Memory Foam Mattress Weight Compared to Other Types of Mattresses

memory Foam Vs Latex

The weight of a mattress depends on a lot of factors including the mattress size (king-sized, queen size, etcetera), mattress type, and others. For a memory foam and latex mattress of the same size, the latex mattress will be heavier because latex is the heaviest material used to make mattresses. latex is very durable and supportive, and they are of two types, Dunlop and Talalay. 

Talalay is lighter than Dunlop which makes Dunlop bed the heaviest bed you could get. 

Although latex mattress is said to be heavier than memory foam mattress, some memory foams have cooling gels added, the gels can make them weigh similar to the latex mattress. 

memory Foam Vs Air mattress

An air mattress is an expandable mattress made of polyvinyl chloride reinforced by rubber. when deflated, it becomes portable and can be easily stored or carried in a small form. It comes with a valve ( either a manual or electric pump) that is used to inflate it. It is suitable for when on a journey or when you have visitors without enough room to accommodate all of them. 

Air mattresses are usually lightweight so that when deflated, they can be stored and carried around easily, which makes them significantly lighter than memory foam. 

memory Foam Vs Innerspring 

An innerspring mattress is a thin and easy-to-move mattress because it has a slim pillow top layer and a metal wire system combined with springs to create a support frame covered in fabric, the structure provides a great airflow throughout the sleep surface. The innerspring mattress is lightweight, compared to memory foam.
