Your mattress is the foundation to a good night’s sleep, which is why it’s important you choose the right one. But with so many options out there, how do you know which one is best for you?
At Warehouse Furniture Clearance, we often get asked about the differences between pocket springs, memory foam, and Hybrid Mattresses.
Here's what you need to know about the different mattresses.
Pocket Spring Mattresses
Pocket spring mattresses are made with individually wrapped springs that move independently.
Pros:
- Excellent support, especially for people with back or joint pain
- Good airflow, keeping you cooler at night
- ‘Minimal partner disturbance (springs move separately)
Best for:
Pocket spring mattresses are best for hot sleepers, couples, and those who want a supportive, traditional mattress feel.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory Foam Mattresses are made entirely (or mostly) from foam that contours your body.
Pros:
Exceptional pressure relief for hips and shoulders
Great motion isolation (idea if your partner tosses and turns)
Plush, body-hugging feel
Cons:
Can trap heat (unless infused with cooling gels)
May feel too soft for those who prefer firm support
Best for:
Side sleepers, people with pressure-point issues, and those who love a cosy “sink-in” feel.
Hybrid Mattresses
Hybrid Mattresses are a combination of pocket springs and memory foams (or other foams).
Pros:
- Best of both worlds: support and contouring comfort
- More breathable than all-foam
- Durable construction with balanced feel
Cons:
- Hybrid foams are often heavier and pricier than single-type mattresses.
Best for:
Anyone who wants comfort and support in one without compromising on cooling or cushioning.
Which one is right for you?
Pocket Spring: Cooler, bouncier, supportive
Memory Foam: Softer, contouring, pressure-relieving
Hybrid: Balanced, versatile, modern choice
Pro Tip: Always consider your sleeping position, body type, and whether you share a bed before choosing.
