Memory Foam Mattress Vs Latex Foam Mattress

“No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap.” -Carrie Snow. This is true for almost every one of us. Sleeping is the best form of rejuvenation that anyone can get after a hard day's work. Not everyone is lucky enough to get a good sleep. It is not the quantity of sleep but the quality of sleep that really matters. No matter whether you sleep for 4 hours or 6 hours, a good sleep is one when you are sleeping like dead. Have you ever ended getting up late on your examination day or you dozed off in the examination hall when all of your friends were busy banging their head? There are various factors that affect your sleep and one of them is the mattress. Mattresses play a critical part in deciding whether we get a comfortable sleep or not. So it's important to choose the mattress wisely. Memory foam mattress and latex foam mattress are two popular varieties of mattresses available in the market.

Memory foam is also referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. It is usually denser than other foam mattresses and hence more supportive.  It offers a good balance between the comfort of a soft mattress and the solidness of a firm one. Latex foam mattresses are made of latex - a naturally derived biodegradable product. Latex is hypo-allergenic, and breathes to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Latex foam is up to three times more resistant to dust mites and bacteria than ordinary mattresses.

Pros & Cons Of Latex Foam Mattress & Memory Foam Mattress
 
Softness
Memory foam mattresses are softer by nature and more pliable than latex mattresses. They spread away the entire pressure that is laid upon the mattress making them more comfortable by reducing the tossing and turning in human beings.

Temperature
Memory foam mattresses are temperature reactive. In other words, it will become softer when you lay on it and your body temperature starts to warm it up. The reverse is also true that is when the memory material gets cold, it will become quite firm. However, latex foam mattresses are temperature sensitive and it gives an opposite effect as compared to the memory foam mattress.

Durability & Cost
Latex foam mattress lasts for a longer period than memory foam mattress. They are almost indestructible and last for a lifetime under normal circumstances. But a memory foam mattress is cheaper as compared to a latex foam mattress.

Motion Isolation
A bed with good motion isolation will prevent movement made by one person to transfer to and disturb the sleep of the person sleeping on the same bed. Motion isolation is a very important factor if the bed is shared. Both of the mattresses are quite effective in keeping the motion transfer to a minimum.

Environment - Friendly
Since latex foam mattress is made out of, natural rubber latex, it is biodegradable and more eco friendly than memory foam mattress, which is artificially made. Since latex is hypo allergic and anti bacterial, it won’t be affected with dust mites, fungus, mold etc. and you can stay away from allergies.
