Pocket Spring Mattresses

What are the benefits of a pocket sprung mattress?

A pocket sprung mattress will give you superb comfort and support. Because a pocket sprung mattress has individually wrapped springs, you can rest assured knowing your back and joints are in safe hands and aren't at risk of damage.

Any pressure points will be gently cradled by the foam mattress topper so you'll remain comfortable throughout the night. Another advantage of pocket spring mattresses is that these springs can prevent you and your partner from rolling together.

Choosing the best pocket sprung mattress comfort grade for you

Pocket sprung mattresses are available in a variety of comfort grades, from soft to very firm. Choosing which comfort grade is best for you largely depends on your personal preferences and whether you prefer a soft mattress or something a little sturdier. Your sleeping position plays a big part in this decision.

Below are the comfort grades of a pocket sprung mattress and what is recommended for your sleeping position:

The soft comfort grade offers the most cushioning. This is recommended for side sleepers, as their pressure points are their hips and elbows. These pressure points are vulnerable to damage if not cushioned sufficiently.

The medium comfort grade offers both cushioning and support. Therefore, it's recommended for back and front sleepers, as it helps the spine keep its natural alignment.

The firm and very firm mattress grades are also recommended for back sleepers, as they offer the most support to the spine.
