Latex Matress Softness

I’m considering buying a new mattress.

Does the softness of your latex or organic latex compare to the softness of a memory gel foam plush mattress?

Hi ConnieMR,

Latex and memory foam are completely different materials that really aren’t comparable to each other. There is more about how latex and memory foam compare and the pros and cons of each of them in post #2 here.

I would keep in mind that both memory foam and latex mattresses come in a wide range of firmness levels so a specific model of a latex mattress may be either softer or firmer than a specific model of a memory foam mattress depending on the specifics of the design and the materials in each of them.

If you are looking for a new mattress then the first place to start your research is the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
