What is a Pocket Sprung Mattress?
A pocket sprung mattress is an innerspring mattress where each spring is wrapped in its own fabric pocket. This means each spring can move independently, giving tailored support to different parts of the body. Unlike traditional mattresses where springs are connected, pocket sprung systems are more flexible and responsive. The independent movement means the mattress hugs the body exactly, distributes body weight, gives comfort and promotes spinal alignment. The individual pockets also reduce motion transfer, making pocket sprung mattresses perfect for couples who sleep differently or are sensitive to movement.
Pocket sprung mattresses are different from other spring mattresses because of their design and independent spring movement.
Pocket Spring Benefits
Pocket springs have several benefits that make them a favourite for mattresses. One of the biggest advantages is their support and pressure relief. Each pocket spring moves independently so the mattress can mould to your body shape and relieve pressure points. This makes pocket sprung mattresses perfect for back and side sleepers as they can reduce aches and pains by distributing weight evenly across the mattress.
Another big benefit of pocket springs is motion transfer reduction. The individual pocket springs absorb movement so you won’t be disturbed by your partner’s movements at night. This is especially good for couples or light sleepers who get woken up by movement.
Pocket springs also promote spinal alignment which is key to a good night’s sleep. By moulding to your body shape, pocket springs keep your spine in its natural curve, reducing back pain and discomfort. This tailored support means you wake up feeling refreshed and free from the common aches caused by a bad mattress.
Why a Pocket Sprung Mattress?
Choosing a pocket sprung mattress from Contract Divan Beds gives you many benefits. Firstly the independent springs give you superior support, adapting to your body shape and weight. This adaptability gives you comfort and relieves pressure points so you don’t wake up with aches and pains. A double pocket spring mattress is especially good for back pain sufferers. Our pocket sprung mattresses also have better airflow which helps with temperature regulation and keeps you cool at night.
Another big plus is the durability of our pocket sprung mattresses. The spring system resists sagging over time so the mattress will maintain its support for years to come. Plus the reduced motion transfer means our pocket sprung mattresses are perfect for sharing a bed as movements on one side won’t disturb the other. For extra support a firmer mattress can promote healthy spine alignment especially for back and stomach sleepers. This means uninterrupted sleep and a more restful and refreshing night. So choosing a pocket sprung mattress from Contract Divan Beds means investing in quality, comfort and longevity for your sleep space.
How Many Pocket Springs Do I Need?
The number of pocket springs in a mattress determines the support and comfort level. Generally the more springs the better the support and the finer the comfort. More pocket springs gives more support and responsiveness so the mattress can mould to the sleeper’s body. For single sleepers a mattress with around 1,000 pocket springs gives great support and durability. For couples you may need a mattress with over 2,000 pocket springs so both can get the support they need without compromising on comfort.
At Contract Divan Beds we make sure our pocket springs are not only numerous but also top quality. Higher quality pocket springs give consistent performance and longevity, they maintain their supportive properties over time. The distribution of springs matters; a well distributed spring system gives even support across the whole mattress surface. Combining pocket springs with a memory foam mattress gives you a hybrid option that caters to different sleep needs, support and comfort. When choosing a pocket sprung mattress, we assess your needs, body type and sleeping habits to decide how many springs will give you the best sleep experience for you.
Mattress Construction and Materials
Pocket sprung mattresses are made up of individual pocket springs wrapped in a fabric pocket. These springs are made from high quality materials like steel or titanium to give optimal support and pressure relief. The fabric pocket allows each spring to move independently so the mattress can mould to your body.
The fabric pocket is usually made from breathable materials like cotton or polyester to give airflow and temperature regulation throughout the night. This is important for a comfortable sleeping environment especially for hot sleepers. Some pocket sprung mattresses also have additional layers like memory foam or latex for extra comfort and support. These layers work with the pocket springs to give a balanced combination of responsiveness and pressure relief.
The construction of a pocket sprung mattress is designed for long term support and durability. The individual pocket springs work together to give consistent support and the fabric pockets keep the springs in place so they don’t shift or sag over time. This means your mattress will maintain its support for years to come.
Support and Firmness Options
Pocket sprung mattresses come in a range of firmness options from soft to firm to suit different sleeping positions and personal preferences. The firmness of a mattress is determined by the type and number of pocket springs and the materials used in the mattress.
Soft pocket sprung mattresses are for side sleepers, they give extra cushioning and pressure relief for the shoulders and hips. This extra softness helps to alleviate pressure points and gives a comfortable night's sleep. Medium firm mattresses are for back sleepers, they give the right balance of support and pressure relief to keep the spine in alignment. Firm mattresses are for stomach sleepers, they give the support to stop the lower back from sinking too far into the mattress which helps keep the spine in alignment.
Some pocket sprung mattresses also have adjustable firmness options so you can customise the firmness of your mattress to your sleeping position. This is especially useful for couples who share a bed as you can adjust the firmness of your side of the bed to your individual needs. By choosing the right firmness you can have a restful night's sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and discomfort free.
