For many, restless nights and low-quality sleep can feel like a never-ending nightmare. If you find yourself waking up feeling less than refreshed, your mattress could be the issue. Often, we don’t realize how much the quality of our mattress affects our overall sleep health and quality.
Choosing the correct type of mattress for your body needs can make all the difference, and for those struggling with sleep, upgrading to a foam mattress from The Foam King might be just what you need. Let’s look at why foam mattresses have become so popular in recent years and the unique benefits they offer over traditional coil spring options that can help you rest better.
Foam vs. Traditional Coil Spring Mattresses: Key Differences
- Support and Pressure Relief- Foam mattresses are designed to mold to your body shape, distributing weight evenly and reducing pressure on sensitive areas like the shoulders, hips, and lower back. By comparison, coil spring mattresses can feel rigid, with their structure actually creating pressure points that disrupt your sleep. With foam, you’ll enjoy a supportive, consistent resting pressure that helps ease discomfort and improves your sleep posture.
- Motion Isolation- If you share your bed with a partner, pets, or kids (or all three), you know how disruptive their movements can be. Luckily, foam mattresses excel at isolating motion, meaning you’re less likely to feel every toss, turn, or shift. Coil mattresses, on the other hand, transfer motion easily, so you end up feeling the slightest movement. By switching to a foam mattress, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted sleep, even if you share your bed with an active sleeper.
- Durability and Longevity- Quality foam mattresses are made to last, and The Foam King makes some of the highest quality in the industry. Unlike a traditional coil mattress, which loses shape and sags over time, a foam mattress will retain its structural integrity longer. For comparison, most coil mattresses are only good for 7-10 years, while a foam option typically lasts for 20-30. This durability ensures you get lasting support while saving money in the long run.
- Hypoallergenic Qualities- Foam mattresses are naturally resistant to allergens like dust mites, mold, and dander, making them ideal for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Coil mattresses contain more nooks and crannies where allergens can accumulate, and studies show that over its lifetime, a coil mattress will weigh 20lbs more from the dead skin, dust, and mites it holds on to… now THAT’S the stuff of nightmares! Switching to a hypoallergenic foam option from The Foam King, meanwhile, can support your respiratory health, improve the air quality in your sleeping quarters, and ultimately reduce any allergy symptoms.
- Temperature Control Options- While traditional coil mattresses offer decent airflow, most foam mattresses have been engineered with temperature-regulating technology to help offset the foam's density (and how well it holds heat). Certain types of foam, like The Foam King’s gel-infused memory foam, help dissipate heat to keep you cool throughout the night. If you tend to run hot and wake up sweaty, choosing the right foam mattress with cooling features can make a noticeable difference in your comfort level and even help you sleep through the night.
- Noise Reduction- One of the best features that foam mattresses offer is their noise-free performance. With no springs to creak or squeak, foam mattresses are silent, making them ideal for light or fretful sleepers. Coil spring mattresses, by comparison, often become noisy over time as their coil integrity degrades, which might wake you up with every movement. The Foam King has designed our mattresses to help create a more peaceful sleep environment to ensure you get the most restful sleep possible every night!
- Conforming Comfort- Foam mattresses are able to adapt to your highly individual body contours, offering a “hugging” sensation that provides superior comfort and support. This customized fit alleviates body aches and improves posture and circulation to help you wake up feeling rejuvenated. Meanwhile, coil mattresses are typically much firmer and are unable to offer the same level of personalized, adaptable comfort that you should expect from a foam option.
- Reduced Sagging- Over time, coil mattresses begin to sag in the areas where your body weight rests most, meaning you end up with uneven support- right where your body needs it most! A foam mattress is less likely to sag, enabling it to maintain its shape and support capabilities for a longer period. This makes The Foam King’s mattresses an ideal investment for people who want a mattress that supports daily use without experiencing high degradation rates.
- Improved Alignment- Foam mattresses promote better spinal alignment by contouring to your body’s natural shape, which is especially helpful for those with chronic back pain or posture-related issues. Coil spring mattresses typically lack this adaptability and may not offer the same level of alignment support, leaving you to wake up stiff or sore in the mornings. At The Foam King, we know that starting your day well-rested and pain-free is often the difference between a good day and a Terrible, Awful, No Good, Very Bad day!
- Eco-Friendly Options- Many foam mattresses, including latex foam, are made from biodegradable, eco-friendly, and sustainably sourced materials. For environmentally-conscious shoppers, latex foam is a green option that doesn’t sacrifice comfort or durability. Traditional coil mattresses, on the other hand, are rarely made of sustainable or ethically sourced materials and may have a larger environmental impact, from their “created from petrochemicals” start all the way through to their “can only go in a landfill” ending.
