Pocket Spring Mattresses Explained

Jan 1, 2022 | Mattresses

If you’re in the market for a new mattress and would like to know about pocket spring mattresses, then you’ve come to the right place!

What is a pocket spring mattress?

It is a mattress made up of individual springs housed in a fabric pocket.

Higher-quality mattresses use a natural calico or cotton fabric for better ventilation. They are also hand-tied or stitched to each other making them highly responsive. They work independently of each other and conform well to body shape.

Are pocket spring mattresses suitable for couples?

Pocket-sprung mattresses are ideal for couples with significant weight differences, as when one person moves, the other isn’t disturbed.

Are they budget-friendly?

These types of mattresses tend to be more expensive than open coil or open sprung mattresses as they take longer to build and generally have better quality fillings over the springs. These fillings include natural ones such as wool, silk and cashmere.

The number of pocket springs in a king-sized mattress starts with 800 pocket springs for a basic model. The more springs the better the individual support. Anything over 2000 is achieved by stacking smaller springs on top.
