A pocket sprung mattress is a type of mattress that contains individual pocket springs, each sewn into its own fabric pocket. These springs work independently of one another, allowing for added contour and pressure point relief than older innerspring models. The general rule on pocket coil systems is the more coils, the more responsive and motion controlled the mattress is, while still providing support. Pocket sprung mattresses tend to have a much higher spring count than open coil mattresses, thus offering greater support. Pocket springs dont move as a whole unit, unlike more traditional open coil mattresses. This helps to prevent "roll-together", and reduces the transfer of movement to other areas of the mattress. Each pocket spring works individually to correctly support your body, making it particularly beneficial if you and your partner are of different weights or if you tend to toss and turn throughout the night. Pocket sprung mattresses offer a range of benefits, including no motion transfer when sleeping with a partner, consistent firmness across the mattress night after night, complete body support while you sleep, and soothing pressure relief for your joints. Pocket sprung mattresses are also designed to relieve the build-up of pressure points as the weight of your body is distributed across many different springs. Pocket sprung mattresses are usually available in different tensions, so you can tailor the mattress to suit your support needs. Most pocket spring mattresses are available in soft, medium, firm, and sometimes extra firm spring tensions.
