The three most popular types of mattresses for 2018 are innerspring, foam and adjustable air.  The best advice is to try them out! Lay down in the store for long enough to get a good sense of how they conform to your body.   Half of the mattresses sold in the US are innerspring, and many manufacturers now offer hybrid version incorporating layers of foam or gel.  Innerspring are often a great option for those who sleep on their sides.  Memory foam mattresses account for 19% of sales; prized for isolating movement well and the support they offer.   Adjustable air allows custom firmness on each side of the bed, and those with back or neck pain or arthritis often find these the most comfortable.  QuickZip has customers using all three of these mattress, and our specially designed bases stretch to fit and grip the corners  for comfort regardless of your choice.
