What is the best filling for a mattress?

The key to a good night’s sleep is a good mattress. With so many different mattress options out there, you may not know where to start when looking for a new one. How many coils should it have? How much should you spend? What is the best filling for a mattress? 


While there is a lot of thought that goes into buying a mattress, we’re going to help you decide which mattress filling is best for you. This is a great place to start your search and narrow down the mattress options you have before you. 


First, let’s distinguish the two different types of mattress fillings: synthetic and natural. Each filling type has its own benefits for a good night’s sleep. It’s important to identify what you’re looking for in a mattress before deciding which mattress filling is best for you. 


With synthetic mattress filling, you will have manmade materials such as foam mattresses. These mattresses vary in comfort and support and take some time to break in as the materials mold to your body. 


Memory foam is one of the most recognized synthetic mattresses on the market. It is exceptionally responsive to your body’s shape and temperature. It will regulate the temperature depending on whether you’re hot or cool. 


Polyester is an entry-level synthetic that is an affordable option when buying a mattress. This material is long-lasting and boasts impressive recovery properties. 


Polyurethane mattresses offer consumers a good value for their money. Petroleum-based, this mattress is versatile and can vary in comfort and sustainability. 


With natural mattress filling, you will have organic material that is not manmade. This is an excellent option for people who struggle with allergies as natural mattress fillings are hypoallergenic. They also promote a more natural lifestyle and offer incredible comfort. 


Cotton is a common mattress filling typically found in the top layer of mattresses, above the springs. This material is breathable and will keep you cool throughout the night. 


Silk mattress filling is found in the most luxurious and high-end mattresses on the market. Spun by silkworms, silk filling offers a cool and fresh mattress while sleeping and ultimate comfort. You can expect to pay on the higher end for a mattress filled with silk. 


Cashmere and wool are two more natural mattress fillings that are comfortable, breathable, and moisture absorbing. These mattresses will keep you warm in the cold winter and cool in the hot summers. 


Latex is padding is the most durable probably the best mattress filling you can buy. The material comes from the rubber tree and offers a cool and comfortable night’s sleep. This mattress is durable and a heavier weight than other natural mattress fillings. Paired with a spring system, it will offer you one of the absolute best night’s sleep.
