A member asked:
Is there any additional benefit to sleeping on gel-infused memory foam versus regular memory foam mattress pads / pillows?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sleep on whatever allows you to get a good night's rest & wake up refreshed w/o any aches or pains. Same goes for hard vs soft mattress and for (thickness of) pillows. Makes no difference whether coils are individually wrapped or not. Or if cotton or wool or whatever. Don't buy into mattress ad hype.
