Pillow Tops
Pillow top mattresses are popular for a reason. The extra layer of "pillow" that is added to the top of the mattress gives you a comfortable cushion feeling and will allow your shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress. This allows your back to stay in a correct and comfortable position all night long. Pillow tops are a popular choice for many people who don’t want a memory foam or gel mattress, however, they can still run high in pricing.
Memory Foam
Memory foam mattresses have become more and more popular because of the great support they offer while you sleep. In addition to conforming to your body and helping with alignment, some of the other benefits include low motion transfer, durability, and can help reduce and prevent pain on pressure points. One drawback of memory foam can be that they tend to not circulate air well, meaning you can easily get overheated when you sleep. However, more recently many companies including Easy Rest and Oregon Mattress Company have developed cool gel and air-wicking technologies for memory foam to help you sleep cooler at night.
Innerspring
Innerspring mattresses, sometimes referred to as coil mattresses, are one of the most popular types of mattresses for a few reasons. First, they’re easy on the wallet. Compared to other mattresses on the market, this will be the most budget-friendly option. In addition, they’re also easy to find and easy to transport. While they may be easy on the wallet, you generally get what you pay for. With this type of mattress, you often get what you pay for in quality and comfort. They’re also known to wear out quicker than other types, which means you may have to purchase a new one more often.
