What makes a mattress good is its ability to give you a comfortable good night’s sleep. There is a wide variety of mattresses available in the market and choosing the right one seems very difficult to do. Important factors to consider are warranty, size, cost, reputation of the mattress maker, type, and firmness. Your mattress should be firm enough to properly support your weight and keep your spine aligned. Different people of different body types have different mattresses that they find most comfortable sleeping on. Here are some ideas on how to select a comfortable bed mattress:

1. Firm Mattress. It comes with no extra padding and has a flat top. Its firmness ranges from firm to medium-firm and it is recommended for people with chronic back pains.

2. Cushion Firm Mattress. It has a slight cushion at the top and is medium-firm. It is an inch thicker than a firm mattress.

3. Plush Mattress. It is the softest type of mattress without the addition of pillowtop padding. It has an extra layer of foam on top of the coils for extra comfort and plush.

4. Ultra Plush Mattress. It is thicker than a plush mattress with more layers of foam over the coils to make it plushier. It includes additional pillowtop padding.

5. Memory (Tempur-Pedic) Foam. It is made from polyurethane and can mould itself to the shape of a warm body. It reacts to climate. Cool temperatures make it firmer while warm temperatures make it softer. It is denser and provides more support than a standard mattress.

6. Pillowtop Mattress. It has an extra layer of padding on the top of the mattress to provide additional comfort. With a pillowtop mattress, there is no need for a pillow to cushion your head. It requires a deeper fitting sheet because it of its irregular shape and thickness.

7. Air Mattress. It is composed of air chambers instead of metal and springs. Its remote control can let you select the level of firmness that you want with just a touch of a button. The remote relays a message to the bed’s pump for adjustment purposes.

8. Organic Mattress. It is made from all-natural organic materials and is best for people prone to allergies. It claims to be comfortable, durable, and nontoxic.

9. Latex Mattress. It provides ample support and is hypo-allergenic because bacteria, mildew, and mold cannot survive in latex foam. It is more resistant to dust mites and bacteria than an ordinary mattress. This is a great option for people that react to so many allergens.

10. Futon. It is a cheap alternative for a mattress bed as it can fold up to serve as a couch that goes to say that it is space saving. It can come in a variety of materials: cotton, foam, latex, polyester, innersprings/coils.

11. Waterbed. It has water chambers inside the foam and mattress casing. It is recommended for people with allergies as it cannot contain mites and pollens. It is very comfortable and like the memory mattress, it can adjust to temperature.

12. Orthopedic Mattress. Ensures a good night’s sleep by having the ability to mould into the contours of the body. It can fill the gap under your lower back while supporting the rest of the body without deflecting. In more ways, it is similar to a memory mattress.
