| Memory Foam | Dense foam that moulds to the body's shape and slowly returns to its original form. Reduces motion transfer. |
| Latex | A naturally resilient, bouncy feel that responds instantly when pressure is removed. |
| Hybrid | Combines a pocket spring core with foam or latex comfort layers on top. |
| Gel | A foam or hybrid mattress incorporating a layer of gel designed to draw heat away from the body and regulate temperature. |

How firm should a mattress be?
Mattress firmness should be matched to your sleeping position. Side sleepers generally benefit from a softer to medium firmness, as this allows the mattress to cushion the shoulders and hips and keep the spine aligned. Back sleepers tend to do best on a medium to firm mattress that supports the natural curve of the lower back. Front sleepers usually need a firmer surface to prevent the hips from sinking too deeply.
Should I turn or rotate my mattress?
Yes. regularly turning and rotating your mattress is one of the best ways to extend its lifespan and maintain even support. Regular rotation prevents body impressions from forming in the same spots, and distributes wear more evenly across the mattress.
