Pocket spring mattresses

Pocket spring mattresses combine springs and fabric pockets to provide a comfortable and supportive night’s rest. These mattresses can also be tailored to your specific preferences depending on your ideal comfort grade or size. The mattresses work by distributing your weight evenly with individual springs that push against your body to provide that unrivalled support.

What is a pocket spring mattress?

Similarly to a traditional spring mattress, a pocket spring mattress contains hundreds of springs. However, the main difference is that these springs are individually wrapped in their own fabric pockets and are not directly attached to one another. This means that the springs can move independently and adjust to the contours of your body. They also prevent ‘roll together’ which is where you and your partner roll into the middle of the bed, ensuring a more comfortable sleep overall.

What are the benefits of a pocket spring mattress?

A pocket sprung mattress offers superb comfort and also support. Because of these individually wrapped springs, you can rest assured knowing your back and joints are in safe hands and are not at risk of damage. Also, any pressure points will be gently cradled by the foam mattress topper so that you will remain comfortable throughout the night. Another advantage of pocket spring mattresses is that these springs can stop you and your partner from rolling together, which usually cannot be avoided with other mattresses.

Choosing the best pocket sprung mattress comfort grade

Pocket sprung mattresses are available in a variety of comfort grades, from soft to very firm. Choosing which comfort grade is the best for you largely depends on your personal preferences and whether you prefer a soft mattress or something a little sturdier. However, your sleeping position plays a big part in it.
• 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 those who sleep on their back and their front, 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.

What size pocket spring mattress should I get?

The appropriate size for your mattress depends on who will be sleeping on it. Because a pocket spring mattress is such a popular option, we have it available in every size from cot size to a 6’0 wide super king. The average pocket sprung single mattress is 3’0 wide and 190cm long. A standard pocket sprung double mattress, however, is 4’6 wide and 190cm long.

The size also depends on how much space you have in your bedroom. Choose a bed and mattress that gives you enough space to comfortably walk around while providing ample room to sleep comfortably.
