Use our handy guide below for a quick overview, or continue reading for a deeper dive into mattress types and their benefits

What Is an Innerspring Mattress?

Innerspring mattresses have been a sleep staple for over a century, built with a durable steel coil support system designed to absorb body weight and provide stability. These coils can be configured as a single connected unit or individually wrapped, commonly known as pocketed coils.

Most modern innerspring mattresses utilize pocketed coil technology, which offers superior motion isolation compared to traditional open-coil designs. In an open-coil system, all the springs respond together when pressure is applied—meaning movement travels across the bed, affecting anyone sleeping beside you. Pocketed coils, on the other hand, adapt independently, absorbing motion within localized areas to minimize sleep disturbances and improve comfort.

Pros:

  • Time-Tested Durability – Built with steel coils, innerspring mattresses are designed to last for years before losing tension.
  • Enhanced Airflow & Cooling – The open structure promotes better ventilation, keeping you cooler at night compared to foam or hybrid options.
  • Budget-Friendly Options – Many innerspring mattresses come at a lower price point, making them an accessible choice.

Cons:

  • Potential Motion Transfer – Traditional open-coil designs may transfer movement across the bed, though pocketed coil systems help reduce disruptions.
  • Not Ideal for Joint & Back Pain – Those with chronic pain may find foam or hybrid mattresses provide better support and pressure relief.
  • Varied Construction – Many innerspring mattresses integrate fabric, foam, or gel layers, offering a mix of features to balance comfort and support
What Is a Memory Foam Mattress?

Memory foam mattresses are among the most popular choices today, offering exceptional comfort, support, and pressure relief. Unlike traditional innerspring mattresses, memory foam is made from dense polyurethane, a material originally developed by NASA to enhance cushioning and shock absorption. Today, it’s widely used in mattresses, pillows, seat cushions, and even pet beds!

Most memory foam mattresses feature multiple layers of specialized foam, each designed to enhance sleep quality. For example, our iComfort memory foam mattress includes Air Support™ Foam, which contours to your body, providing optimal cushioning and pressure relief. Additionally, a layer of Carbon Fiber memory foam helps channel excess heat away, promoting a cooler and more restful sleep.

Pros:

  • Exceptional Comfort & Support – Memory foam contours to your body, relieving pressure and keeping your back and joints pain-free.
  • Minimized Motion Transfer – Unlike innerspring mattresses, memory foam absorbs movement, reducing sleep disturbances for those sharing a bed.
  • Improved Cooling Technology – While memory foam was once known for retaining heat, many modern models feature gel-infused or ventilated foam layers for a cooler, more restful sleep.
  • Hypoallergenic Properties – The dense foam structure helps prevent dust, mold, and dust mites from settling in, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers.

Cons:

  • Can Be Heavy & Difficult to Move – Compared to innerspring models, memory foam mattresses tend to be bulkier and harder to transport.
  • Adjustment Period – If you’ve never slept on memory foam before, it can take some time to get used to the way it molds to your body.
  • Not Waterproof – Spills can seep into the foam, making cleanup challenging. Investing in a high-quality waterproof mattress protector helps prevent damage and extends the lifespan of your mattress.
What Is a Hybrid Mattress?

A hybrid mattress combines the best features of innerspring and memory foam mattresses, offering a balance of support, comfort, and responsiveness. These multi-layer designs feature several layers of memory foam or gel foam on top of a traditional innerspring coil system, blending cushioning pressure relief with durable support.

While some innerspring mattresses include a thin foam layer for added comfort, hybrids take it a step further with thicker foam layers, providing deeper contouring and reduced motion transfer. Unlike traditional innerspring mattresses, hybrids do not have the signature tufted fabric top, giving them a sleeker, more modern look.

Pros:

  • Balanced Comfort & Support – Hybrids combine the plush cushioning of memory foam with the responsiveness of innerspring coils, offering a perfect middle ground.
  • Reduced Motion Transfer – Unlike traditional innerspring mattresses, hybrids minimize movement, making them ideal for couples.
  • Enhanced Edge Support – Memory foam mattresses can sometimes lack structural integrity at the edges, but hybrids provide stronger perimeter support without sacrificing comfort.
  • Cooling Benefits – Many hybrid mattresses incorporate advanced cooling technology, such as gel-infused foam or breathable coil systems, to help regulate temperature.

Cons:

  • Higher Price Point – Because hybrids incorporate multiple materials and advanced designs, they can be more expensive than memory foam or traditional innerspring options.
  • Potential Weight & Bulk – Hybrid mattresses tend to be heavier, making them more difficult to move or adjust compared to standard foam or innerspring models.
  • Not for Everyone – While hybrids aim to deliver the best of both worlds, individual sleep preferences vary—some may prefer the full-body contour of memory foam, while others may enjoy the firmer support of innerspring.

Ultimately, hybrid mattresses offer a well-rounded solution, but choosing the right mattress comes down to your unique comfort and support needs.

Consider Your Sleeping Position When Choosing a Mattress

Stomach Sleepers

  • Hybrid or Innerspring Models – These provide reinforced support and prevent excessive sinking.
  • Firm Memory Foam Options – Offers contouring without losing essential structure.
  • Avoid Soft Pillow-Top Mattresses – They may feel plush but lack the stability stomach sleepers need.

A well-supported sleep surface ensures better alignment, less pain, and a more restful night’s sleep.

Back Sleepers

  • Memory Foam or Hybrid Models – These offer contouring support while keeping the spine properly aligned.
  • Innerspring Mattresses with a Plush Top – A firmer coil system with added cushioning can provide both structure and comfort.

Choosing the right firmness level ensures optimal spinal support, helping back sleepers wake up feeling refreshed and ache-free.

Side Sleepers

  • Plush to Medium-Firm Memory Foam or Hybrid Models – These contour to the body, offering pressure relief and spinal support. Providing the right balance of support and comfort,
  • Avoid Extra Firm Mattresses – These don’t allow enough give to keep side sleepers comfortable throughout the night.

Choosing a mattress that adapts to your body’s natural curves ensures better sleep quality and less discomfort, helping you wake up refreshed and pain-free.
