• One of the most widely used options, also known as the Bonnell spring.

• Springs are arranged in rows and connected to one another, top and bottom, by a spiral helical wire with an outer rod strengthening the perimeter.

• There are usually a minimum of 325 coils in a 5ft/150cm size – but some mattresses may have more.

• Come in a choice of tensions, starting from a very firm 12.5 gauge wire.

• Priced from budget to mid-range

Pocket Spring Mattress

• Small, softer springs that work independently from each other

• Conforms and adjusts to body contours.

• Helps eliminate roll together.

• Spring counts typically vary from 600-800 up to 2,500 but can go up to 3 or even 4,000. Like other types they are made in a range of tensions.

• Often more expensive and used mainly in higher quality products.

• Better quality pocket springs are encased in calico pockets, hand nested in a honeycomb pattern and centre tied with linen cord.

• Less expensive pocket springs are encased in fibretex or stitchbond fabrics and are lightly glued together in linear rows.
