When choosing a mattress, it is advisable to consider the mattress structure and the respective advantages and disadvantages. Spring core and cold foam mattresses are among the most popular options, as they meet different sleeping needs. But which mattress is better: cold foam or spring core?
Spring core or cold foam?
What is the difference between a mattress with cold foam or with an innerspring core?
Spring core
Spring core mattresses consist of steel springs, which are arranged differently depending on the type. With pocket spring cores, for example, the springs are individually sewn into fabric pockets.
Advantages:
- Good ventilation
- High stability and durability
Disadvantages:
- Low adaptability to the body
- Higher dead weight
- Less suitable for allergy sufferers
Cold foam
Cold foam mattresses consist of a foam that is characterized by high point elasticity. This property allows it to adapt precisely to the contours of the body and provides optimum support for the spine.
Advantages:
- Excellent adaptability to the body
- Good heat retention
- Lightweight
- Suitable for allergy sufferers
Disadvantages:
- Lower breathability
- More susceptible to mould formation in high humidity
- Odour formation in new mattresses due to vapors from the foam
Are innerspring mattresses or cold foam mattresses better?
Whether mattresses with a spring core or foam are better depends on individual sleeping needs and preferences. Spring mattresses are particularly suitable for people who sweat a lot or prefer a firm base due to their good ventilation and stability. Pocket spring mattresses in particular offer additional comfort thanks to their point elasticity and are also suitable for people with a higher body weight.
Cold foam mattresses, on the other hand, are characterized by their high adaptability to body contours and good heat retention. They are ideal for people who get cold easily or need extra support for their spine. They are also easy to handle due to their low weight and offer hygienic sleeping comfort for allergy sufferers.
Ultimately, the choice of a mattress with a foam or spring core depends on your personal sleeping habits.
