Pocket Sprung Mattresses

With our frequently asked questions, you can ensure that you get the right pocket-spring mattress for your sleep requirements. We've gathered what people are asking and used our extensive knowledge to help make your buying decision easier.

A pocket-sprung mattress contains hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of individual springs encased in a pocket of fabric. This allows the springs to operate independently from each other, so only the springs bearing weight will move whilst the rest of the mattress remains stable.

Pocket spring mattresses have plenty of fantastic benefits that any sleeper will enjoy, but we think some of the best are:

Motion isolation

With hundreds of springs operating independently, a pocket-sprung bed mattress offers plenty of support and minimises excess movement. Unsurprisingly, this makes them a popular choice for couples, especially those with a restless partner!

Pressure relieving

At the same time, pocket springs can also provide custom support to your joints, helping to relieve pressure on your shoulders, hips, and joints for a more comfortable sleep. This means you can enjoy a more personalised sleep, and if you opt for a pocket-sprung memory foam mattress, you can get the ultimate in customised support!

• Personal preference
• Any injuries
• Your sleeping position

The number of springs your pocket-sprung mattress should have depends entirely on how firm you want it to be. A mattress with a higher number of springs, such as 3000, will be much firmer than one with only 800 springs, and so forth.

Some pocket-spring mattresses are rolled up for easy transportation. These are vacuum-sealed in the warehouse after they're made and then rolled up, ensuring you get factory freshness without the risk of picking up any dust or dirt between manufacture and delivery! They're easy to use, as once delivered, all you need to do is open it up and let the mattress return to its original form. Explore our range of rolled pocket spring mattresses in our rolled mattresses range now.

You can flip pocket-sprung mattresses, but only if the manufacturer recommends it. Some are one-sided, such as a hybrid mattress, which means they will have a layer of foam or quilting on one side. Flipping them would render this layer useless and mean you get less support and comfort! This is particularly common for hybrid mattresses, which combine springs and foam.
