What is a pocket sprung mattress?
A pocket sprung mattress is the go-to mattress for all-round support and comfort.
The mattress is able to adjust specifically to you, as it’s made using steel springs in individual pockets, which are then surrounded by foam and fibre fillings. With a design this adaptable, you can take advantage of maximum support that’s personalised to your sleeping style.
Which pocket sprung mattress is best for my sleeping position?
You can find both soft and firm mattresses in our spring mattress collection; all that’s left is to discover the right style for your sleeping position.
If you find you drift off for a peaceful sleep best on your stomach, then a firm mattress is the best fit for you, as a firmer surface helps to keep your spine aligned. More of a side sleeper? Then you’ll find a soft mattress stops your shoulders from getting squished, helping to avoid any pain in the area when you wake up.
We’ve got options in the middle to consider too – medium firm and medium soft. These are great for couples who have different sleeping styles. You’re both sure to get the sound snooze you’re looking for when you meet in the middle.
Is a pocket sprung mattress good for back pain?
Yes – a pocket sprung mattress is one of the best choices if you’re dealing with back pain!
Too much movement can wreak havoc on any already painful spots in your back, but motion transfer is kept to a minimum here, as the springs work individually as you move. You’ll also find the firmer nature of this mattress style helps to keep the spine aligned, even if you’re a fidgety sleeper.
Memory foam mattresses are an excellent choice for back pain as well; the perfect mattress for you will depend on your personal comfort preference. Memory foam is soft and sinkable, while spring mattresses are firm and supportive.
Is a pocket sprung mattress better than memory foam?
Both pocket sprung and memory foam mattresses offer cosy, cushioned comfort. Which one is best is all down to what you like.
A memory foam mattress offers a softer, sinkable texture that’s ideal for relieving a bit of pressure on painful joints in the back, hip, and shoulders. While a pocket sprung mattress will support the spine too, you may find you prefer the softer feel of memory foam.
However, if you do drift off quicker on a more structured, supportive mattress, then a pocket spring could do the trick. They’re great for the warmer sleeper, as the unique design boosts airflow, and independent springs isolate movement. That means even as your partner tosses and turns on their side of the bed, your side will stay still and snug!
How do I care for my pocket sprung mattress?
Caring for your spring mattress helps it stay comfy and cosy, so you can keep snoozing soundly for as long as possible.
The best time to give your mattress a clean is when you’ve stripped the bedding and the mattress is clear. First, go in with your vacuum, gently running the soft attachment nozzle up and down the surface to remove any crumbs. Then, you can tackle any pesky marks with a simple mild detergent and water mix. Be careful not to soak the mattress – a little dab works wonders.
You should also rotate your mattress every few months to help distribute wear evenly across the surface.
