Pocket Spring or Bonnell Spring? The Secret to Choosing the Right Mattress

What is a Pocket Spring?

Pocket springs are an advanced spring system where each spring is individually encased in fabric pockets. This design allows the springs to move independently, meaning that pressure applied to one area does not affect the rest of the mattress. This feature is especially beneficial for couples, as one person’s movement does not disturb the other. Additionally, pocket springs distribute body weight evenly, offering ergonomic support and enhanced comfort.

What is a Bonnell Spring?

Bonnell springs are the traditional system made from interconnected steel coils arranged in a helix shape. They are known for their durability and cost-effectiveness, making them one of the most widely used systems in mattress manufacturing. Bonnell spring mattresses provide a firmer sleeping surface and are ideal for those who prefer solid support at an affordable price point.
