Latex vs memory foam mattress – what's the difference and which will suit you best?

As I save up for a new mattress, I'm weighing up the pros and cons of latex vs memory foam mattresses. I sleep on memory foam at the moment: it's what I'm used to and I appreciate the cushioning comfort for pressure relief. Still, latex is so much more breathable and durable, and I want my new bed to see me through all four seasons and last as long as possible.

To the untrained eye, there isn't much difference between mattress types. Both latex and memory foam aim to strike the perfect balance between comfort and support to suit every sleeper. Without testing the beds in person, it's hard to work out which mattress best meets your sleep needs.
