Pocket spring mattresses are one of the most popular mattress types.
They are made from individual pocket springs, each pocket spring nestled in its own fabric pocket. Where in an open coil mattress the coils work together as one sheet, the springs in a pocket sprung mattress work independently.
The benefits of a pocket spring mattress are what has contributed to their popularity.
As the pocket springs work independently, pocket spring mattresses are a great solution for couples.
The individual pocket springs mean there is no rolling-together feeling. They also promise a reduction in movement transfer when your partner tosses and turns. This is particularly beneficial for couples who are of different weights. No more waking up every time your partner turns!
Due to the pocket springs working independently, each spring only reacts to the pressure applied to a specific area. This means better individualised support for the whole body as well as correct spinal alignment.
Better support for your body banishes aches and pains, allowing you to wake up rested and rejuvenated after a comfortable night’s sleep!
A greater degree of support leads to better pressure relief, reducing the build-up of pressure to common pressure point areas such as the hips and shoulders.
The consistent tension created by the individual pocket springs results in even firmness across the entire sleeping surface.
The tension of the springs is what largely determines the overall firmness of the mattress.
The number of pocket springs in a mattress can vary. It is also worth noting that pocket springs are only one element of mattress construction. The overall feel of your mattress will also depend on the comfort layers, such a memory foam or natural fillings.
The firmness of a pocket spring mattress ranges from soft to very firm, depending on the tension and number of pocket springs, and the comfort layers.
Orthopaedic pocket spring mattresses tend to be firmer and have been constructed with pain-relieving qualities in mind.
In general, softer mattresses are better with side sleepers and firmer mattresses with back sleepers.
There are also several hybrid mattresses available. A hybrid mattress combines layers of pocket springs with foam layers. With a hybrid mattress, you don’t need to worry about who comes out at the top in a battle of pocket spring vs memory foam but can enjoy the benefits of both worlds.
Lea Mattress’ Premium Mattress uses memory foam, 1000 pocket springs and other supportive foam layers to create a mattress with superior comfort and excellent support.
Several reasons can stand in the way of a good night’s sleep. Sleep disorders such as insomnia can be caused by anxiety, hormones, digestive problems or be a symptom of another condition. Many, at some point or another, go through seasons of poor sleep that can be caused by medical conditions, stress or everyday habits that steal away sleep.
What is for sure is that sleep has a significant impact on our physical and mental health – and vice versa.
And then there is our mattress. Is it helping you sleep well? Is it causing you aches and pain? Is it contributing to symptoms of asthma or allergies?
Multiple reasons can affect your sleep quality, but a mattress is a great place to start.
Dust mites, dirt and sweat can fester in an old mattress, affecting our sleep hygiene. A mattress that is not giving you the right support can also make your sleep restless and you may wake up feeling tired and achy.
Hence, if you struggle with poor sleep, start by checking if your mattress needs an upgrade. A great quality mattress may just be the answer to your sleep problems!
We value a great night’s sleep, which is why we created our Lea Mattresses.
