Connecticut Mattress Stores Types – Innerspring Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses make up over 80% of all mattress sales. They are the most common mattress types and are distinguished from other mattresses by their coil core. On top of the core, different types of upholstery are used to give the mattress different levels of comfort.

Memory foam mattresses are becoming increasingly popular, mostly because of their comfort level. Made from a form fitting foam, these mattresses conform to your body shape, making it seem as though your body is ‘sinking’ into the mattress. They are great for reducing pressure points and for individuals with chronic pains.
Connecticut Mattress Stores Types – Latex Mattresses
Latex mattresses are similar to memory foam mattresses in that they offer the same amount of support and durability. The difference is that latex is cooler to sleep on and makes it easier to change positions while you sleep.
