When it comes to mattresses, there are a lot of different types to choose from. It can be overwhelming to decide which type is best for you. To help you decide, let’s look at the differences between pocket spring, bonnell spring, memory foam, latex, and gel mattresses. 

• Pocket Spring:

Pocket spring mattresses are made up of individual springs that are encased in small fabric pockets. This allows each spring to move independently from the others, providing better support and isolation of movement. These mattresses are great for people who need extra support, as the springs adjust to your body shape and weight. 

• Bonnell Spring:

Bonnell spring mattresses are made up of hourglass-shaped steel coils connected to each other. These coils are not individually pocketed, so they are not as supportive or isolating as pocket springs. Bonnel spring mattresses are most often used for budget mattresses, as they are cheaper to produce than pocket spring mattresses. 

• Memory Foam:

Memory foam mattresses are made from polyurethane foam that is designed to conform to your body shape and weight. Memory foam mattresses are great for people who need extra support, as the foam cushions your body and relieves pressure points. Memory foam mattresses can be quite hot, so look for breathable versions if you want a cooler sleeping experience.

• Latex:

Latex mattresses are made from natural or synthetic rubber foam. They are great for people who need extra support and pressure point relief, as the latex conforms to your body shape. Latex mattresses are also much cooler than memory foam mattresses, so they are a good choice if you tend to get hot when you sleep. 

• Gel: 

Gel mattresses are made from a combination of foam and gel. The gel helps to disperse heat, so these mattresses are cooler than other types of mattresses. They are great for people who need extra support, as the foam and gel combination conforms to your body shape and relieves pressure points. 

No matter what type of mattress you choose, it's important to find one that is comfortable and supportive. To do this, take some time to research the different types of mattresses and find one that fits your needs, and visit our mattress options.

The number of zones in a mattress can have a big impact on how you sleep. While most mattresses are available in three-zone, five-zone, and seven-zone configurations, it's important to understand the differences between them in order to choose the best mattress for your needs.

A three-zone mattress provides support for the head, shoulders, and lower back. This type of mattress works best for those who tend to sleep with their head and shoulders elevated, as the mattress can provide the right level of support for the lumbar area. This type of mattress is also ideal for people who are looking for a basic mattress that offers adequate support but doesn't cost too much.

A five-zone mattress is the most popular type because it provides support for the head, neck, shoulders, lower back, and hips. This type of mattress is great for people who need more support in the lumbar region and those who prefer to sleep in multiple positions. The five-zone mattress also works well for those who tend to change sleeping positions throughout the night.

Finally, a seven-zone mattress provides support for the head, neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, and legs. This type of mattress is ideal for those whose middle zone is designed to provide support for your lumbar area, while the four outer zones are designed to provide comfort for your hips and shoulders. These mattresses are ideal for people who need more support and prefer a firmer feel.

Choosing the right mattress is an important decision that can affect your sleeping habits and overall health. While three-zone, five-zone, and seven-zone mattresses all provide different levels of support and comfort, it's important to understand the differences between them in order to make an informed decision. By considering your needs and preferences, you can find the perfect mattress for you. Visit ifurniture for more options.

Consider these factors before purchasing your mattress:

Comfort: When selecting a mattress, it is important to choose one that is comfortable for you. You should consider your preferred sleeping position, as well as any pressure points you may have. For example, if you are a side sleeper, you may need more cushioning to prevent your shoulders and hips from sinking too far into the mattress. If you are a back sleeper, you may need more support to keep your spine aligned. Additionally, if you experience any pressure points while sleeping, such as hip or shoulder discomfort, you may need to look for a mattress that offers more cushioning in those areas. It is also important to consider the firmness level of the mattress, as some people prefer a firmer mattress while others prefer a softer mattress. After considering all of these factors, you should be able to select a mattress that will provide you with the comfort and support you need.

Firmness: This is an important factor to consider when selecting a mattress. The firmness level of a mattress is measured on a scale ranging from soft to extra firm, and it is important to choose a mattress that provides the right amount of support for your body. Soft mattresses may provide more cushioning and comfort, while extra-firm mattresses may offer more support and stability. Consider what level of firmness will best suit your sleeping habits and preferences and select a mattress that provides the necessary support.

Material: When choosing a mattress, it's important to consider your personal preferences, and requirements for durability, cooling, and comfort.

• A pocket spring mattress is a mattress that is made up of individually pocketed springs, rather than one single coil or layer of springs. Each pocketed spring is individually wrapped in fabric and works independently from the other springs. This allows the mattress to conform to the body’s shape and weight, as each spring moves independently. This also decreases the amount of motion transfer, making the mattress ideal for couples as there is minimal disturbance from the other person’s movements. Pocket springs are also more durable than conventional innerspring mattresses and typically last longer.
• Memory foam mattresses are made of a special foam that responds to the weight and heat of your body. The foam conforms to the shape of your body and provides support for your spine and joints. Memory foam mattresses also help reduce motion transfer, so if your partner moves during the night, you won't be disturbed. Memory foam mattresses come in a variety of levels of firmness and thickness, so you can find the perfect mattress for your comfort needs.
• Gel mattresses are mattresses that contain a layer of gel material. This layer is usually found between the mattress comfort layers and the support core. Gel mattresses provide a combination of pressure relief, comfort, and support that can help alleviate pain and improve sleep quality. Gel mattresses are designed to be cooler than traditional mattresses, making them ideal for those who tend to sleep hot. They also provide a softer feel than foam mattresses and may be a good choice for those who prefer a plush sleeping experience.
• Latex mattresses are made from natural or synthetic rubber foam, which is known for its superior comfort and support. It creates a more buoyant sleeping surface than traditional mattresses and provides pressure relief for a more restful night’s sleep. Latex mattresses are often considered to be more durable and longer lasting than other types of mattresses, as well as being hypoallergenic. They are also naturally resistant to dust mites and other allergens, making them ideal for those with allergies or asthma.

Depending on your needs, any of these materials could be the right choice for you.

Size: When selecting a mattress size, consider the size of your bed frame and the amount of space you have in your bedroom. Measure the length and width of your bed frame and make sure you select a mattress size that fits comfortably within these dimensions. Additionally, think about your sleeping habits and how much space you like to have when sleeping. If you are a couple and have children, consider a larger size such as a king or super king size to ensure you both have enough space to move around comfortably and you have extra space to snuggle in case your kids want to sleep with you.

Budget: Creating a budget for a mattress purchase is an important step in the process. It is important to determine how much you are willing to spend on a mattress before you start shopping. Consider the size of the mattress you need and the type of mattress you prefer. Research mattress styles and materials to find the best mattress for your budget. Additionally, factor in any potential delivery fees that may apply when selecting a mattress. Most of our mattresses come rolled packed and easy to transport when you first got them, and some very firm mattresses come as it is which need more space to transport. Finally, set a budget and stick to it to ensure you get the best mattress that fits within your budget.

Before making a purchase, it's a good idea to try out a mattress in-store as the right mattress for you is highly personal and subjective.
