When you're buying a bed, it's just as important to work out which mattress materials you don't like, as well as the ones you do. Now that I've sampled more than 40 mattresses, I know that I prefer the solid support of a hybrid mattress to the sinking feeling of memory foam, which is the worst mattress material for stomach sleepers like me. I know to steer clear of memory foam models in the mattress store and it's really streamlined my shopping experience.
Still, every sleeper is different, and the worst mattress material for me might sound like your dream bed. Memory foam isn't the most breathable or durable mattress material on the market, but it makes the best motion isolator, ideal for hot sleepers, and it provides near-perfect pressure relief for anyone who suffers with chronic pain.
