Pocket Coil vs. Traditional Innerspring Mattresses: What Sets Them Apart?
Your old mattress has seen better days, and it’s time for an upgrade. You want a bed that offers superior comfort, durability, and value. But with so many options out there, how do you cut through the noise and choose the best one?
At Mobile Mattress, we often get asked about the difference between pocket coil mattresses and traditional innerspring beds. While both rely on steel coil support systems, they differ significantly in comfort, durability, and design.
Let’s break down the key differences so you can make an informed choice.
Regular Innerspring vs. Pocket Coil: Key Differences
If you're not well-versed in mattress construction, you’re not alone! Most people know that mattresses contain springs, but they don’t realise that not all coils are created equal.
Traditional innerspring mattresses are built with a network of interconnected coils, meaning movement on one part of the bed is felt everywhere. Pocketed coils, on the other hand, are individually wrapped in fabric and work independently, delivering customised support and reduced motion transfer.
Here’s why pocketed coil mattresses stand out:
1. Built for Long-Lasting Comfort
-
Traditional coils have an hourglass shape, which creates weak points that break down over time.
-
Pocketed coils maintain a consistent shape from top to bottom, reducing wear and tear.
-
The result? A mattress that holds its shape and support for years.
2. Superior Sleep Support
-
Traditional springs push back against your body, leading to uneven pressure points.
-
Pocketed coils contour to your shape, evenly distributing weight and reducing pressure on your back, shoulders, and hips.
-
This means better spinal alignment and less tossing and turning.
3. Ideal for Couples (and Light Sleepers!)
-
Regular spring mattresses bounce and squeak, often disturbing your sleep.
-
Pocketed coils work independently, significantly reducing motion transfer—so if your partner moves, you won’t feel it!
-
No more waking up from every little movement.
4. More Affordable Than You Think
-
Once considered a luxury, pocketed coil mattresses are now competitively priced.
-
While they may cost slightly more than a basic innerspring bed, their longer lifespan and superior comfort make them a better long-term investment.
