So you did your research. You finally realised that one of the causes for those sleepless nights and achy mornings might be your mattress. That old mattress that you want to see the back of.
With so many choices, pinpointing a product that meets your needs can be daunting and intimidating.
As you research, you will see two popular options recently attracting considerable attention: The Hybrid Mattress and The Memory Foam Mattress. And now the burning question: Which one is better?
We will help you find some clarity on the mattress and make your choice easier as we explore the pros and cons of each.
Before we get into the technical details, it feels right to clarify what a hybrid mattress is. This will help make your mattress shopping more straightforward as you encounter terminology that you are not familiar with.
As the name suggests, a hybrid or combination mattress is a multi-layered mattress that combines springs and foam layers for the best comfort and support. So, it sounds like someone is pushing the limits of innovations to give you a better night’s sleep.
With the mix of memory foam, latex, or gel, along with the innerspring system, you can experience both the pressure relief of the foam layers and the sturdy feel of a traditional spring mattress, bringing together the features of both mattresses.
Did you have that lightbulb moment?
Memory foam mattresses are made of a polymer known as polyurethane.
In simpler words, this is an innovative material designed to shape itself to the contours of your body. What’s even more interesting is that, in the first instance, this was designed for NASA. Today, memory foam technology is found in numerous products, including the furniture we purchase and even shoes!
When the high-density, low-resilience polyurethane foam reacts to your body heat, the memory foam will soften, allowing you to sink into the mattress gently. When pressure is released, this will, in turn, mould back into shape—enough physics.
Which one is better?
The memory foam mattress has, in turn, some significant advantages as well.
It features excellent pressure relief and contouring as it takes the shape of your body and fills in any gaps.
This helps keep your spine in neutral alignment, so proper alignment would be another benefit of this type of mattress.
A memory foam mattress cuts down on motion transfer, while a hybrid can feature higher motion transfer. Memory foam absorbs movement, which is especially valuable if you sleep with a partner and don’t want to disturb each other at night. There is a lot to offer already, isn’t it?
Last but not least, a memory foam mattress is hypoallergenic as it features resistance to dust, dust mites, and other allergens that commonly congregate on our mattresses.
Finally, memory foam mattresses are the best option for side sleepers due to their excellent pressure relief feature.
We hope this helped narrow your decision and that you now understand a Hybrid mattress. Here are some of our best recommendations.
If you need a mattress that will regulate your body temperature and provide outstanding comfort and total support, then you will enjoy the Sleepeezee Hybrid 2000 Mattress. This mattress offers the perfect blend of technologies, featuring traditional pocket springs and Encapsulated 2000 SoftTech. The fillings include the advanced StayCool gel and 50mm of super soft foam.
If you need a mattress that will enhance circulation, equalise the pressure to relieve back problems, and promote better spinal alignment, then you should try the Silentnight Studio Mattress. Due to its memory foam layer for pressure-relieving support, this mattress will provide excellent support regardless of your body size or sleeping position.
Now that we have explored the wonderland of mattress innovations, understanding your sleeping preferences is vital before purchasing.
If you are a back or stomach sleeper, a heavier person, or need extra support.
A hybrid mattress might be an excellent choice for you.
If you are more of a side sleeper and need help keeping your spine in neutral alignment, then memory foam could be the best option.
We hope this helps you decide so you can soon wave goodbye to those sleepless nights and achy mornings.
