What are the Pros and Cons of a Memory Foam Mattress?

Memory foam mattresses are great at taking the shape of your body and providing the best pressure relief. They do feel totally different compared to a traditional coil mattress and this feeling may take some time to get used to.

Many memory foam mattresses feature a gel infused memory foam which helps to whisk away heat from your body and help you to sleep cooler at night. However, mattresses which are all foam tend to trap more heat compared to a coil mattress. There is simply not as much airflow and ventilation for heat to escape in a mattress that is all foam.

For most people this is not an issue because room temperature and your bedding have the largest impact on sleep temperature. However, if you are a very hot sleeper you may want to steer away from a mattress that is made entirely out of foam.
