| Motion isolation | 5 owners |
Glossary
Comfortable
No S&F model tends to do better or worse on this issue overall.
Less pain
Less pain mainly refers to reduced back, hip and shoulder pain. Models that have memory foam and / or latex either in pillow top or non-pillow top form tend to perform well on this issue.
Motion isolation
This means that the mattress absorbs movement from one person so that the other person does not notice it. This is likely due to S&F's use of memory foam and / or latex whose properties absorb motion.
