Let’s avoid technical bamboozling. Mattress density<\/em> means how tightly the stuff that makes up your mattress is compacted. So, mattress density is the density of the mattress matter. This is not the same as the \u2018hardness\u2019, although they are related.<\/p>\n

Density simply refers to the quantity of material occupying a space. For example, think of a bunch of newspapers standing in a pile. Now think of them all squashed down together. The same amount of papers, now take up less space. They\u2019ve been compacted. So, the squashed papers have a higher density.<\/p>\n

With a mattress, it\u2019s the same principle. Translate newspapers to the materials that make up your mattress. For example, foam.<\/p>\n

Hopefully that worked? Ok, good. . .\u00a0 So, foam rubber, what\u2019s that all about? Well, foam rubber is a mattress material made from latex, which is natural (like honey!) and comes from rubber trees. It ends up being called foam rubber<\/em> after a process that involves \u2018foaming\u2019 and some other things like heating, whipping and pouring into moulds.<\/p>\n
