There is a visual trend among many manufacturers to produce “fatter” or thicker mattresses to appear more plush and impressive. The appearance of a thick mattress may appear impressive but can be deceiving in terms of providing actual comfort and support. It is not unusual for mattress manufacturers to make their mattresses look extra plush by adding layers of oddball substances such as memory form, horse hair and even coconut husk. Thickness is often just a visual ploy designed to get people to think they’re buying a luxurious mattress when in actuality it could very well be questionable materials wrapped in a pretty quitted pattern. The rationale for sleeping on these anomalous materials for as long as 5 to 10 years is highly questionable. It is best to listen to your body and find the bed experience that feels the most comfortable. For an average person with weight between 60-80kg, a 20-24cm mattress should have achieved above average for overall satisfaction. Latex mattresses are generally heavier. Latex mattress is best known for its optimal support and comfort. More importantly, health-certified latex products do not contain harmful substances, produce toxic emissions and can last for many years.
