Yes, latex mattresses are typically bouncy and responsive. That response can make it easier to move around or change positions without feeling stuck, and a tested model’s quick response and lack of a close hug may appeal to people who move often or have mobility issues. In one tested latex mattress, both firmness options transferred more motion than most all-foam models.
