At first glance, one mattress may seem much like another, but choosing the right one is crucial if you want to ensure comfort and good nights’ sleep for years to come. One of the most popular kinds of mattress available is the pocket sprung mattress, which is widely available at trusted retailers like Fishpools.
So what is a pocket sprung mattress and what makes this type of mattress so popular?
A pocket sprung mattress is manufactured to contain individual pocket springs, each of which is encased in its own fabric pocket. This unique design enables each spring in the mattress to work independently of the next, only reacting to the weight and pressure applied to a specific area of the mattress’s surface.
The result is superior lumbar support, better comfort, and less movement transfer for each person who sleeps on a pocket sprung mattress. This type of mattress can even help you to optimise your posture while you rest!
Pros and cons of pocket sprung mattresses
One of the key benefits of choosing a pocket sprung mattress is that pocket springs don’t move together as a single unit like they do in standard open coil mattresses. This helps to prevent sleepers from rolling together in the centre of the mattress during the night and reduces movement transfer to other areas of the sleeping surface. These mattresses are also designed in a way that reduces the risk of sagging in the middle.
Each spring in a pocket sprung mattress works individually to provide correct support for your entire body, making this mattress type particularly ideal for those who toss and turn during the night. The encasing of each spring also helps to ensure that you won’t feel the springs while you sleep, and that your mattress remains even and comfortable for years to come.
Pocket sprung mattresses like the Grange Natural Ortho 1000 Mattress and Base Set offer superior temperature control to foam options, and are ideal for people who tend to overheat at night. As the springs are separately packed instead of interlinked, many sleepers find that these beds produce less noise when their partners shift during the night.
There are of course some potential disadvantages to consider too, although these will be largely based on your preferences and needs. Quality pocket sprung mattresses may be more expensive than open coil mattresses, as more material is required to ensure that each spring is snugly encased in its own pocket. With that said, this design may help your bed to retain its shape and comfort over time, making it a worthy investment.
Furthermore, some pocket sprung mattresses are heavier than other mattress types, which can make them challenging to turn, especially in larger sizes.
