Last but not least, My 5 year old son is having a lovely practice of jumping in the mattress, when he watches his favorite Barney in the bedroom TV.

I will like foam mattress. But it will be "hotter" as it tend to trap heat. But suppose to be better for health.

Latex is a form of natural rubber from the rubber tree. Normaly at the high end matress, you see spring pocket and on top 2 inchs or 3 inchs soft topping. That is Latex.

It makes your bed comfortable and not so hard ah. The thicker it is the more explensive it is. I

Understood.

So these are on Foam mattress side...

Any comments on Pocketed spring mattress ? If the number of springs are more in the mattress, it's more comfy due to dense structure. Anything else ?

Hi raincole, you mentioned that memory foam traps heat. I read from the internet that the heat is supposed to help the memory foam take the contour of the body. How serious is the heat problem? Considering we live in Singapore and there are times when we prefer not to have the aircon on, will we wake up with perspiration all over?
