The different types
Have you got lost in the jungle of types, models, and prices of mattresses? Then this guide is for you. We present the advantages and disadvantages of the most common mattresses and different models available on the market.
Spring mattress: breathable
The simple spring mattresses (or Bowell) are traditional mattresses, often used in hotels, and are perfect for light people or who do not move much at night: the steel springs, in fact, can "squeak" due to the heavyweight or movements. Pocket spring mattresses have a more complex processing: they support the body more with respect to the Bowell, but they are heavier.
Those who choose spring mattresses appreciate the good heat transfer and transpiration capacity. If you tend to sweat at night, these models are for you.
The vast world of foam mattresses
Do you want to buy a foam mattress? This type presents the widest range of models and prices. A simple model can cost only 100 francs and often the feeling is more soft and flexible than spring mattresses.
Memory Foam: very common
The cold foam mattresses, often proposed in the seven-zone type, support the body well, especially in the shoulders and pelvis. As for the quality/price ratio, this is the most economical type. Because it accumulates heat, the Memory Foam is not suitable for people who sweat a lot at night, while it is appreciated by the friskiest.
The animalist trend: vegan mattresses
Many Swiss choose not to buy products of animal origin: not only food but also clothes and objects, e.g. for the bed. They thus choose mattresses produced without materials of animal origin, for example, latex or vegetable fibers such as hemp or coconut.
Luxurious: the latex mattress
The natural latex mattresses adapt particularly well to the body. They are also perfect for allergy sufferers and very durable. A small disadvantage is given by the considerable weight and therefore by the difficulty of regularly turning the mattress. For this reason, there are also partially or totally synthetic latex mattresses that weigh much less than those made of natural latex and offer a similar level of comfort.
Often natural mattresses
In addition to the latex ones there are other natural mattresses containing for example horsehair, sheep's wool or straw, sometimes in combination with latex. Customers who choose these mattresses appreciate not only comfort but also the absence of synthetic or chemical substances such as industrial glues. However, these mattresses are not suitable for allergy sufferers, as mites can easily proliferate in natural materials.
Airy: the mattress with air chambers
This mattress contains two large air chambers. It is perfect for those who want to adjust the degree of hardness simply by pressing a button. However, this type of mattress is less breathable and can easily accumulate moisture.
The comfortable Box-spring beds
Box spring beds do not have slatted frames. The bed base consists of a massive spring structure - often a spring mattress - on which another mattress is placed. If necessary, add a soft and thin mattress («topper») on top. Being made up of several layers, Box spring beds are often higher and thus facilitate access for older people. But they are quite expensive: up to several thousand francs.
