Foam vs. memory foam-how do you tell them apart? Which one is right for you? It can be hard to know the answer.
Poly foam is known for its balanced feel and good cooling performance, compared to memory foam. While memory foam has deeper hug, contour, and a denser feel.
If you like sinking into your mattress or feeling that hug, memory foam is a great option. If you want to avoid the possibility of that "stuck" feeling, poly foam could be the better pick for you.
