What pocket sprung mattress firmness levels are available?

Our pocket spring mattresses have various firmness levels, from soft to very firm, so you can find the right comfort level. Soft pocket spring mattresses are ideal for side sleepers, cushioning the shoulders and hips. Medium to medium-firm pocket spring mattresses are best for combination sleepers and those who sleep on their backs, offering a mix of support and comfort. For back or stomach sleepers, a firm or extra-firm pocket spring mattress provides the extra support and spinal alignment you need.

For those who can’t decide or who share a bed, split tension pocket spring options are best, as they give you varied firmness levels across the two halves of the mattress. Need help? Browse our mattresses using the sleeping position guide.

What are the benefits of a pocket sprung mattress?

Pocket spring mattresses offer various benefits, including:

• Individual support – Each spring is wrapped separately, so it moves independently as you move. They offer tailored support and reduce partner disturbance during the night.
• Breathability – Pocket spring mattresses are great if you get warm at night, as they don’t retain heat like some memory foam mattresses.
• Edge support and pressure relief – Many of our pocket spring models come with added features like edge support and pressure-relieving zones, adding to the comfort and support you need for a good night’s rest.

Ultimately, pocket spring mattresses provide better body support and less motion transfer. With a higher spring count than traditional spring mattresses, they offer better comfort and are ideal for those who move around during the night.

What’s the best pocket sprung mattress spring count?

The spring count is the number of individual pocket springs inside the mattress, which varies based on size and firmness levels. The higher the springs, the more support and pressure relief. To help:

• 2000 springs and above – The most support, great for those with back pain or who want a more luxurious comfort feel.
• 1200-1999 springs – Mid-range comfort, support, and value, best for couples.
• 800-1199 springs – Lower spring count, adding an introductory level of support for guest rooms or side sleepers.
