By FurnishPrice · Updated 30 Oct 2026 · Prices checked on Amazon.in
Is latex or memory foam better?
Neither is better for everyone. Latex suits people who want a bouncier, more responsive feel that is easy to move and turn on; memory foam suits people who want deep, hugging pressure relief, which side sleepers often prefer. On Amazon.in today, a typical queen memory foam mattress costs ₹10,389 against ₹35,649 for latex.
