Pocket spring natural mattresses vs memory foam

Are you looking for a new mattress? There is such a huge range of different mattresses to choose from, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Considering we spend so much time in bed, (around a third of our lives on average), it’s important to invest in a mattress that is going to give you the best possible night’s sleep.

Mattresses such as those made from memory foam are often a popular choice. However, these often contribute to common mattress problems. At Ely Mattress, we believe our natural mattresses are the very best. The pocket spring layers and natural materials that we use to make our mattresses contribute to a huge range of benefits. This can include helping with things such as temperature regulation, back problems, and your health.

We have spent over 40 years in the mattress industry, and during this time we have discovered the perfect solutions to issues that are common in mattresses, such as memory foam. In this article, we will talk you through some of these common memory foam issues, and compare these to the solutions of the Ely.

Harmful chemicals or vapours

Many mattresses such as those made from memory foam contain various vapours or chemicals. These can commonly include formaldehyde, benzenes and flame retardants to help keep your mattress fire safe and hold your mattress together. These chemicals and vapours can be unsafe for your health. Over time these harmful chemicals can be released from your mattress whilst you sleep. This means you can be breathing these in throughout the night. Some of these chemicals and vapours have been linked to various health issues, such as certain cancers.

With each of our mattresses being made using natural products and materials, you can sleep soundly on your Ely Mattress, knowing that no harmful chemicals or vapours were used.  Each of our mattresses are completely toxic free. Using these natural materials to make our mattresses means that you can guarantee that your health will not be at risk when choosing the Ely.

Back problems

A common opinion about memory foam mattresses is that they are often too soft. This can contribute to issues such as back problems, aches, and pains. This is because this softness can make it difficult to get in and out of bed, causing back problems over time.

At Ely mattresses, we have worked on this problem and designed our mattresses to have the perfect level of firmness. Our mattresses have been specifically developed to help keep your spine aligned whilst you sleep. The Ely is designed with our five-zoned pocket springs, which help contour to your body. This provides a weightless feel and maximum comfort, whilst still providing the best level of support to help you in and out of bed. Having a pressure-reliving mattress like the Ely at the right level of firmness will help you to achieve the best quality sleep.

Dust mites, mould, and mildew

Mattress materials like those made from memory foam provide the perfect moist and warm environment for mould, dust mites, and mildew. These nasties thrive in this sort of environment and can contribute to a range of health issues, including issues with your immune system. The heavily insulated environment of a memory foam mattress can struggle to rid the heat and moisture from your body each night and so isn’t the best choice if you’re hoping to limit the chance of these.

At Ely Mattress, the natural components to our pocket spring mattresses offer a cool dry environment. These include materials such as wool and horsehair. Each of these have the amazing ability to allow moisture to pass through your mattress. Without a moist, warm environment, nasties such as dust mites struggle to thrive. By choosing the Ely, you limit your chances of these unwanted visitors.

Temperature issues

Potentially the biggest and most noted issue with memory foam mattresses are their issues with temperature. This is due to memory foam having the inability to eradicate heat. This can cause various issues such as people overheating or feeling sweaty and uncomfortable throughout the night. When too hot, it is also really difficult to get to sleep. In fact, it is important to have a cool dark environment to give yourself the best possible chance of a good night’s sleep.

At Ely Mattress, we have worked hard to understand and eliminate this problem. We have developed our mattress layers carefully to allow your body to breathe. The natural materials we use such as horsehair are naturally great temperature regulators. This will support a nice cool environment to promote a good quality night’s sleep.
