The Best Mattresses for Light Sleepers

BY Jenica May 18, 2021

Not everyone is lucky enough to fall asleep as quickly as their head hits the pillow, and sometimes counting sheep just doesn’t do enough. If you get lost walking into a mattress store with all the different brands, here are a few small details to look out for if you’re a light sleeper:

Memory Foam

Do you have a pet that likes to jump on and off the bed in the middle of the night? Or maybe you have a partner that tosses and turns…either way, memory foam is a fantastic material for those looking for pure motion absorption. The foam will cradle around your body and deafen out extra noises. If you sleep on the hot side though, this may not be for you as memory foam is known to retain heat.

All Foam

Not as effective as memory foam, but a solid choice if you’re on a budget. Any foam material is going to add extra softness for a super deep slumber. 

Pocket Coil

Unlike a traditional coiled mattress, pocket coils are wrapped individually which help to absorb movement and help the mattress from sagging over time. Are you a firm mattress type of person? Choose a pocket coil mattress with thicker coils for a firmer bed. Want something on the softer side? Choose thinner coils!

Hybrid

Gel infused hybrid beds are generally the crowd favorite. Receive all the benefits of a memory foam mattress without the added heat! A lot of hybrid beds can have a foam base or coil base and generally cost a bit more, but a lot of these beds come with a lifetime warranty so you’re guaranteed a great night sleep for as long as you live. 

You generally can’t gauge how well you will like a bed from one quick test at the store. Do some homework before you go in so you know what you’re looking for.
