Spring mattresses have evolved a lot in recent decades. Today, pocket spring technology allows spring mattresses to take center stage in the bedding world. Pocket spring mattresses are renowned for their longevity and good support for the body.
What Are The Advantages Of A Pocket Spring Mattress?
In the past, spring mattresses used biconical or multi-coil springs. These two technologies have been abandoned in favor of pocket springs, which are more durable and qualitative. Unlike their predecessors, bagged bags are made of an individual steel wire and wrapped in a single bag.
This care given to each spring ensures good longevity and a mattress with firm support. Since the sachets are independent of each other, they react individually to the pressure exerted by the body. This allows support adapted to the sleeper's movements and morphology. The sleeping independence is also greater for this type of mattress.
Another advantage of pocket spring mattresses is the good ventilation due to the springs. Thus, unlike a mattress made only of foam, pocket spring mattresses air out more easily. This results in better hygiene.
Generally, pocket spring mattresses are complemented by other technologies, such as memory foam. At Maison Aubertin, we offer hybrid mattresses made from pocket springs and equipped with a layer of viscoelastic foam (also called memory foam).
What Are The Criteria For A Pocket Spring Mattress?
What differentiates a standard pocket spring mattress from a high-end one is above all the number of springs. For a 140 x 190 cm double mattress, it is generally advisable to have at least 500 pocket springs. The comfort and longevity of the mattress increase if the number of springs increases.
The choice of support (firmness over the entire mattress) and welcome (feeling when lying on the mattress) is made according to the preferences and needs of each person. Note that with a high BMI, it is better to turn to firm to very firm mattresses. Pocket spring mattresses are a good solution in this case, as they usually offer firm support. Regarding the reception, it will depend on the other layers used in the core of the mattress. It can be tonic, balanced, progressive, mellow, supple, etc.
