Support Differences
High-density foam provides firm, consistent support and strong spinal alignment. Memory foam adapts to body shape but may retain heat and soften over time.

Density Standards
- Standard Foam: 24–28 kg/m³
- High-Density Foam: 30–40 kg/m³
- Premium Memory Foam: 40–60 kg/m³
Higher density equals longer durability and better structural support.

Lifespan Comparison
High-density foam mattresses typically last 7–10 years. Memory foam averages 6–8 years depending on density and usage.

Research-Based Performance
High-density foam maintains structural integrity longer, while memory foam offers pressure relief advantages for side sleepers.
