What Is An Open Coil Sprung Mattress?
Open coil mattresses have an interconnected network of springs that work together as a single unit (rather than individual springs as with pocket springs).
Each coil spring connects to its neighbours with a wire frame, creating a supportive core that moves as one component.
It’s a time-tested design that distributes your weight across the entire surface while keeping manufacturing costs low, making it an economical choice for value-conscious shoppers and a fantastic choice for guest and kids’ bedrooms.
Different Types Of Open Coil
Open coil systems vary in their construction and performance.
Standard Bonnell coils have an hourglass shape that compresses uniformly under pressure – offering excellent durability and bounce.
Continuous coils use a single length of wire formed into multiple springs, further enhancing durability.
Offset coils have a hinged spring design at the top and bottom, with improved contouring and reduced motion transfer compared to traditional Bonnell springs. These are considered the best open coil technology.
How An Open Coil Sprung Mattress Feels
When you lie on an open coil mattress, you'll experience a responsive surface that moves with your body. The interconnected springs create a consistent feel across the mattress, providing uniform support from edge to edge.
You'll notice more bounce than foam mattresses, making it easier to change positions during the night. The mattress responds quickly to movement, creating a traditional sleeping experience many people prefer.
The drawback to open coil mattresses is that they transfer more motion than other mattress types, so if you have a sleep partner, you might disturb them.
