Who Should Invest in a Coil Spring Mattress?
Vincent DeFazio • March 27, 2024
Every sleeper is different with varying firmness and temperature preferences. This diversity in sleep preferences means there isn’t a single best mattress overall, but there is a mattress that’s best for each person. People who typically prefer an InnerSpring mattress rather than a conventional foam mattress are:
- Those who sleep hot: Because InnerSpring mattresses are constructed with coils instead of a condensed cell texture, they have more breathability than conventional foam mattresses, creating a cooler sleeping surface for those who find themselves overheating in the middle of the night.
- Those who prefer a supportive sleeping surface: Some can find the sinking sensation of conventional foam mattresses unnerving or simply uncomfortable. The coils and cushioning in InnerSpring mattresses provide a resilient sleeping surface that supports your body. This responsiveness can have therapeutic benefits for sleepers with back aches, promoting proper spinal alignment and making it easier for them to move around in bed.
- Those who want to save money: Innerspring mattresses generally cost less than conventional foam mattresses. Budget-focused customers may prefer the lower prices of an InnerSpring mattress, especially if they shop at a factory-direct company like Twilight Bedding that doesn’t compromise quality for affordability.
Why Do Hotels Use Innerspring Mattresses Instead of Conventional Foam?
For all the aforementioned reasons – not the least of which is that hotels want to protect their bottom line and will often opt for the least expensive option. At the same time, their business depends on guests getting a good night’s sleep, which they are more likely to get on a cooler and sturdier sleeping surface.
InnerSpring mattresses appeal to a broader range of sleepers. In the U.S., more than half of adults report being too hot while they sleep, with cold sleepers being in the minority.
That said, sleepers who like a softer sleeping surface may find the benefits of a latex mattress invaluable, making the slightly higher cost more than worth it for some.
Who Should Invest in a Latex Mattress?
- Those who sleep light: Latex mattresses have better motion isolation, which can help light sleepers get a better night’s sleep next to a sleeping partner who’s constantly tossing and turning or getting up in the middle of the night. Not only do InnerSpring mattresses transfer more motion, but older mattresses can also sometimes produce noisy squeaks and groans when someone moves.
- Those with joint pain: InnerSpring mattresses can feel overly rigid for sleepers with joint issues. Latex mattresses offer a softer sleeping surface that may provide relief that helps reduce pressure on your body while you sleep.
- Those with allergies: Latex mattresses are made with organic latex that’s hypoallergenic, which can help those with allergies or those sensitive to allergens like dust and pet hair. Some of our competitors make their mattresses with synthetic latex or charge an exorbitant price for organic latex mattresses. At Twilight Bedding, all our latex mattresses are certified 100 percent natural, and at a lower price.
- Those who want a mattress that will last longer: Latex mattresses are durable. They have a longer lifespan than InnerSpring mattresses, performing optimally for an average of 20 years in comparison to their counterpart’s average five to 10-year lifespan.
- Those who want a highly customizable mattress: It’s easier to get an exact level of cushioning and firmness in a latex mattress than an InnerSpring mattress due to its rigid coil structure. At Twilight Bedding, we can customize your mattress’s firmness levels and other attributes to your preferences.

Sleep is a vital part of childhood growth, development, mood and academic performance. While it may seem convenient or cost-effective to pass down a used mattress from an older sibling or relative, the truth is that hand-me-down mattresses may do more harm than good for your child’s health and sleep quality. At Twilight Bedding, we know families are always looking for smart ways to save money, but cutting corners on your child’s sleep setup can lead to long-term consequences. Mattresses Break Down Over Time Even high-quality mattresses are not built to last forever. Over years of use, materials like foam, coils and padding begin to break down, losing their ability to provide proper support and alignment. An old mattress that has already conformed to someone else’s body is unlikely to offer the spinal support growing kids and teens need. Children and teenagers are constantly developing. Their spines, muscles and joints need a mattress that promotes healthy alignment and adapts to their growing bodies. A sagging or worn-out mattress can contribute to poor posture, disrupted sleep and even back pain in younger sleepers. Hygiene and Allergens Are a Real Concern Another key reason to skip the hand-me-down mattress? Hygiene. Older mattresses can harbor years of built-up dust, allergens, dead skin cells, sweat, bacteria and even mold, especially if they’ve been stored improperly. Young sleepers are more vulnerable to allergens and respiratory issues, which can be made worse by sleeping on a used mattress. If your child suffers from allergies or asthma, a secondhand bed could quietly be making things worse night after night. And while it may not be pleasant to think about, bed bugs or dust mites are also a risk with used mattresses, especially if they’ve changed hands or locations multiple times. Buying new helps you avoid all these potential health hazards. Lack of Support Affects More Than Just Sleep Sleep quality is just as important as the number of hours spent in bed. If a mattress doesn’t support your child properly, it can lead to tossing and turning, body aches and even a lack of deep, restorative sleep. This has a direct impact on: Mood and emotional regulation School performance and focus Physical development and immune function Behavior and energy levels Teens, in particular, are going through rapid physical and hormonal changes that require consistent, quality rest. Giving them a mattress that’s past its prime can hinder both their physical and emotional well-being. One Size Does Not Fit All Just because a mattress worked for one person doesn’t mean it will work for someone else. Factors like weight, sleep position and sensitivity vary significantly between individuals. Your growing child or teen may need something firmer, softer or cooler than the person who used the mattress before them. When you buy new, you can choose the right size (Twin XL, Full, etc.), firmness and materials that best support your child’s current stage of development and continues to serve them well for years to come. A New Mattress is an Investment in Their Future Think of a mattress like you would a pair of shoes. You wouldn’t hand down worn-out shoes and expect them to support someone through miles of running or walking. A mattress is no different. I's a foundation for healthy rest, which affects every part of your child’s life.
