What Are You Missing?

The traditional spring mattress and box spring which have been the bedding of choice for hundreds of millions of people for several decades are now facing a serious challenge from a rather surprising quarter: latex foam.There is a foam mattress to meet every budget; however, the cheaper foam mattresses will probably not hold up well under constant use. Some less expensive foam mattresses are even designed to serve as chairs during the daytime and open out into beds at night.

Types of Foam MattressesA single foam mattress can contain one of several kinds of foam; or it may contain layers of different kinds of foam with its degrees of firmness increasing from top to bottom. One type of foam, latex, has the advantages of being hypoallergenic, durable, and biodegradable; another is a unique visco-elastic memory foam developed by the NASA space program.

An eggcrate foam mattress, on the other hand, is very flexible, and good for use on an electrically-adjustable bed.
