What is the Best Density for a Foam Mattress?

When you’re planning to buy a new mattress for your bed, the first question that crosses your mind is, what is the best density for a foam mattress? But what’s the difference between the different densities of mattresses? Do they affect the comfort level, improve support, and the quality of your sleep?

This guide has all the answers to your questions. So, without any further delay, let’s find out how the density of a foam mattress affects your sleep. And what factors you should consider and expect when buying different mattresses in regards to their density.

What Should Be the Density of a Mattress?

The density of mattresses is classified into three main categories, which may help you decide which one fits your needs. Let’s find out more about them.

Low-Density Foam

Low-density foam mattresses are lightweight and soft, therefore they’re cheaper. They wear out faster because they have less material in them. This kind of foam is good for guest rooms or rooms where the mattress isn’t being used daily. It is also good for children, as their lighter weight will not wear it out as fast compared to adults. If you’re looking for such a mattress that would do the job but also save you some money then low-density foams are a great option for you.

Medium-Density Foam

This medium-density foam mattress serves as the perfect balance between support and comfort. The material molds to your body contours, taking the pressure off the joints without letting you sink into their depth. They are tougher than the low-density type and hence best for serving everyday sleep.

This is the most opted-for class of people who want a soft but supportive mattress that would last longer than an average one. It can easily last for 7-8 years.

Mehran Foam’s Esquire Pillow Top Mattress is a great example of medium-density foam as It features soft and breathable knitted fabric on the inside and plush comfort with spinal alignment on the outside. If you’re looking for a truly luxurious sleep alongside medium-density support, this is just a great choice for you in Pakistan.

High-Density Foam

High-density foam mattresses are just built to last, providing great support for those who need it-mostly people with back pain or heavier sleepers. These mattresses have gotten firmer and more resistant to wear, so they retain their shape over the years. On the other hand, however, to some people-especially at the beginning-these can be too firm.

Invest in high-density foam for years of unparalleled comfort and durability. The Mehran Esquire Spring Mattress provides you with a perfect balance between the strength of high-density foam and spring support for firm support without compromising on comfort.
