Pocket sprung mattresses are filled with natural materials like horsehair, cotton and wool. These materials are durable and help keep your mattress cool and breathable. Ideal if you suffer from asthma, hay fever or allergies.

The springs operate independently from each other, thus reducing the 'roll-together' effect that can be seen in other mattresses. They can be made to your liking by adjusting the number of springs and the gauge of wire.

Enhanced Pressure Relief

In contrast to conventional mattresses, where the entire surface reacts to weight equally, pocket springs respond in a different way. This personalized response ensures that the parts of the body most prone to pressure build-up like the shoulders or hips receive a specific level of support. The result is a reduction in tension on the spine as well as a more comfortable sleep experience.

Additionally, the separate motion of each spring decreases motion transfer. This is particularly beneficial for couples who sleep together, as it prevents the one person from disrupting their partner during sleep. This feature is available in certain hybrid pocket-sprung models that are comprised of a mix of pocket springs, memory foam, and other materials.

Tailored Support
