Choosing The Right Bedding: Discover All The Advantages Of Spring Mattresses!

Currently, spring mattresses are not very common in France (foam or latex mattresses are preferred), unlike in Great Britain, where they are very popular for their soft and firm feel. What exactly is a spring mattress? Why are they recommended? How to choose them? Follow the Ecomatelas guide!

 

What Is A Spring Mattress?

A spring mattress is a best mattress whose core is composed of an assembly of small springs, surrounded by a layer of latex or foam. Rest assured: the spring mattress will not make you bounce out of bed if you fall on it! On the contrary, it is a technology developed to create a mattress that provides maximum support for optimal comfort.

 

There Are Three Types Of Spring Mattresses:

Biconical spring mattresses: also called conical or bonnel springs, they have an hourglass or X shape and are connected by small steel wires. This technology was invented in the 19th century and was particularly widespread in the 1970s and 1980s. The filling of this type of mattress is made of natural or synthetic insulating materials (cotton, wool, foam, wadding, etc.). Featuring very good comfort and optimal ventilation, biconical spring mattresses nevertheless have the disadvantage of easily deforming over time (they sag and sleepers can feel the springs).

Multi-coil spring mattresses: unlike biconical springs, multi-coil springs are interwoven and connected only by a single steel wire, and form a kind of spiral or coil along the entire length of the best mattress. These mattresses are also appreciated for their great support, their significant firmness and their very good ventilation. They are even recommended for people who suffer from blood circulation problems, because by increasing the number of pressure points in the body, they promote the circulation of the sleepers’ blood. On the other hand, they also tend to settle over time and do not promote sleeping independence.

Pocket spring mattresses: this is the most innovative technology in spring mattresses. Unlike the previous ones, the pocket springs are not connected together by a wire, but individually wrapped in a fabric envelope. Stability, comfort, sleeping independence, ventilation, durability… There are many reasons to opt for pocket spring best mattresses!

Focus On Pocket Springs, Which Combine Comfort And Resistance

Did you know? On average, a sleeper turns over in bed… many times. Fortunately, due to their individual wrapping, the pocket springs can move independently of each other and adapt to all movements, while offering perfect sleeping independence.

 

As each spring can respond individually to the pressure exerted on it, pocket springs are known for their ideal orthopedic support: they facilitate the maintenance and proper alignment of the spine and body while promoting good blood circulation.

 

Finally, the independent packing of the pocket springs allows them to be well protected, and therefore to slow down the natural wear of the mattress: pocket spring mattresses are among the beds that have the longest lifespan. Our tip: the higher the number of springs, the better the body pressure will be distributed, and the more you can extend the life of your mattress.

 

In other words, pocket spring mattresses have all the advantages of spring mattresses, while perfectly overcoming their disadvantages through increased durability and sleeping independence!

 

6 good reasons to opt for spring mattresses! Spring mattresses, whether biconical, multi-coil or pocket springs, have many advantages:

 

Their robustness: the springs allow the weight of the sleeper’s body to be distributed over the entire bed, spring mattresses are very resistant to shocks and pressure. They are therefore particularly suitable for people with an imposing morphology;

Their perfect ventilation: the springs are conducive to the circulation of air within the mattress, which allows the evacuation of humidity possibly caused by perspiration and preserves the integrity of the mattress in the long term;

Their thermoregulatory properties: the good ventilation of spring mattresses also allows the regulation of body heat to sleep at a perfect temperature, summer and winter!

Their hygiene: as mattresses do not retain humidity, they are not conducive to the development of bacteria or the appearance of mites or the accumulation of dust. They are therefore very healthy, in addition to being hypoallergenic;

Their firmness: people who appreciate firm and comfortable support will be won over by these mattresses, which vary from firm to very firm depending on the number of springs. However, if you want to invest in a soft bed, it is always possible to combine different technologies, for example by combining springs and latex for maximum comfort!

Their accessibility: there are spring mattresses for all types of budgets. This is particularly true for reconditioned mattresses, which are 3 times cheaper on average!

Spring Mattresses: What Precautions Should You Know?

The first thing to know is that a spring mattress does not fold or roll. Unlike foam mattresses which are easily flexible, spring mattresses contain more or less rigid rods that should not be twisted under any circumstances. Otherwise, you risk damaging the suspensions and losing all the comfort of the mattress!
