While searching for a new mattress, it is common to ask these questions.

But there will never be an exact answer, because everything depends on you, your perceptions and your needs.

Although there are some objective data, such as that the memory foam and latex. There are always variables to determine which the best mattress for who is selecting it is.

The weight, the movements during the night or the heat / cold will decant the balance in favour of one mattress or another.

In our brand-new website, we take into account all these details and help you choose the mattress that best suits you. Awesome right?

First, you can have at your home or buy a common memory foam mattress or a latex mattress with good adaptability.

Why this type of mattress?

Because they are the most demanded in the market at this time. In this post, we will determine the differences between a latex mattress and a memory foam mattress. In addition, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of them?

To buy a good mattress that suits our needs, we need to know what options the market offers.

In addition, we must also take into account the properties of the mattress and the advantages and disadvantages it presents.

The general comparison

Memory foam mattresses tend to leave patients satisfied by 80% (the only type of mattress that has a close consistency is latex). This statistic means that, on average, 4 out of 5 people are satisfied with mattresses that contain this material.

This high satisfaction comes from the many benefits it has.

These mattresses are made with certified foam called Viscoelastic and premium materials, which balance support and comfort. In addition to Airflow technology with breathable materials to be cold all night.

Latex mattresses

Now, latex mattresses are those in which the core (spring, foam) has been replaced by a compact latex core. The amount of natural latex in the mattress varies between 20% and 97%, the rest is usually synthetic latex foam.

This is because latex, as a natural product, needs a series of hardening and stabilization products.

The idea is that it can be a solid, stable and lasting block.

Which one is best?

If we look for a very adaptable mattress, but we do not tolerate heat, we should opt for a latex mattress. Another option would be to use a memory foam mattress with a mattress specially designed to give freshness.

In addition, if we live in humid climates, the gel memory foam mattress is more indicated, since the latex is affected by humidity.

On the other hand, if we look for a mattress of natural materials, we must opt ​​for latex. The memory foam is 100% synthetic.

In general, each person is different and there are many models of mattresses with different strengths and advantages.

In addition, there are mattresses of material combinations, such as springs with latex and springs with memory foam.

The main difference between the two types of mattresses is the quality of its components.

Companies that manufacture natural latex mattresses often choose organic raw materials, such as natural and organic wool and cotton. Manufacturers of traditional spring mattresses often use synthetic foams and chemically treated synthetic fabrics.

To know which mattress best suits your preferences, we recommend a cool gel mattress.  It will get you an amazing sleep for a lot less money than a latex mattress.  Any questions, call the specialists with any questions for free at Gotta Sleep.  They will be happy to answer your questions and doubts.

Thank you for sharing the information on the differences in a mattress purchase. Have a memory foam pillow and not so sure that I really like it. So if the mattress is similar my answer would be no to that type.

Latex mattresses typically a stellar sleep.  It's a completely different feeling floating on top of your bed compared to being cupped like a memory foam mattress.  I enjoyed sleeping on ours, but after testing our OMG Mattress, my wife asked me to put ours in the guest room!
