Pocket Sprung Mattresses

What is a pocket-sprung mattress?

A modern take on a classic spring mattress, pocket sprung mattresses are supported by sets of individually coiled springs enclosed within their own separate pockets of fabric – a distinct difference from the linked spring networks seen in older spring mattresses.

As a result, this spring separation allows for the independent movement of each pocket spring, allowing your mattress to effortlessly match and support your body no matter how much you move at night.

Why choose a pocket-sprung mattress?

The most common type of mattress on the market, buying a pocket sprung mattress is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a simple mattress that’s made using a reliable, tried-and-tested piece of mattress technology.

Soft pocket-sprung mattresses are more than capable of providing that sink-in feeling, while firm pocket-sprung mattresses are packed with just the kind of support you need to alleviate any aches and pains you might be getting from your current model.

How many springs should a pocket-sprung mattress have?

As a general rule of thumb, the more springs a pocket-sprung mattress has, the better, as the greater the number of springs, the more diffused your movements in bed will be. So, if your partner is a ‘wriggler’, a higher number of pocket springs in the centre of your mattress will make sure you’re not disturbed by them.

In terms of how many springs you might find in a pocket-sprung mattress, an entry-level model might have between 800 to 1,000 individually pocketed springs, while a mid-range or high-end mattress could have 2,000 springs or more!

You should also bear in mind that the larger the mattress, the more springs it will have. For example, a pocket-sprung king-size mattress may have well over double that of a single mattress, so you’ll want to consider this for support levels when choosing your new bed.

What’s the difference between pocket-sprung, memory, and hybrid mattresses?

When it comes to buying a pocket sprung vs memory foam vs hybrid mattress, the differences lie in how the mattresses are constructed. As we’ve already noted, pocket-sprung beds are made using individually coiled springs, whereas memory foam mattresses are made purely of foam and nothing else.

Hybrid mattresses, on the other hand, are a blend of both versions, giving you the cushioning of dedicated memory foam alongside the reflexive support of pocket springs for a nice halfway point between the two.

Which pocket-sprung mattress is best?

Like when buying a mattress of any style, the sort of pocket-sprung mattress that’s right for you will depend largely on your sleep preferences. Pocket-sprung beds are uniquely tailored to meet the needs of all sleeping styles. However, you will need to be careful about the mattress firmness rating you choose, as this can impact your comfort level the most.

How much does a pocket-sprung mattress cost?

The price of your new pocket sprung mattress will be dictated mainly by its size and the brand you choose to go with. A basic standard double pocket sprung mattress could cost you as little as £340, whereas a high-end model could be well over £1,200+.

Of course, a lower price is no sign of lower quality, and you can find plenty of reasonably priced single, double, and king-sized pocket-sprung mattresses in our range – all of which are available with free next day delivery to mainland UK!
