Spring Mattress

Pocket spring mattresses contain hundreds of individual springs that are sealed in a fabric pocket and stitched together. This unique and increasingly popular arrangement results in a support system that prevents the springs from rolling into each over when under pressure. Pocket springs are usually combined with memory foam or latex to complete a pocket spring mattress. Such mattresses are of a higher quality and provide excellent support. They are also very silent when in use, i.e. no squeaks. Pocket spring mattresses are usually finished in a variety of ways including thick layers of quilting, tufting, and sometimes a layer of memory foam.

Bonnell spring mattress systems are the most traditional type of innerspring mattress. The Bonnell coil has an hourglass shape (wider at the bottom and the top than the middle) and is interconnected with a mesh of metal to make the spring system.

Many traditional innerspring mattresses from the 20th century and still some entry-level models today have used the Bonnell spring to create durable and supportive mattresses. These Bonnell spring mattresses give nice support to the body, hence preventing back pain.

Continuous spring mattresses are sometimes also referred to as Mira Coil Mattresses and are made from a single length of wire which is 'knitted' into a series of interwoven springs that usually run up and down the length of a mattress with a verticle rather than a horizontal linking system.
