What is the difference between foam and innerspring mattresses?
Innerspring mattresses are usually made using a core of steel coil springs, which are then covered in several layers to provide comfort. These layers may include netting/webbing, felt pad, foam and fabric.
A foam core mattress is typically made from a polyurethane foam core with a cover. Sometimes manufacturers will use varying grades of foam glued together to make up the core. It is much lighter than innerpring and can offer varying levels of support within the same mattress by utilising two or more different foam grades. This is the case with the DuoCore cot mattress, which has been engineered to achieve one side of the mattress to provide optimal support for a baby, and one side that is optimal for a toddler.
Innerspring mattresses are typically quite firm due to their steel spring unit, which may not be the most comfortable for your baby. With a foam core, providing the right foam grades are used, it is possible to achieve a better balance of firmness, comfort and support.
When it comes to foam, quality matters. If you are looking for a particularly low-price mattress, it is better to purchase a cheap innerspring mattress than a cheap foam core mattress. However, if you really want the best for your baby, a good quality foam mattress with the features such as a ventilated core, reinforced sides, as well as both baby and toddler sides, is better than an innerspring mattress.
