Which Mattress To Choose Between Latex And Spring Models?

The quality of your sleep does not depend only on your bed base and your sheets. It is also greatly influenced by the type of mattress you have. Each person may have specific needs, especially in case of back pain or allergies for example. Therefore, you should consider the characteristics of the upholstery and the materials used in the model of your choice before buying it. So, which mattress to choose between latex or spring? Conforama will help you in your decision.

The Characteristics Of Latex Mattresses
Composition And Manufacture
To make an informed choice between a latex or spring mattress, we suggest that you first know the specifics of each model. Latex can be natural or synthetic. Each of these two subtypes has its own peculiarities, but they have in common their flexibility and good elasticity. You can also opt for hybrid or combination mattresses to get the benefits of each and optimal support.

The Advantages Of Synthetic Latex
Mattresses made with this material are a good investment. They provide comfort similar to that of natural latex models and have the advantage of being much less expensive. They also provide impeccable support for sleepers and are resistant to wear and tear, ensuring their durability.

The Advantages Of Natural Latex
Natural latex mattresses offer excellent sleeping independence. They are therefore a good choice for a 2-seater mattress. Airy and well ventilated thanks to their cells, they play an important role in regulating temperature in winter and summer.

They are perfectly ecological and adapt to the contours of the body to offer maximum comfort. We also recommend these mattress models if you have allergies, as they have the advantage of being hypoallergenic, unlike synthetic materials.

Durability And Longevity
If you want to keep your mattresses for many years, we advise you to opt for latex models. Unlike foam mattresses that tend to sag when they are not of good quality, natural latex mattresses can last more than 10 years. Provided, however, that you choose good brands such as those offered by Conforama.

The Characteristics Of Spring Mattresses
Types Of Springs
You will also distinguish several subtypes of spring mattresses according to their structure.

First, there are the pocket spring models. As the name suggests, each spring has its own envelope that separates it from the others. This feature makes these mattresses have excellent sleeping independence. In addition, the weight of the body is evenly distributed over their entire surface.

Then there are those with biconical springs that adapt to your weight throughout the night. This means that their firmness is gradual, ideal for sleepers who move around a lot or tend to change positions while sleeping.

Multi-coil spring mattresses, on the other hand, allow a good distribution of the body weight, but they have less sleeping independence. Their springs are connected to each other for adaptable and dynamic support.

The Advantages Of Spring Mattresses
Spring mattresses are known for their optimal support. They are recommended in case of back pain because they distribute the weight evenly to avoid the creation of high-pressure points. Conforama advises you to opt for models that have a fairly high density.

In addition, air circulates easily between the springs, making them the most breathable models. Their exceptional ventilation helps fight sweat and keeps your bedding dry.

Durability And Longevity
Spring mattresses are very resistant to sagging and have good durability. They will keep you company for several years. Note that those with the most remarkable longevity are those with pocket springs. But, again, it also depends on the brand and quality of the mattress.

The criteria for determining which mattress to choose between latex or springs according to individual needs
There is no right or wrong mattress. Each person may have different needs, which is why it is important to choose your mattress according to very specific criteria.

The Best Mattress For The Back
If you spend a lot of time in bed, you've probably already felt discomfort at pressure points. These areas of the skeleton that are poorly covered by grease come into direct contact with the mattress. This can cause minor pain, or even bedsores in older subjects.

You must think first and foremost about firmness. Latex models are known for their elasticity and flexibility. They are particularly recommended for people who have painful pressure points in the back. Alternatively, we also offer combination models of spring and latex mattresses.

For Couples
If you want to buy a 2-seater mattress, you will have to consider the sleeping independence. Indeed, your sleep will be much more pleasant if you don't feel each of the movements of the person who shares your bed.

A 160 x 200 cm latex mattress will therefore do the trick. If you don't like latex, opt for pocket coils. They are also very comfortable for two-person sleepers. At Conforama, you will find several models of mattresses of 160 x 200 cm.

For People Who Sweat A Lot
Do you often get hot at night and wake up sweaty? Conforama offers natural latex mattresses that provide very good ventilation. Their structure prevents heat build-up, allowing you to sleep peacefully on summer nights.

For Allergy Sufferers
In general, allergies come either from the components of the mattresses, or from accumulated dust and dust mites. If you have a sensitivity to certain materials, Conforama recommends that you opt for natural latex mattresses. They are resistant to dust mites well and are hypoallergenic.

In addition, their good ventilation prevents the stagnation of humidity which promotes the appearance of mold. If you are turning to a spring mattress, consider using a protective cover and an anti-dust mite treatment from time to time to avoid allergies.

Foam Mattresses: Another Interesting Option
At Conforama you will also find mattresses made from several types of foams, each with particular characteristics. You can even opt for one of our memory foam mattresses. These follow the contours of the body, offer a pampering sensation and relieve pressure points.

Plus, they're good value for money. The only downside is that they can sag faster than those made of latex. That's why you should always choose a good brand and a quality mattress.

What About Hybrid Mattresses?
Can't decide between the different types of mattresses? Why not opt for hybrid or combined models? These allow you to enjoy the advantages of different technologies at the same time.

You will therefore appreciate the soft comfort of the foam and the firm support of the springs, without drawing a line under the anti-dust mite properties and the sleeping independence of latex.

You now know the characteristics of the mattresses we offer you according to their filling. All you have to do is check out our different models and read our tips for testing a mattress properly.
