Latex foam’s density is variable. Based on your personal requirement, you can choose it to be softer, bouncier or firmer to ensure maximum support. These mattresses are most commonly used in hotels and orthopaedic requirements. The only flip side of this mattress is that it can be on the costly side of the budget.
 

Innerspring Mattress
Standard inner spring mattresses are made using a steel coil support system. They use springs that are connected to a single unit. More the number of springs, better the quality of your sleep will be. Though there have been great advancements in the making of mattresses, these innerspring mattresses are still very popular mainly because they are incredibly pocket friendly in comparison to others. However these mattresses tend to wear out faster and you might need to replace them more frequently. This is not advisable for those with back pains.
 

Pocket Spring Mattress
Pocket spring mattresses are innerspring mattresses with a contouring support function. They have individually isolated innerspring coils that are wrapped in a durable fibre pocket. They give excellent support unlike the innerspring mattresses especially for overweight and older people. Depending on the coil count, they can offer great levels of comfort and support. These are used in orthopaedic mattresses as well as they can offer excellent support and also can absorb pressure. 

Hybrid Mattress

Hybrid mattresses have a traditional sleep shape where it gives a bit of bounciness along with the comfort that memory foam offers. Your bed also gets the hypoallergenic benefits as these are topped with foam. However these can become very expensive on the pocket.
 

Dual Comfort Mattress
Unlike hybrid mattresses, dual comfort mattresses needn’t always use innerspring. They are more commonly known for their multipurpose nature with one side softer than the other. Different combinations are possible. You can combine the foam one side with natural fibre coir on the other side. In summer months the coir side will keep you cool while in other months the foam will keep you warm. These are long-term mattresses. These may not give the level of plushness that memory foam or latex gives. However, these can be a very good option for those who have medical conditions.
 

PU Foam Mattress

The cell pore size in PU foam is more expansive than in memory foam which helps it control and regulate temperature better. Most importantly this is a lot more affordable and suitable for Indian climate. It is also light weight and hence works as an excellent option for hybrid mattresses in the comfort layer.
