Know Your Mattress Types Before You Buy

Innerspring mattresses are the most widely purchased types of mattress and are designed with individual metal spring coils to provide support. You can choose different levels of firmness, depending on personal preference. Generally, people who suffer from lower back pain sleep better on a firmer mattress.

Euro-top mattresses come with an additional layer of material, such as wool, cotton, gel, or foam, which can provide extra cushioning. Euro-top mattress cores also come in a variety of styles and firmness.

While many people love the way memory foam conforms to their body, it also can keep heat in, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Gel mattresses are memory foam mattresses infused with gel to counteract the heat-trapping qualities of memory foam.

Latex mattresses provide very firm support and are typically made from natural or synthetic rubber. Some mattresses also come with a latex mattress topper, which can help alleviate back pain because of the added support they provide.

Memory foam mattresses contour to your body's shape as you shift throughout the night, which can reduce the pressure points that cause pain. These can be great mattresses for couples since memory foam absorbs movement that's created when a sleeper tosses and turns. However, memory foam can also retain heat, which can lead to an uncomfortable night's sleep for some.
