Which Mattress Type Is Best For You?
The way a mattress is made determines how it sleeps. Traditional innerspring mattresses are made with springs (also called “coils”) inside, which provide the softness or firmness for comfortable sleeping. Today, there are also memory foam and hybrid options available, giving you choices in how you sleep.

How To Choose The Ideal Firmness And Support
The firmer the mattress, the less you’ll feel like you’re sinking into the bed. The firmness is determined by the upper layers of the mattress. Support is determined by the lower layers of the mattress. Typically, innerspring mattresses are firmer because they’re made with coils or springs. Memory foam mattresses may be soft or firm, depending on the construction of the foam. Hybrid mattresses offer the benefits of coils and foam. Larger people may prefer the support of a firmer mattress, while smaller people may be comfortable on a softer mattress. The choice comes down to personal preference.
TIP
How do you sleep? Side sleepers often prefer a softer mattress, while stomach sleepers typically opt for firmer styles. Back sleepers can usually sleep comfortably on soft, medium or firm beds.
