We are going to make it easier for you to choose the right mattress by putting them in six different ranges. Each range has different types of mattresses. The difference can be the springs used, the amount of padding on top of the springs for your comfort level and the quality of the padding used.

Mattress manufacturers have a habit of putting names on the mattresses that start with Chiro, Spinal, Lumbar and so on. Please don’t be fooled by this tactic and think that a particular mattress has any special support structure just because the name starts with Chiro.

Most of the mattresses have springs, foam, latex, polyester and wool. The foam comes in all sorts of grades and densities. As I mentioned most mattresses start with springs. Then different layers of padding are put on the springs for comfort. In very simply terms, the more padding you put on the springs the dearer a mattress will get. As foam comes in different densities and grades, higher density foam will be dearer than lower density. Depending on the price of a mattress, it may have standard or memory foam. In some cases it may have gel foam. Gel infused foam is supposed to be cooler. You can also invest in a mattress that has wool in the pillow top for a number of reasons. The wool is extremely effective when it comes to keeping you cool. It’s breathable and natural. It does a great job of absorbing moisture and regulating temperature.
