We recommend a platform, bed base, or flat surface to properly support your mattress throughout its lifespan. For example, you could use an adjustable bed base, etc.
We always recommend a mattress protector to shield your mattress from stains, insects, allergens, accidents, and more. You can also vacuum your mattress to keep it clean and dust-free. It's also a good idea to rotate your mattress (head-to-foot) each season.
The main differences between the three lie in the structure, support, feel, and ventilation. In short, memory foam conforms to the body, pocket springs offer more dynamic and cooler support, while the hybrid combines both for balanced comfort.
