Matching the best mattress to your needs can depend on a lot of different factors. You may be a back sleeper, a side sleeper or a stomach sleeper. Some people sleep hot or live in a warmer climate, so breathability becomes an issue. Others have a restless partner and look for the mattress is that isolates motion well. Durability and costs are also considerations.
Here are some pros and cons of popular mattress types to help you make your selection.
Innerspring Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses, also called coil mattresses, were invented back in the 1800s and today are the most popular mattress type. Innerspring mattresses are made with coil systems as the supporting core. The coils are made of steel and they are typically reinforced with layers of high-density foam ranging from 1-3 inches.
The Pros and Cons
An innerspring mattress works well if you are a back or stomach sleeper, because of the support for the torso and hips. Side sleepers may find that innersprings need sufficient cushioning so the mattress will conform well to their bodies. A strong pro of an innerspring mattress is breathability that promotes a strong airflow and regulates the bed's temperature to keep you cool when you sleep. However, you may notice when your partner changes position or gets in or out of bed.

The memory foam mattress was developed by NASA engineers in the heyday of the space era of the 1960s. Memory foam mattresses are thought to be the best type for people with back pain. The mattress will contour to your body and support your spine well cushioning heavier areas. Memory foam mattresses may include transitional layers of foam as well as base layers of higher density polyfoam.

Memory foam mattresses tend to sleep hot, although some manufacturers include cooling components like gel beads, copper or bamboo. Memory foam mattresses offer pressure relief and good support.

Latex
A latex mattress is a good option if you what somebody contouring, but you do not like the deep sensation of memory foam. If you are a side sleeper, you are likely to feel more comfortable on a softer latex mattress that will conform to your body. If you are a back or stomach sleeper, you may prefer a firmer latex mattress that provides stronger support.
The Pros and Cons
A strong pro of a latex mattress is its exceptional durability so you can expect a long life span. The latex material, derived from the rubber tree plant, is cooler than memory foam, and some manufacturers ventilate the layers with holes to increase the airflow. However, a latex mattress may offer weak edge support and limited motion isolation.
