Customized Mattress Pocket Spring Unit Rolled Individual Pocket Spring

A pocket spring mattress can be constructed with one or more layers of pocket springs. In general, the more pocket springs there are in the mattress, the more supportive it will be. Most manufacturers specify the number of springs within each mattress, allowing for easy comparison between mattresses.

The number of pocket springs in a king size mattress starts from around 600 in basic models. Ideally, you should be looking for a mattress that contains at least 1000 springs, as anything less is unlikely to provide adequate support. Mattresses with more than 2,000 pocket springs will consist of several layers of pocket springs stacked on top of each other. The base layer absorbs movement, while the top layers contour to the shape of the body.

Some pocket spring mattresses contain mini or micro springs to improve overall comfort. As shoppers often compare mattresses by spring counts, some manufacturers often include mini or micro springs in the name or specification of the mattress to exaggerate the overall spring count. As a result, it’s not uncommon to find mattresses with 10,000, 20,000, or even 30,000 pocket springs.

This can be misleading as you won’t know whether you’re comparing mini springs with full-height springs. Full-height springs have several turns in the wire that allow them to be responsive to the sleeper’s weight. In contrast, mini or micro springs compress much quicker and are not as supportive.

Spring counts are always based on the king size version. This means there will be fewer pocket springs in the smaller sizes, such as singles and doubles and more pocket springs in the larger sizes, like super king.
