Best Traditional Spring Mattresses

Traditional spring mattresses are constructed from a series of connected springs with a border rod of wire for additional support. These springs cover the entire sleeping area and lie beneath layers of fabric and a foam mattress topper, meaning you’ll have a comfortable night’s sleep without damaging your muscles or putting pressure on your joints.

A traditional spring mattress provides terrific value for money as well as comfort. This makes them the perfect option for any bedroom.

(1) What are the benefits of an open spring mattress?

The main benefit of open spring mattresses is the support that they offer. This is especially useful if you’re prone to back problems or have vulnerable pressure points. Because of their sturdy structure, a spring mattress can avoid gradual misalignment of your spine. Not only this, but an open spring mattress can be tailored to your needs and comes in a variety of comfort grades depending on your preferences. Most traditional spring mattresses contain metal coils that run through the width of the mattress to provide support, whereas some brands run the coils from head to foot to prevent “roll together”.

(2) Choosing your spring mattress comfort grade

All traditional spring mattresses will help your joints and offer a cosy night’s sleep. However, which comfort grade you opt for should mainly depend on your sleeping position:

The medium comfort grade offers both soft cushioning and support to ensure protected pressure points. This type of mattress is best for those who sleep on their front and their back, as it allows your spine to keep its natural curve.

The firm and very firm mattress grades are recommended for back sleepers, as those who sleep on their back need the most support for their spine. Despite being labelled ‘firm’, this type of mattress still offers soft cushioning and a comfortable night’s sleep.

(5) How long do spring mattresses last?

The ASA says the type of mattress matters when it comes to how long a bed will last. Mattresses made with latex, as well as those made with polyfoam or memory foam, are more likely to last for 10 years. Innerspring beds tend to break down before the 10-year mark because the springs may lose their elasticity sooner.

Memory foam mattresses are more durable than spring mattresses. Body oils and dirt do not build up within a foam mattress as quickly as they do in a spring mattress. Therefore, they do not attract dust mites and break down much slower. A high-quality memory foam bed will last around 8 to 10 years.
