An open coil mattress features a simple construction of springs inside. These springs are connected, which is fine for single sleepers, but may cause disruption to partners if one of you tends to toss and turn a lot. Open coil mattresses do tend to be a cheaper option, so might be a good choice for your spare bedroom.
A pocket sprung mattress has springs which are sewn into their own pockets. This allows the springs to work independently of one another and reduce the impact of movement that’s felt throughout the mattress. A good choice for couples, but perhaps not for those with joint pains who required more targeted support.
A memory foam mattress replaces the traditional spring interior with layers of foam, which is designed to mould itself to fit the unique shape of your body. Some people find that foam makes them overheat, while others love the unique cushioning feel of it. Foam mattresses work best when they’re warm, so may not be suitable for bedrooms kept on the cooler side..
A hybrid mattress incorporates a combination of fillings, for example a spring base topped with foam and finished with a cooling gel layer. These mattresses allow you to get the best of both worlds and more, so if you haven’t found your perfect match in a spring or foam mattress then a hybrid could be the one you’ve been waiting for.

If you generally sleep on your side, a soft mattress is best as it will be gentler on your hips and shoulders, particularly if you suffer from joint pain.
A front sleeper would benefit from a firm mattress, so the hips are supported and the body doesn’t sink in so far as to cause incorrect spinal alignment.
Someone who prefers to sleep on their back should look for a medium firm mattress, which offers enough give to be comfortable, but still supports the spine properly.
