Compare constructions · 2026
Construction defines the feel before brand or firmness does. All-foam contours and isolates motion; hybrids combine foam comfort with coil support and edge stability. Pick the construction, then the model. (Pure innerspring is a niche market in 2026 and is folded into hybrid where it appears.)
