The bottom layer/s in a mattress are designed to provide support through ‘spinal alignment’, by bouncing back at the heavier parts of your body as they sink in. Latex and Springs are very good at this, as they both provide very good ‘bounceback’ resilience (the more pressure that is applied, the more they want to return to their original position). Good quality, high-resilience Polyfoams can do this fairly well for a period of time, although it is hard to know or test what quality of polyfoam is in a mattress. Memory Foam has very little resilience (it takes a long time to return to its original position), and so is never used in the support layers.
The top layer/s in a mattress are designed to provide comfort through ‘pressure relief’, by forming a ‘cradle’ that shapes to your body profile. Latex and Memory Foam are both very good at relieving pressure by moulding around your body. Softer Polyfoams can also do this, however, are one of the biggest reasons for mainstream mattresses softening over time and forming body impressions – severely reducing the ability of the mattress to mould and support you. Springs are never used in the comfort layers because as you can imagine, they wouldn’t be very comfortable.
We are big fans of the Mattress Underground for well-researched articles and forum posts on all types of mattresses. In particular, their guide on Finding the Perfect Mattress is a very good starting point to learn more about the different materials used in a mattress, and how they are usually assembled – as well as their overviews on Support Layers and Comfort Layers. We hope you find this useful!
