What are the different types of mattresses?

These are the main types of mattresses. Within each type you'll find a lot of different options so you can choose the best comfort and support for you to get a good night’s sleep.

Spring mattresses

In sprung mattresses the springs help keep your body supported. Your weight is spread evenly over the whole mattress, so there’s not too much pressure on any part of you. They include at least one layer of foam for added comfort.

Foam mattresses 

These can contain different types of foam, including memory foam. They all provide good support, adapt their shape to the contours of your body and absorb the shock of body movements.
