Mattress Comfort Is Essential for a Good Night's Sleep

For most of us in choosing a mattress, comfort is high on our priority list. Here are some of the factors that create mattress comfort.

Materials

In a traditional coil spring mattress, the amount and type of cushioning between the springs and your body will determine how comforttable you are while lying on your mattress. Foam of varying density is a popular choice. Convoluted foam and various fabrics such as wool, silk or even cashmere will create different amounts of plush softness, with a major effect on mattress comfort.

Firmness

Many people find a firm mattress provides the support they want for their backs. Some may feel they are sacrificing comfort for firmness, but on the other hand you won't feel very comfortable if your back hurts. This is very much a matter of personal preference, so make sure you test the mattress well before you buy.

Construction

While memory foam is gaining in popularity for its comfort and support, there is still much comfort to be gained from a well constructed coil spring mattress.

Pay attention to mattress comfort when testing in the store, as it will certtainly contribute to the quality of your sleep.
