The Latest Trends in Mattress Technology and Comfort

by Garner Appliance & Mattress

Remember when you were a kid, and you slept well every night, whether you were sleeping at home in your bed or on the basement floor at a friend's house? These days, you're probably much more selective about where you're willing to sleep, and yet you still wake up most mornings with neck and back pain that feels like you slept on the basement floor. If your mattress no longer provides the supportive and supple sleep surface your body needs, these new innovations in mattress technology are designed to help you achieve quality sleep for years to come.

Hybrid Mattresses

Hybrid mattresses combine the supportive coils found in traditional innerspring mattresses with layers of luscious foam to create a sleeping surface that's both cushioned and supportive. Here are some of the things people love most about hybrid mattresses:

  • Premium Support — Individual coils provide support and structure throughout the mattress.
  • Ultimate Comfort — Multiple layers of specially designed foam conform to your body's curves to improve comfort in any position.
  • Pain Relief — Dense coils in targeted areas provide extra hip and spine support while pressure-relieving gel foam eases painful tension.
  • Motion Isolation — Layers of energy-absorbing foam on top of metal coils minimize motion transfer, so you can sleep undisturbed throughout the night.
  • Body Positive Design — Supportive coils beneath the memory foam provide the necessary support so bodies of all shapes and sizes can enjoy the snuggly sensation of memory foam.

Cooling Technology

If you tend to sweat and overheat in your sleep, many new mattresses feature advanced cooling technology that was designed just for you. Look for mattresses with these cooling features if you're dreaming of crisp, cool sheets and sweat-free sleep:

  • Cooling Memory Foam — Specially designed foam conducts heat away from your body so you can keep your cool while sleeping on a foam or hybrid mattress.
  • Breathable Top Layers — Cooling, breathable fabrics on upper layers of innerspring, hybrid, and foam mattresses help you regulate your body temperature for better sleep.

Adjustable Foundations

If you want to enjoy a luxurious timed massage as you fall asleep every night, upgrade to an adjustable foundation. Thanks to advanced technology, modern adjustable foundations offer a comfortable experience that goes beyond just elevating your head and feet. Since you can pair most modern adjustable foundations with your existing bedroom furniture, you don't even have to worry about the new foundation cramping your style. For maximum comfort, look for models with the following features:

  • Timed Massage — Engage the foundation's timed massage feature to relax tight muscles as you fall asleep each night.
  • Ideal Positioning — When you push the Zero-Gravity button, your adjustable foundation will gently raise your head and feet to relieve painful pressure and help improve circulation.
  • Remote Adjustments — Activate massage, adjust mattress elevation, shift lumbar support, and turn on under-bed lighting via wireless remote control or through your connected smartphone.
  • Voice-Activated — Connect your adjustable foundation to a compatible smart home assistant, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, to change position, engage massage, turn on lights, or adjust lumbar support using voice-activated controls.
  • Convenient Charging Ports — Plug your phone, tablet, or e-reader into the built-in USB charging ports for easy access charging.
