The comfort of a pocket spring mattress comes from two main factors:
1. Targeted Support
Each spring compresses individually under pressure. That means:
-
Heavier areas like hips and shoulders sink slightly deeper
-
Lighter areas remain properly supported
-
The spine stays more naturally aligned
This adaptive support reduces pressure points and helps minimize back discomfort.
2. Reduced Motion Transfer
Since springs move independently, motion on one side of the bed is less likely to disturb the other side. If your partner turns over during the night, you’re less likely to feel it.
Does Spring Count Matter?
Yes — the number of pocket springs plays an important role in overall comfort.
Generally speaking:
-
More springs = better weight distribution
-
Higher spring count often provides more refined support
-
Smaller diameter springs allow for greater precision
However, quality matters just as much as quantity. The gauge (thickness) of the steel and the overall mattress design also affect performance.

Who Should Choose a Pocket Spring Mattress?
A pocket spring mattress is ideal for:
-
Couples who want reduced motion disturbance
-
People needing better spinal alignment
-
Combination sleepers (side/back sleepers)
-
Those who prefer a balance of support and bounce
It’s also commonly combined with memory foam, natural latex, or gel-infused foam layers to enhance pressure relief and cooling performance.
