In my experience latex and innerspring mattresses have a similar resilience or bounce to them, compared to HD foam or memory foam. However latex is much more supportive because of the tightness of the cells of the latex foam compared to the 1 inch diameter steel springs. To speak comparatively , if you can imagine a latex mattress that is made of millions of miniature springs, it gives you a support that is much more precise because every single part of your body is getting support compare this kind of support to 1 inch diameter innersprings placed side by side. The latex is molding and contouring precisely to your body, while the innerspring mattress is simply compressing were you apply pressure most with your body
In my opinion latex is by far the finest support sleeping system available today.
Another important factor is the disturbance you get from sleeping on metal.

Why Your Metal Spring Mattress or Bed May be Dangerous
The vast majority of beds contain metal springs and/or frames. Unfortunately, these metal frames and metal springs can amplify and distort the earth’s natural magnetic field, which often leads to a poor sleep and a range of other symptons including - headaches, hyperactivity, depression and fatigue, eyestrain, muscle cramps and even nightmares.
Other biologicial problems associated with EMFs (electromagnetic fields) fall into two major categories: 1) the brain (behavioural abnormalities, learning disabilities, altered bio-cycles and stress responses), and 2) growing tissue (embryos, genetics and cancer). Research has shown that the body during sleep must be more alkaline, and that high EMFs lead to acidity. Acid chemistry in the body contributes to more disease.
The metal springs in all modern mattresses are coiled and these regularly arranged sets of coils can actually amplify the EMF in your bedroom and as well as distort the earth’s natural energy fields. There are two effects - one is having a magnetised set of coils in your bed and the other is to have the coils resonate to whatever equipment is radiating EMF around your room. The difference is that a magnetic field is generally due to a moving charge while an electric field is generally due to a charge with no net movement. Both impact on your body’s natural fields.
In my work as a Feng Shui and Earth Energy practitioner over the last 12 years I have encountered many problems with people’s sleeping positions and their beds. The worst is when a fuse box is located directly outside the bedroom near the bed. Then there is the location of a bed behind a wall where other EMF equipment is being used or when the bedroom is full of electrical gadgets. Your bed’s metal coils will respond to these fields and resonate with them thus setting up a disturbance pattern in your vital sleeping area. The length of a bed and coils is often in tune with the wavelength of radio frequency waves.
Metal coils resonate to EMF fields. They will create what’s called a ‘sympathetic’ resonate field and this field will impact on the body’s natural fields. With rooms of EM equipment and wiring in walls plus items like WiFi routers nearby, your body can be subject to a wide range of EM pressures at night.
The Chinese see all matter and phenomena as definable into Five Elements. They describe the makeup of life into Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. This is a cycle which repeats itself endlessly. Each element gives birth to the following one and continues the process of life. In the Five Element understanding too much of the next element can drain the one before. Your bedroom and bed comes under the element of Earth due to comforting, relaxing, supportive nature of sleep and the room. Bedclothes and mattresses made of natural materials also come under th element Earth. If your bed is run through with metal as inner springs or frames, then too much metal drains the Earth element and the function of your bed which is to relax, rest and support you. Metal in mattresses drains the body in Feng Shui terms and is not recommended by any practitioners.
Cheers!
