    Questions and answers

    Which is better for a kid's room or bunk bed?
    The Mainstays 6 in Twin. Its 6 in height fits bunk and trundle frames, it is firm, and it is rated for children. The Avenco only comes in King and California King.
    Which lasts longer?
    The Avenco should hold up longer for adults. Its 12 in pocketed-coil build with a memory foam pillow top has more material than the Mainstays' 6 in innerspring and gel foam, which is built for light use in guest and dorm rooms.
    Is the Avenco worth the extra money?
    There is no extra to pay at recent prices. The Avenco's low was $84.88 and the Mainstays is $88.88, but the Avenco has climbed to $118.00, so check the current price before deciding.
    Which is better for side sleepers?
    The Avenco. Its medium-firm memory foam pillow top cushions shoulders and hips. The Mainstays is firm and aimed at lightweight sleepers, which many side sleepers find too hard.
    Do either need a box spring?
    Neither includes a foundation. The Avenco works on various bed frames. The Mainstays works on platform frames or a traditional box spring.
    Which has the better ratings?
    The Mainstays: 4.2 out of 5 from 9,310 ratings versus 3.9 out of 5 from 1,300 ratings for the Avenco.
