🛏️ 2. Memory Foam vs. Spring Mattresses: What Does Sleep Science Say?

We break down the science behind memory foam and spring mattresses so you can choose what’s right for your sleep style.

⚖️ The Great Mattress Debate

For decades, sleepers have argued: spring or memory foam? Modern sleep science finally provides the answer — it depends on your body’s needs, not just comfort preferences.

🧠 Memory Foam: Pressure-Relieving Innovation

Originally developed by NASA, memory foam responds to heat and weight, molding to your body and minimizing pressure points. It’s ideal for:

Side sleepers needing shoulder and hip support
People with joint pain or stiffness
Those sharing a bed — less motion transfer

🔩 Spring Mattresses: Breathable and Bouncy

Spring mattresses rely on coil systems for support and airflow. They’re great for:

Back sleepers who prefer a firmer surface
Hot sleepers needing better ventilation
Traditional feel and longevity

⚙️ The Science of Hybrid Comfort

Today’s top performers combine both. Hybrid mattresses use foam layers atop coil bases for the perfect blend of contouring and responsiveness.
