Mattress types

Memory Foam : A memory foam mattress combines a layer of memory foam with springs or support foam that uses your body heat to soften and mould to your shape. Once pressure is removed, memory foam will bounce back slowly and over time remembering your body shape and optimal sleeping position.
ActiGel : An actigel mattress is combined with memory foam, being the most common type. It can also be combined with latex and pocket spring mattresses.
Latex : A latex mattress combines latex foam with either springs or reflex foam to create a supportive and durable sleep surface.
Hybrid : Includes a layer of coiled springs on the bottom and one to three layers of latex or memory foam on the top.
Pocket sprung : A pocket sprung mattress is made from individual pocket springs, each enclosed within its own fabric pocket. The spring reacts only to the pressure applied to that area, they don't move as a whole unit.
Open coil spring : An open coil mattress is a supportive, sprung mattress that features coils of high tensile steel that has been wound into hundreds of springs and connected by a wire rod edge. They run from side-to-side and are available in a range of firmness ratings that include soft, medium or firm.
