>referring to those modern foam mattresses

I mean, I was referring to cheap mattresses winning prices, this year it's a pocket spring + foam mattress called myNap TFK for 300€(Stiftung Warentest Matratzentest 2023)

>foam mattresses which are made of horrid manmade materials >Lord knows what you’re breathing in

Any science supporting that? Anything beeing man made is not an argument

Apart from that, testing for harmful chemicals included in the test report, and did not find a whole lot

>are too hot.

It is a tradeoff, some people like it, some don't...

>Wonder why the hospitality industry favours pocket sprung too… >Was like sleeping on a cloud

To soft seams to be bad for you, to hard too.

I personally hate soft mattresses (and hotels for that reason) they are great for a night or two

But hotels are actually a good data point.

I would be interested to find some study's about it and would have thought manufacturers would plaster them all over there (expensive) products, but dead silence...

>very high end manufacturers use natural materials and pocket springs

I mean, they have to tell you something to justify the higher price. I would be more impressed if they could point to some data and say we have less from xx in the air and that's known bad for you.
