Hey sleepfoundation.org People,
I’m in the middle of mattress shopping right now and I’m more confused than ever. I’ve mostly slept on traditional spring beds, but after 9+ years mine is sagging badly. I tried a few memory foam models in a store, and while they felt nice at first, I’m worried about them getting too hot at night.
Then I came across a few people recommending latex options. Some even suggested an organic latex mattress since it’s supposed to be cooler and more durable. I don’t know much about it though — is it really that different from standard foam, or just marketing?
I mostly sleep on my side, sometimes on my back. My budget is mid-range (not super luxury, but not entry level either). I’d love to hear what worked for you — especially if anyone has made the switch from memory foam to latex.
Thanks in advance!
