Traditional Spring

Traditional Spring information

Spring mattresses are loved for their traditional feel, incredible responsiveness and bounce. The spinal support sleepers benefit from with a spring mattress is great as the sensitive springs give way to the natural curve and weight of the body.

Spring mattresses are made up of coil systems which vary and deliver a variety of benefits, support styles and quality. The most popular systems are the continuous, Bonnel, pocket and offset systems. The systems are then covered in a variety of other materials to create a classic and comfortable mattress.

Spring vs foam

When shopping for a mattress you’ll need to decide between a spring and a foam design. To make your selection, weigh up the benefits of each and make the choice that best suits your comfort and support needs.

Each option has a lot to offer. The spring mattress is often more affordable than the memory foam type and can be customised to a specific weight and firmness demand. Spring mattresses are also fantastic for ‘hot’ sleepers as the pocketed coil design doesn’t trap heat.

A foam mattress is usually hypoallergenic due to the density of the material and gives pressure point support that allows body weight to be well distributed.

Your final decision will come down to your personal preference – whether you love the thick density and support of foam or the light and sensitive response of spring.
