How does a pocket sprung mattress work?

In bag-spring mattresses , also known as bag-spring mattresses, the springs are packed separately in small bags , so they can move independently and distribute body weight evenly. When we lie on the mattress, only those springs that are under pressure are compressed.

Thanks to this, our partner will not perceive any discomfort from our movement, and both parties can sleep peacefully.

The bag spring adapts better to the shape of the body , and the layer of memory foam above it can provide us with sufficient softness.

Pocket sprung mattress sizes and hardness

They are available in hard and semi-hard versions, in most standard sizes. The most popular mattress sizes:

• 90x200
• 160x200

Advantages of pocket sprung mattresses

• There is no overflow, the partner's turning does not disturb the other during sleep.
• They have a point elasticity similar to foam mattresses.
• The body weight is optimally distributed thanks to the bag springs.
• It effectively adapts to the lines of the body, thus protecting the spine and vertebrae.

What to look for when buying a pocket sprung mattress

For a pocket spring mattress, the number of springs, as well as the diameter, thickness, height and quality of the material are very important. These main aspects determine the comfort and longevity of these mattresses. Distributors usually specify the number of springs in their inventory, but the best decision is to try the chosen mattress in person.

Number of springs, spring density

How well our pocket sprung mattress will adapt to our body largely depends on the number of springs and their thickness.

Most manufacturers consider the number of springs between 1,000 and 2,000 to be optimal. Body weight and sleeping position determine which dense spring mattress you should choose. A higher number of springs is not always a better choice, because, for example, if you lie on your side, your mattress may feel harder with an average body weight.

Spring thickness, diameter

When buying a pocket sprung mattress, the thickness of the springs and the wire must be taken into account. These factors influence how tight and hard our mattress will be. The thicker the spring wire, the harder it is to compress the mattress and the harder it will be. The thickness of the pocket spring wire usually ranges from 1.2 mm to 2.1 mm , but we can make our mattress even more comfortable with different comfort layers.

Comfort layers

These types range from cold foams of various densities and flexibility to memory foams and latex, with a comfort layer .

Perhaps the most comfortable is memory foam, which softens under pressure and heat. It is heat sensitive, which can get very hot in the summer. Latex , on the other hand, breathes easily and rivals memory foam in terms of comfort. The cold foam is also well ventilated, flexible and durable.

The lifespan of pocket sprung mattresses

Many factors can influence:

• Quality : This is one of the most important factors, the better the quality, the more durable it is.
• Weight: The pressure on the mattress. The mass of a heavier person weighs more on the mattress than a lighter person, so in their case the mattress needs to be changed more often.
• Sweat: We can sweat up to half a liter in one night, which is not good for the mattress lining, so it is worth using a mattress protector .
  
• Maintenance: Use a mattress protector to protect it from dirt and sweat. It is recommended to wash and replace this more often. The mattress must be turned over 3-4 times a year and thoroughly vacuumed.

Among mattresses, pocket sprung mattresses have become increasingly popular in recent years. These high-quality mattresses are ideal for all sleeping habits. The spring structure of pocket sprung mattresses fits exactly to every part of the body, so they provide maximum comfort during sleep. If you want a comfortable and durable mattress, you should think about getting a pocket sprung mattress.
