What is the difference between a pocketed coil and a traditional innerspring mattress?
The short video below gives a comparison of different mattress construction.
Hi I am Andrew from Designer Furniture Warehouse and today we are gonna talk about the difference between a traditional innerspring mattress and a pocketed coil mattress. If you notice the support on a traditional innerspring bed is a wired tied coil. Each coil inside the mattress is tied together with a helical steel wire. When you put your weight on the mattress the spring transfers the weight across the bed.
Pocketed Coil Mattress
In a pocketed coil mattress, similar to those produced by Simmons Beautyrest, you will see that each coil is individually pocketed in a fabric sleeve. When you put your weight down on this type of mattress it offers more individualized support to the various areas of your back. As you are laying on the mattress you will notice that the heavier portions your hips and your shoulder will sink further and provide more lift in the center of you torso.
Foam Encased Mattress Edge
The perimeter of many beds are reinforced with a foam edge. This gives you a greater sleeping surface. As you move toward the edge of the bed you have more support. If you are sitting on the edge of the bed it gives you a greater sleeping surface. Some Manufacturers strengthen the edge of the bed with a higher gauge or steel to give you more support and more lift and make the bed last longer over time.
That’s our Mattress Tip for the day.
