what is pocket spring mattress

A pocket spring mattress is a type of mattress that contains individual springs, each sewn into its own pocket of fabric. Unlike traditional innerspring systems that are interconnected, pocket springs are entirely independent, allowing for added contour and pressure point relief than older innerspring models. The springs work completely independently of one another, adapting to each persons unique shape and sleeping position, which allows for ultimate comfort and perfect spinal alignment. Pocket spring mattresses tend to have a much higher spring count than open coil mattresses, thus offering greater support. In most pocket spring beds, there is a layer of memory foam or latex foam above the pocket spring array so that the sleeper gets both the benefits of contouring foam and the comfort of the pocket springs. Pocket spring mattresses are usually available in different tensions, so you can tailor the mattress to suit your support needs. The general rule on pocket coil systems is the more coils, the more responsive and motion controlled the mattress is, while still providing support.
