If you've been having trouble sleeping, you may want to consider changing your mattress, especially if your mattress is more than six years old. Worn out mattresses tend to be quite uncomfortable and saggy. The solution to your sleeping problems may be as easy as buying a new mattress. However, the challenge is finding the right mattress for your needs. To make things easier for you, we've put together a list of the six most popular types of mattresses, together with their advantages and disadvantages so you can make an informed choice about which mattress suits you best. Let us help you make your bedroom more sleep-friendly.

1. Memory foam

For people who prefer to sleep on their side, memory foam mattresses are highly recommended. One of the main advantages of memory foam is that it contours to the shape of your body and your position as you sleep. So if you're a side sleeper, you will get all the hip and shoulder support that you need. Memory foam also tends to last longer as it many layers of foam.



2. Gel

A Gel mattress usually refers to a foam mattress with gel in one layer. This mattress is great for the hot climate in India as it absorbs heat.

3. Pillow tops

The pillow top mattress is actually an additional layer of upholstery which you can add to your existing mattress. They have a similar effect as memory foam and provide the perfect support for side sleepers.


4. Innerspring

This mattress uses an internal support of metal springs. The quality of the mattress can be measured by how many coils it contains as the coils determine how well the mattress takes the shape of your body. People who sleep on their back, tummy or side will do well with a innerspring mattress.

5. Latex mattresses

Latex mattresses offer many different levels of firmness and softness to accommodate to all kinds of needs. Another advantage is that it's lighter compared to memory foam and innerspring mattresses.

You may also want to consult with a professional personally to get more customized advice.


6. Adjustable bases

This type of mattress offers the most flexibility as you can adjust it according to your needs. For example, you can adjust the base to raise your feet, offer more support for your back or put you in an upright position. If you have sleeping disorders or back pain, this might be the best choice for you.
