Pocketed Coil Mattress Vs Innerspring

A pocket coil mattress differs from an innerspring mattress in how its springs are made and placed.

Different gauge springs at different pressure points of the mattress can be used for the following 4 purposes:

• Motion isolation
• Reducing noise
• Improved spring durability
• Targeted support

Pocket-coil mattresses contain multiple coils or springs enclosed in fabric sleeves.

With fabric sleeves, springs can act independently, reducing movement.

Metal coils are woven together to form an innerspring mattress.

An innerspring mattress sinks to one side because the coils move as a unit.

The 3 main differences between a pocketed coil mattress and an innerspring mattress are as follows:

1. Pressure points and comfort: Pocket spring mattresses have different pressure point responses than innerspring mattresses. A pocket spring mattress distributes pressure across more than one spring, creating more relief.
2. Cost: Innerspring mattresses are cheaper and more durable, but the foam that lines them is cheaper as well. Since pocket spring mattresses use more quality materials, they are more expensive.
3. Motion transfer: An innerspring mattress transfers a lot of motion from one side to the other. Pocket spring mattresses transfer less motion.

Our recommendation for a high-quality innerspring mattress is the Saatva Classic.

Made with both dual coil innerspring construction and pocket coils.

Designed to last 10-15 years, this affordable and extremely comfortable mattress is our top choice for 2022.

Pocket-coil mattresses consist of multiple coils or springs enclosed in
fabric sleeves or pockets.

With fabric sleeves, springs can act independently of one another, minimizing movement across the mattress.

There is usually more comfort associated with a larger number of springs.

The following 3 types of sleepers can benefit from pocket coil mattresses:

• Combination sleepers
• Back sleepers
• Side sleepers

Note: A pocket coil mattress is the best choice if you need more pressure relief or sleep with a partner.

The innerspring mattress is one of the most popular mattress types.

Their durability and pressure relief make them a great choice.

In innerspring mattresses, coils are interconnected to form a single unit, which is why it feels like they sink on one side.

The steel coil support base is layered with foam, cotton, or wool for comfort.

Innerspring mattresses are ideal for the following 2 types of sleepers:

• Stomach sleepers
• Back sleepers

Our recommendation for a high-quality innerspring mattress is the Saatva Classic.

Affordable and designed to last, the Saatva Classic is our top pick for 2022.

There is a structural difference between innerspring mattresses and pocket-coil spring mattresses.

Both innerspring mattresses and pocket spring mattresses offer firm support. An innerspring bed, however, provides more generalized support.

You can test out both pocketed coil and innerspring mattresses by asking for a free trial.

A pocket coil mattress provides superior comfort to traditional innerspring mattresses.

Mattress quality should be as important to sleepers as the foam surrounding the coil system. Low-quality mattresses will make sleep uncomfortable.

Innerspring mattresses, on the other hand, are also made from durable materials but have a more traditional feel.

Due to pressure point discomfort and motion transfer issues, innerspring mattresses should be purchased with consideration.

Be smart and take advantage of the free trial period.
