What is the difference between this "inner Spring" mattress and the "foam" mattress besides the slight price difference?

We bought the foam mattress and returned it. It was loud! We spent the few extra bucks and bought the inner spring mattress and our baby sleeps in it with no problems.

I agree with Peggy's answer also. I bought the Inner Spring mattress for use when our grandson visits. He sleeps very well on it. It is also used (with our pack n play) whenever he is sleeping away from home. I would spend the slight price difference and purchase the inner spring mattress. However, either mattress is a huge improvement over sleeping on the thin pad that comes with a pack n play! (Wish I had discovered it sooner!)

The foam mattress does not have springs enclosed while the Inner Spring mattress has actually springs embedded in between the layers of cotton or padding. The Inner Spring mattress seems to be more comfortable or at least my grandchildren seem to sleep better on it, maybe because it is more like their bed mattress at home.

mine has been great and such a joy re sleep and comfort. it appears and seems to be 4 inch of gel foam to me and all the same stuff by the looks and feel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for comfort and sleep. fits well with the mattress that I have and will spread out the usefulness for quite awhile I think. good luck with you decision and for me, I would recommend it.

This mattress is neither. When people talk about a "foam" mattress, they generally mean polyurethane foam or soy foam (which is basically polyurethane foam) or memory foam (which is also basically polyurethane foam). Then, when they talk about an "innerspring" they're, of course, talking about steel springs. Steel innersprings don't have the chemical issues that come with polyurethane foam, but they are heavier mattresses and many people need something more lightweight so that it's easier to lift and change the sheets, etc. Lullaby Earth solved this dilemma by using food-grade polyethylene (not polyurethane) to make the support core. Food-grade polyethylene meets the FDA standards for food contact. It's favored by all the environmental groups. This design provides a safer baby mattress and still is lightweight and easy to lift. As well, this design doesn't have the high flammability of polyurethane foam, and no chemical flame barriers or chemical flame retardants are necessary in order to meet the government flammability standards. As a side point, Lullaby Earth is also free of other materials commonly used in baby mattresses, like vinyl, phthalates, antimony, perfluorinated chemicals, pesticides, GMOs, etc. "

It is on the firmer side. But having said that, it is still a memory foam mattress. As such it stil conforms. It's a very comfortable mattress. I would buy it again.

I also have a true tempurpedic at home and we spent close to $3000 on it. We bought a second home last fall and purchased the sleep innovations foam mattress for that house. I honestly prefer the sleep innovations mattress. We also have had guests stay there and have asked about the mattress and gone on to purchase one themselves. I will say that the sleep innovations is more firm than the tempurpedic so you must like a very firm mattress.

There is a difference in the sides, but my regret about this mattress is that being both firm and coated in plastic makes it not very cozy. In hindsight I would have purchased the quilted Naturepedic mattress and then used my American Baby Company Organic Waterproof Quilted Crib and Toddler Pad Cover, because that cover works great to keep the mattress dry and then you wouldn't have to have the uncomfortable plastic.

The amazing difference is that there isn't pressure points I bought this bbe a few months ago compared to my old spring and my fiancé and I are sleeping better and I have a very bad back and it's not bothering me as much now it's such a difference I am in love with my mattress u are supposed to let it rise for 2 days before using I just used it lol but the second night it firmed up wonderfully

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

I've never actually owned a foam mattress before, so it's hard for me to say, but I would assume it's more like a classic type foam. Sorry I can't be more helpful, maybe someone else can shed more light on it.

I don't use any kind of foundation or box spring with my mattress. My bed frame has a set of wooden slats spaced about one inch apart and it has worked perfectly. Foam mattresses generally are much lighter in weight and considerably denser than standard mattresses. The density means that they are less likely to sag or bend out of shape than an innerspring mattress.

I guess the best answer I can give for this is that regular memory foam feels "dryer" or "crisper" to me. It's still squishy, but you don't sink into the bed as much and it has a little bit more resistance. This gel infused one feels more dense and that makes it more squishy for some reason. I like it much better than the regular memory foam.

The foam mattress will transfer less movement/motion. It is superior to isolating movement to a localized area than a conventional spring based bend. The plush Lucid model may be even less responsive to movement and localize motion into one specific area than a firmer Lucid model because it is more likely to change shape due to external forces.

I think it's really close to the Rhapsody. When I touch the mattress, I think "dang, that's hard", but once you lay on it and it conforms to you, it doesn't seem hard at all. I would call it Med/Firm. I have it on a platform, no box springs. I also haven't noticed it being too warm, which was something I had read about the foam before buying mine. I was also lucky enough to not have any issues with outgassing of chemical odors. I LOVE this bed.

None- they are the same. You can buy thicker pieces of memory foam which I find more comfortable!

I bought at the same time the Best Price Mattress new innovated box spring platform, metal bed frame/ foundation, for 239$ and it is now 115.99 on amazon and it works great. I hope this answers your question.
