All of them are made of some sort of memory foam and come rolled up inside a box. Except for Helix that is custom fit to your needs and has a small layer of micro coils in between the foam layers.
If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with memory foam?
- mieses 10y agoBy definition memory foam is a bad idea. It is a foam that does not spring back into it's original shape. Thus when you sleep in one place for a few weeks, a rut develops and eventually you feel like you are stuck in it. I like to be able to roll over and don't like the feeling of sleeping in a trough. Memory foam and mattresses that roll up into boxes is about lowering costs. Edit: I've always found "memory foam" to be an interesting demonstration of the power of marketing.
- tucaz 10y agoLot of people write good reviews about mattresses like these at Amazon. Some even after a couple of years after buying them report that no sagginess has occurred. But yes, I'm afraid of getting one for exactly that reason.
- mieses 10y agoIt may depend on the weight of the person writing the review.
- tucaz 10y agoSleep Like The Dead also reports that 80% [1] of owners of memory foam mattresses are satisfied with it against 64% [2] of inner spring mattresses. Still, a very tough decision.

- mieses 10y agoThat looks like a good site. I might go with their recommendation of a firm base mattress and a separate/replaceable comfort layer. I don't understand how people can report no sagginess when the point of memory foam is to change shape over time. Either it changes shape or it doesn't.
