Premium Mattress Layers: Why each one matters

When you look at a mattress from the outside, they all look the same. But the difference lies in the internal layers. Let's dissect a premium mattress to understand why it costs what it costs.
1. The Core: The heart of the mattress
This is the layer that defines firmness and durability. The most common types are:
- Pocket springs: Each spring is in its own pocket, offering independence of movement. Ideal for couples.
- Natural latex: Exceptional elasticity and breathability. Hypoallergenic.
- HR (High Resilience): Open-cell foam with densities of 30-40 kg/m³. Good support at a mid-range price.
2. Comfort Layer: Adaptability
On top of the core go layers of memory foam, fibers or comfort foams. They are responsible for the "hug" feeling when you lie down.
3. Outer Fabric: The first barrier
A good fabric is not just beautiful. It can include:
- Anti-mite and antibacterial treatments
- Cooler Technology: Fibers that evacuate body heat
- Stretch: Elastic fabrics that do not limit adaptability
How to identify a quality mattress?
- Ask for the technical data sheet with densities and weights
- Check certifications (OEKO-TEX, CERTI-PUR)
- Test in store for at least 10 minutes
