What Is A Pocket Spring Mattress?
A pocket spring mattress contains hundreds or thousands of springs, each wrapped in a fabric pocket.
Unlike traditional open coil designs, these springs work independently, compressing only where pressure is applied. This targeted response means the mattress adjusts to your body's contours while minimising motion transfer between sleeping partners.
Different Types Of Pocket Springs
Pocket spring mattresses vary in spring count and configuration, and the quantity and firmness of the springs dictate the feel.
Entry-level mattress designs feature around 800-1000 springs, providing good support for most sleepers without breaking the bank.
Premium models can contain up to 3000 springs, offering enhanced response and pressure relief. Some feature zoned support with different spring tensions across the mattress, while others use mini springs in additional layers for extra comfort.
A mattress with more springs will usually provide better motion isolation and support, but above 1,500, the gains aren’t always noticeable.
How A Pocket Spring Mattress Feels
When you first lie on a pocket spring mattress, you'll notice how it responds precisely to your body weight with excellent bounce.
Areas like your shoulders and hips sink slightly deeper, and lighter areas receive gentler support (depending on the comfort layer), creating a floating sensation where every part of your body feels properly supported.
The springs adjust as you move, maintaining support without disturbing your partner -- perfect if you are married or have kids.
