The Sleeper’s Choice: Why Spring Mattresses Are Still On Top

Marketing Manager from Beds4U Newmarket

Have you ever wondered why some beds feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, while others might as well be a rock? The answer often lies in what's inside them.

Today, we're diving deep into the world of innerspring mattresses or, as they're commonly known, spring mattresses.

… View moreHave you ever wondered why some beds feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, while others might as well be a rock? The answer often lies in what's inside them.

Today, we're diving deep into the world of innerspring mattresses or, as they're commonly known, spring mattresses.

This guide will help you navigate the complex landscape of beds and mattresses, focusing on the tried-and-true technology of springs and coils.

The Evolution of Spring Mattresses
The journey of spring mattresses from a luxury to a household staple is fascinating. Initially patented in the 19th century, these mattresses have undergone significant evolution.

Early versions were basic, with simple coils sewn into the mattress fabric.

Today advancements in technology and design have led to pocketed coils. Each coil is encased separately to minimise the spread of the movement.

Multi-layered models combine springs with memory foam or latex for added comfort and support.

What Makes Spring Mattresses So Special?
Spring mattresses have been essential for quality sleep for a century. But what exactly makes them stand out?

Durability and Support. The core of a spring mattress is made from steel coils, which provide a strong foundation that helps maintain spinal alignment.

Breathability. The space between the coils allows air to circulate freely, keeping you cool throughout the night.

Variety. They come in various firmness levels and designs, catering to various sleep preferences.

Customizable Comfort. Spring mattresses now offer customisable comfort levels. This means you can choose a mattress that exactly fits your body's needs for a more personalised sleep experience.

Excellent Weight Distribution. Spring mattresses evenly distribute weight, reducing pressure points. This improves sleep quality by providing proper body support all night.

How to Choose the Right Spring Mattress
When searching for the perfect spring mattress, keep these key points in mind:

Type of Coils. The most common types include pocketed, continuous, and offset coils. Pocketed coils, for example, are excellent for reducing motion transfer.

Coil Count and Gauge. A higher coil count can offer better support and mattress durability, while the gauge (thickness) of the coils determines the firmness.

Comfort Layers. Modern spring mattresses often feature layers of foam, gel, or latex on top of the coils for extra comfort and support.

Size and Firmness. Consider the size of your bed and your preferred firmness level. It's often suggested that a mattress with a medium-firm feel is ideal for maintaining the best posture for your spine while you sleep.

Warranty and Sleep Trial. Always check the warranty and sleep trial period offered with the mattress. A longer warranty and sleep trial period can give you peace of mind. This ensures your investment is protected. You also have enough time to decide if the mattress suits you.

Ensuring Your Mattress Fits Your Needs.
Your sleep position, body weight, and personal preferences play a crucial role in selecting the right mattress.

For instance, side sleepers might enjoy a softer mattress to cushion the shoulders and hips, while stomach sleepers generally need a firmer surface to keep their spine aligned.

Caring for Your Spring Mattress.
To extend the life of your spring mattress, here are a few tips:

Rotate it regularly to distribute wear evenly.
Use a mattress protector to shield against dust, spills, and allergens.
Ensure it's supported by a sturdy bed frame or base.


Spring mattresses offer a blend of traditional support and modern comfort, making them a popular choice for many.

With the right information and a little bit of shopping savvy, you can find the perfect spring mattress to ensure you get the restful sleep you deserve.

Remember, the key to a healthier lifestyle and improved well-being starts with a good night's sleep.

Now that you're armed with knowledge about spring mattresses, it's time to find the one that will whisk you away to dreamland.

Whether you're looking for a mattress that supports your back, a bed that feels like sleeping on air, or stylish furniture to complement your sleep sanctuary, Beds4U has you covered.
