How many pocket springs do you need for a good mattress?
The number of pocket springs in a good mattress will of course vary according to its size. We'll explain everything and give you some tips on how to choose the right spring mattress.
The most frequently asked questions when it comes to changing your bedding are, without a doubt: How do you choose your mattress? And when should you change your mattress? The criteria vary considerably depending on whether you're thinking of buying a latex, foam or spring mattress.We often hear that pocket sprung mattresses are among the best on the market. However, this largely depends on the number of pocket springs that make up its core (the heart of the mattress!). Here's how it works.
We can't stress this enough, if you want to sleep well, it's essential to have a mattress that's adapted to your body shape and specific needs. In particular, the level of firmness plays a vital role. When choosing a mattress, you need to take into account your height and weight. For people over 1.80 m tall, for overweight people or for most people with back problems, firm support is recommended. In these cases, you can turn to a pocket-spring mattress with peace of mind.The pocket-spring mattress is quite simply the new generation spring mattress. The question is where to buy a mattress like this?In the 1960s, the open coil spring mattress was made up of a long steel wire that formed all the springs in the mattress - not great for independent sleeping!

You may already have heard that the density of the mattress determines its level of firmness and that the thickness of the mattress determines its comfort? This is true if you opt for a latex mattress or a high-density or high-resilience foam mattress. In the case of spring mattresses, it's the number of pocket springs that determines comfort.The number of pocket springs varies from 400 to 1200 depending on the size of the mattress. An entry-level 140 x 190 cm mattress has 530 to 580 springs. A good mattress of this size should have at least 600 springs. Count on 700 springs for a top-of-the-range model. Visit mattress comparison and mattress recycling can help you make the right choice based on these criteria.
Good to know - the more springs a mattress has, the heavier it is. So it's a good idea to choose a single-sided model, so you don't have to turn it over twice a year... especially if you fancy a King Size! However, inevitably you will need to move and adjust your mattress from time to time. From size 140 x 190 upwards, it's a good idea to choose a model with solid handles to assist in moving it around.
While the number of pocket springs is essential when choosing a mattress, it is not the only guarantee of its quality.

This heat-reactive foam is unique in that it follows the contours of the body and absorbs shocks. So it helps relieve pressure points. It's also hypoallergenic - a real plus for limiting the risk of allergies! The only downside is that viscoelastic memory foam is not very breathable, so it is generally not recommended for people who tend to perspire a lot - unless you opt for the latest generation foam with a special treatment.
