Have you ever thought about how people got the idea to start sleeping on springs in the first place? I mean, think about it for a moment , what would it feel like lying on the bare springs? And why is it, that lying on springs with some kind of covering over them, is considered any better?

The creation of an innerspring mattress was first documented, by patent, in 1865, and there have just been some minor upgrades , to that first design, in the following 140 years. In the same period, we went from ploughing fields with oxen, to people living in space. Don’t you think it’s possible that we might find new ideas and materials to enhance the things we spend 1/3 of our life on?

The distinctions between an ordinary coil spring mattress and a memory foam mattress, will be given, to help you understand the difference.

The Distinction In Complete Body Support

One way, in which a memory foam mattress is more suitable for you is the feature of total body support. A memory foam mattress and a coil spring mattress differ greatly in this respect. A coil spring mattress makes you adjust to it. force , from the coil springs, in the mattress, is exerted against your body. It’s similar to a push and shove match. Your body is pressing down on the coil springs , making them bounce back and they’re shoving back against your body , trying to recoil . On an innerspring mattress, your body must conform to the mattress’s shape. This is why you suffer from sore muscles and stiffness, when you wake up in the morning. With the best memory foam mattress, everything is on the contrary. The memory foam adapts to your body, because it’s your body that pushes it’s force onto it. So, as you lie on it , you will observe the memory foam changing to support you, giving you a feeling of complete relaxation. It is due to this feature, of a memory foam mattress, to totally support your body and adjust to your weight, that the movements of the other person in the bed will not affect you. As coil spring mattresses do not adapt to your shape, they cannot spread your weight evenly. If you’re going to use your mattress with an adjustable bed, memory foam provides much more elasticity allowing you to benefit from the full range of motion an adjustable bed offers.

Another Difference Is Sensitivity to Temperature

One more distinction, between innerspring and memory foam mattresses, is that memory foam mattresses are able to react to different temperatures. The memory foam can define the various temperatures of your body and either remain firm or become soft . This gives you a great feeling of comfort when it absorbs the heat of your body and gets softer. Innerspring mattresses are unable to do this. They are unable to respond to your heat , and that is why someone, who is sick with a fever, would be much more comfortable on a memory foam mattress.

Plan a trip to your local mattress store to try and lie on the innerspring mattress vs. the memory foam mattress and watch the difference in comfort levels.
