There are four major mattress types: memory foam; hybrid; latex; and innerspring. If you've ever tried shopping for a mattress, whether online or in-store, then you will have come across these terms, but you still might not know exactly what they mean.
My expert guide should tell you everything you need to know about mattress types, from how they're made to what they cost, so that you can work out which bed meets your sleep needs. I've included commentary from mattress store managers, who know what customers want; medical professionals, who know the difference a good bed can make to our sleep quality; and fellow mattress testers, who have hands-on experience with all the best beds.
