected springs. A comfort layer is added on top of the coils and can be made from a variety of materials, including pillow padding and latex. Spring mattresses range in firmness of the coils and plushness of the comfort layer, so nearly anyone can find a mattress that feels right. They are also extremely affordable, particularly compared to memory foam mattresses. Whether you are in the market for a new pocket-coil mattress or one with continuous springs, here are some key factors to keep in mind to help you choose the best mattress for getting a good night’s sleep. Coil gauge refers to the thickness and firmness of the coils. Many people mistakenly believe that the total number of coils defines a good mattress, but the gauge of the metal the coils are made from is more important. That’s because coil gauge determines the firmness and overall support of a spring mattress.
Coil gauge is measured in quarter increments and the lower the number, the thicker the gauge. Furthermore, the thicker the gauge, the firmer a mattress will be. In addition to coil gauge, you should consider the type of materials used for the upholstered top layer of a spring mattress. While the coils provide support, this comfort layer augments the feel of the mattress, providing further comfort and cushioning. Look for high-quality materials that conform to your body and are layered for extra comfort. The best mattresses are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from twin to California king. Most people change positions frequently in their sleep. Thus, opt for a spring mattress that is big enough for you to move freely for a peaceful and uninterrupted night of sleep. Warranties on spring mattresses cover manufacturing defects, such as a coil popping out of the mattress. Any mattress you are considering should come with a multi-year warranty that protects against such defects.
