It should be understood that a mattress is the most important part of any bed. Even if you have bought a beautiful bed which makes your bedroom look outstanding it is not doing its job unless it gives you the support and comfort you need for a perfect night's sleep.If you have bought a mattress that does not give you the right support and comfort you will not wake the next morning refreshed to tackle the day ahead. There are many types of mattresses on the market at the moment but the most popular ones are memory foam or pocket spring mattresses.The pocket spring mattress is made using hundreds or even 1000 individual springs in their own separate cotton pocket. The springs are covered with suitable material so that you do not feel the springs themselves. Whereas a memory foam mattress is made from a layer of memory foam on top of other suitable materials. This gives an even overall support over the entire mattress. The differences between memory foam mattresses and pocket spring mattresses is that the memory foam gives total body support. A memory foam mattress and a pocket spring mattress differ greatly in this respect. When lying on a pocket spring mattress your body depresses the springs depending on the weight of the individual part of the body, giving more tension to the springs at your shoulders and hips causing these parts of the body to be under added pressure.With a memory foam mattress, this does not happen, because the foam material conforms to your body shape and gives equal pressure and support to all parts of the body. As there is equal pressure to all parts of the body this overcomes any pressure points to any parts of the body. Another advantage of using foam in a mattress is that when two people share a bed the foam mattress adjusts itself to each individual partner irrespective of size and weight, this also means that one partner will not disturb the other partner when tossing and turning in bed helping to provide an undisturbed night`s sleep. Another difference between a foam mattress and a pocket spring mattress is their ability to respond to changes in temperature both from a person's body and room temperature. Memory foam mattresses are able to detect the different temperatures of your body and will therefore alter the firmness of the mattress. A pocket spring mattress does not have this ability and will keep the same firmness whatever the temperature.When choosing between a foam mattress and a pocket spring mattress you should take into consideration the fact that although they both will give you a good night`s sleep, they both react in different ways. If you choose a pocket spring mattress you must remember that it will give the same firmness to both you and your partner whereas a memory foam mattress will react differently to each partner ensuring that you both have a perfect night`s sleep.
