Hi Leesee,

Welcome to the Mattress Forum! :slight_smile:

There is no one answer for what you are asking, as there are entirely too many variables involved, such as personal variables like somatotype, BMI, flexibility, strength, personal preferences, sensitivities, sleeping styles, physical issues…and then product variables such as componentry used, layer thickness, ILDs of layers, number and ordering of layers, material resilience and hysteresis, zoning, etc. A mattress can be made using springs or latex for the support core and offer both very good support and pressure point relief, and it really comes down to personal preference.

Post #28 speaks more to latex versus springs for a support unit. This post speaks more to the two basic functions of a mattress – support and comfort.
