Mattress types

An open coil mattress is made from a continuous wire wrapped around to create a series of coils. These coils are typically arranged in rows and connected together to form the spring unit.

A Tempur mattress will typically outlast other memory foam mattresses. They come with a 10-year guarantee and can last between 10 and 15 years. Some Tempur mattresses have even been known to last around 25 years. So the price you pay for a Tempur mattress is often reflected in how long it lasts.

A hybrid mattress is a mix of mattress materials, typically a combination of springs and foams. They are the perfect compromise for many sleepers as they combine the support of a traditional sprung mattress with the comfort and cushioning benefits of different foams.

Memory foam is a durable material that retains its shape well over time. High-density memory foam is more resilient and less likely to sag. However, mattress sagging is to be expected over time. With correct mattress care, you can help minimise the effects of sagging and prolong the life of the mattress.

Memory foam mattresses offer excellent pressure relief, comfort, and support. But some memory foam mattresses may feel warmer to sleep on due to the density and softness of the material.
