How many pocket springs should a mattress have?

More springs generally means finer, more even support. 1,000+ is a good baseline, with 2,000+ considered premium.

Are pocket spring mattresses good for couples?

Yes, because each spring moves independently, movement on one side is far less likely to disturb the other sleeper.

Do pocket spring mattresses need a specific base?

They work with most solid or slatted bases, including our divan, sleigh and ottoman frames.

Pocket Spring Mattresses

Pocket springs are individually wrapped, so each one compresses independently under load. That means better motion isolation for shared beds, more even weight distribution, and a firmer, more responsive feel than all-foam constructions.

What Makes Pocket Springs Different?

Unlike open-coil springs (which are linked together and move as one unit), pocket springs are individually wrapped in fabric, so each one responds only to the weight directly above it.

This gives noticeably better motion isolation, useful for couples with different sleep schedules, and support that adapts to your body's actual contours rather than a single uniform tension across the whole mattress.

Higher spring counts (2,000+) generally mean finer, more precise support, since more, smaller springs can respond to smaller changes in body shape.
