Why Are There Different Mattress Types?

There are different mattresses. We’re not just talking about different brands of mattress; we’re talking about genuinely different sleeping systems.

Sometimes you’ll deal with something like the sleep number beds, which are essentially adjustable airbeds that you’ll see elsewhere. And you’ve probably heard of Craftmatic adjustable beds, which sell themselves on the novelty and their health benefits.

You get what we’re saying. There are a lot of different beds out there.

And even if you’re dealing with something like a flat mattress, it’s still not simplified. You have box spring mattresses, coil mattresses, futon mattresses. You have a lot of different types of mattress, and each one is suited to a different kind of sleep.

That’s the key. That’s the big difference between mattresses and the reason why there’s so many of them everywhere.

It simply boils down to the fact that no two bodies are exactly the same. Everyone weighs a little different, everyone has a slightly different body structure, and the pressure of gravity bearing down is going to do different things to each body as a result.

For some bodies, it’s no big deal. They can sleep on the floor, and get up and not feel anything the next day. If you fall asleep on your back, it’s arguably better for you to sleep on the floor anyway, and a thin mattress is good for you.

If you sleep on your side, you’re going to need something more substantial to cushion those joints. That’s where foam mattresses and the like are more handy.

  2. I learned that mattress is very vital to our sleep. And as we know, sleep is very much important because it is the activity which allows are human bodies to be regenerated after a hard day's work and conditioned for the next day. Mattress should really be selected accordingly.. Specially according to the different needs and characteristics of the body.
