With so many varieties of innerspring mattresses available on the market today, it’s hard to know which one is best for your needs. Well, you don't need to keep racking your brain over where you can find the best innerspring mattress anymore! Turmerry has one of the best latex innerspring mattresses you'll find in today's market. With its impeccable support and exquisite comfort, you are in store for some of the best sleep of your life!
There is nothing better than a spring mattress that keeps the sleeper's spine aligned while also providing comfort. Pocketed coils are currently the ideal coil system to provide such features. Based on our observations, pocketed coils offer great levels of support, durability, motion isolation, and noise isolation.
A comfort layer, such as foam or fiberfill, can also help provide pressure relief and improve overall sleep comfort. As per our expertise, latex foam is considered the best comfort layer for almost every sleeper. It conforms very well to the sleeper's body to provide extensive and targeted pressure relief. Also, latex does not have the heat retention or off-gassing issues associated with a memory foam mattress.
Turmerry goes the modern route with its innerspring mattresses. We don't just focus on support but also take comfort into account. This turns our mattress into a hybrid - which is a more evolved version of an innerspring. The Turmerry organic latex hybrid mattress accommodates almost all sleeper types and sleeping positions with ease.
For the support core of our hybrid, we use 8 inches of pocketed coils. Our pocket coil systems contain individually wrapped coils that each provide targeted support to every part of your body. Pocket coils are, as of today, the ideal spring type sought by many.
For the comfort layer of our hybrid, we use 2 inches of Talalay latex foam. The Talalay method of manufacturing latex yields a soft and cushioning end product. And with 2 inches of thickness, this comfort layer can conform well to your body's contours and provide great relief from stressed-out pressure points.
A quick rundown of the benefits you get by choosing a Turmerry hybrid mattress includes -
Impeccable support to the spine’s curvature
Exceptional contouring and pressure relief
Highly breathable and cooling
Long-lasting, often up to 10 years or more
Motion isolating and noiseless
Eco-friendly and tested for harmful levels of chemicals
With all of these benefits in our hybrid mattress, there's pretty much little to no reason why you should opt for something different!
Besides our best organic innerspring mattress, we also have two other foam options for you to choose from!
The natural and organic latex mattress from Turmerry has a natural wool layer, an organic cotton cover, and several layers of Dunlop latex foam. All common US mattress sizes (including split king and split queen) are available, and you can choose your preferred size. For the height, you have the ability to choose 8, 10, or 12 inches of height. A range of firmness options are also available, including soft, medium, firm, and extra-firm.
The egg crate mattress from Turmerry adds an additional layer of egg-crate foam to the plain surface of our all-foam mattress to give it a special twist. Compared to a flat mattress surface, the egg crate foam layer's convoluted structure improves the level of contouring and pressure relief this mattress can provide. It can be customized in a similar fashion to that of its predecessor.
One of the first modern mattress types to exist, innerspring mattresses are renowned for their classic firmness. They have a steel coil-based support core that is covered in padding and fabric. Most of the support is provided by these steel coils, which also give the mattress a firmer feel than other mattress types. The fabric that surrounds it is there to give the impression of softness and cushioning, but it is thin enough not to interfere with the firmness of the coil layers.
The popularity of innerspring mattresses has led to their being widely available in a range of sizes, styles, and firmness levels. Nowadays, finding one that meets your requirements is as simple as conducting standard research.
Taking a more in-depth look at the components of an innerspring, we see -
A coil system: A coil system provides a strong foundation for an innerspring mattress. Among the various types of coils found in innerspring mattresses are Bonnell coils, offset coils, continuous coils, and pocket coils.
The comfort layer(s): The comfort layer(s) of an innerspring are made from materials such as foam, cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers. They are thin enough to preserve firmness, yet thick enough to provide sufficient comfort.
Mattress cover: The two most common choices for an innerspring mattress cover are organic cotton or synthetic polyester. The cover protects the mattress's integrity from outside contaminants without impairing any of the mattress' features.
Innerspring mattresses have long been the go-to for those looking for a firm mattress at a low cost. They are inexpensive, strong, and supportive. It could prove too firm for some, however, and may fail in areas like pressure relief and contouring. Before we get into which innerspring is best, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of innersprings.
The manufacturing process for innersprings has undergone extensive testing for more than a century, and as a result, it now provides a number of noteworthy advantages. These include -
The coils within an innerspring bed provide a solid foundation for the sleeper. By getting sufficient support, the sleeper is able to minimize the risk of spinal misalignment, a condition that is known to worsen back pain.
The coils of an innerspring mattress are essentially springs, and springs are known for having a "bouncy" feel. Heavy people and combination sleepers may benefit from this bounce, which allows them to move around in bed or engage in more active sleep without getting dragged down.
The spring coils within an innerspring mattress are structurally open, allowing them to facilitate undisrupted airflow throughout the night. Unlike memory foam or polyfoam mattresses, innerspring mattresses do not retain heat, which also helps them regulate body temperature and keep you cool at night.
Since they have been around for so long, innerspring mattresses are often found to be less expensive than all-foam mattresses made of memory foam or latex. Their declining popularity in comparison to more modern mattress types may be a contributing factor to their low prices. The cheaper price of producing innersprings can also be held responsible for their affordability.
Innerspring mattresses can be found in many physical stores and online retailers. As a result, they are a convenient option for people who want to try out the features of a mattress before purchasing it. This availability also ensures that there are a variety of options for all budgets and preferences.
Several manufacturers, both past and present, have experimented with selling unique and customizable innersprings. Today, you can customize the coil gauges, coil counts, and configurations of an innerspring to your liking, giving you more flexibility and variety.
Innersprings can be used with a wide range of bed frames, including platform beds, box springs, and adjustable bed bases. For people with varying bed configurations, innersprings offer versatility and convenience. Anytime you need to change your sleep setup, you can always rely on your innerspring mattress to fit in without much fuss.
Innerspring beds are often promoted as a good choice for back and stomach sleepers. They place a strong emphasis on firmness, which provides the support needed to maintain the spine's proper alignment in these sleep positions.
In addition to the numerous advantages of an innerspring, there are a few drawbacks to take into account -
Motion isolation is an important aspect for couples. With this feature, the mattress reduces the transfer of motion from one end to the other. Traditional innersprings struggle to isolate motion well. The springs within an innerspring mattress can cause it to transfer motion at a greater rate than other types of mattresses. The best way to avoid this is to choose pocketed coils, which, of all the spring coils used in an innerspring, provide the best motion isolation.
Inherent firmness is a hallmark of innerspring beds. The core of an innerspring mattress is made up of spring coils, and the fabric covering it is frequently thin. As a result, some individuals feel that innerspring mattresses do not sufficiently conform or relieve pressure. A mattress without either of these can cause pain, particularly in the shoulders, hips, and back.
Most innerspring mattresses (traditional types) have an average lifespan of around 6-7 years, after which you start noticing cracks in their integrity. Innerspring mattresses also tend to wear out more quickly than other mattress types. Sagging, coil fatigue, and/or the breakdown of the comfort layer are all factors that contribute to this. Even with proper care, you may have to replace it sooner rather than later.
Almost all coil types make some noise when you move around on an innerspring mattress. The creaking of the springs can be bothersome for some people, particularly light sleepers, who are awoken by slight changes in their environment.
Innerspring mattresses tend to provide excellent support for side sleepers in order to keep their spine aligned. Side sleepers, however, also need adequate cushioning for their hips and shoulders. In terms of contouring and pressure relief, traditional innerspring beds have a poor reputation. So, if you sleep on your side on an innerspring mattress, you risk waking up in pain and discomfort.
Both natural and artificial materials are used in innersprings. When an innerspring made of synthetic materials is removed from its packaging, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are certain to release. Opting for alternatives like natural latex mattresses will help those who are chemically sensitive.
We investigated the important factors to consider when purchasing the best innerspring mattress. Now, let's look at the important factors you should consider about yourself when purchasing an innerspring mattress.
Considering their greater firmness, traditional innerspring mattresses are best suited for back and stomach sleepers. In both of these positions, the spine needs a firm surface for healthy alignment. Side sleepers, on the other hand, may try soft innerspring mattresses with extra cushioning. Hybrids also suit side sleepers well.
Heavy people, particularly those weighing more than 230 pounds, require a firmer mattress that can support their weight while also providing comfort. Innersprings can be ideal for this purpose, as the springs provide sufficient support and bounce, while a comfort layer provides ample cushioning. For lighter individuals, especially those under 130 pounds, all foam mattresses may be the better choice.
High-end mattresses are always more expensive than their less expensive counterparts. Fortunately, the average person can purchase high-quality innersprings at a reasonable price. A queen-size innerspring mattress of good quality can be found for between $500 and $800, and it will last you for about 6 to 8 years. Anywhere above that price range should net you better materials that offer higher levels of support, comfort, motion isolation, cooling, etc.
When selecting a mattress for couples, motion isolation and size are crucial considerations. Traditional innersprings lack the ability to isolate motion well. Modern innersprings, however, can offer better motion isolation thanks to offset and pocket coils. If you sleep with a partner, the size of the bed is also important (queen, king, or cal king is best for couples, but they also cost more).
People who live in hot, humid climates should look for innersprings that are breathable and cooling. Innersprings inherit a certain level of unrestricted airflow from the spaces between coil layers. However, the comfort material you select may obstruct this. Memory foam, for example, retains heat, whereas latex is extremely breathable.
Temperature regulation is an important aspect to consider for cooling. Wool, for example, can provide significant temperature regulation in both cold and hot climates. If you are seeking the best cooling innerspring mattress, a wise choice would be to look for one that incorporates latex and wool in its design. This combination offers a balanced blend of breathability, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulation, ensuring a cool and comfortable sleep experience in hot and humid climates.
An advantage of innersprings having existed for so long is the fact that there are several types of spring coils available to choose from. The most common types of innerspring coils are -
Shaped like an hourglass, Bonnell coils are tied together with wire to form a simple spring system called a Bonnell unit. These units are often found in traditional innerspring mattresses and provide good support to the sleeper.
The pros of a Bonnell coil include its strong support, affordability, and wide availability. With the coils being interconnected, they remain strong and firm. This feature also gives it strong edge support. And since it is pretty traditional, you can find quality Bonnell coils for a budget price at almost every store.
The cons of a Bonnell coil include its lack of motion isolation, durability, and comfort. The interconnected model of a Bonnell unit means it will transfer motion when your partner moves around. Bonnell coils can also wear out quicker than some other coils and may be prone to raising noise.
Offset coils are similar to Bonnell coils in design. They do, however, have a hinged design that conforms better to the body and provides more targeted support. Offset coils are commonly used in high-end, luxury innerspring mattresses due to their benefits.
Offset coils offer improved contouring, better support, and greater motion isolation than some other types of innerspring coils. Their design allows them to respond better to your body weight and absorb motion without transferring it. Offset coils also create less noise than Bonnell.
Offset coils can be more expensive and less available, leading to an overall increase in the price of the innerspring mattress. They may also not provide the same level of pressure relief as all-foam or hybrid mattresses. And while they do provide a certain amount of motion isolation, it doesn't compare to that of pocketed coils.
Continuous coils, as the name would suggest, are continuous and are formed out of a single wire. This wire is fastened to the mattress's sides and extends from the top to the bottom of the mattress. Continuous coil systems are inexpensive and are often found in entry-level innerspring mattresses.
The continuous wire system is highly affordable and widely available due to its inexpensive construction method. The design also makes it a durable and supportive option for consumers. It can also provide motion isolation to some extent.
Though continuous coils are supportive, they do not provide the same levels of contouring as pocketed or offset coils. The level of motion isolation and noiselessness provided isn't comparatively that great either.
Pocket coils, also known as Marshall coils, are individual coils that are each wrapped in fabric and then sewn or glued into a pocket. These individually wrapped coils are currently one of the best coil types on the market and are often found in higher-end innerspring mattresses.
Each individual pocket coil is able to provide exquisite support and contouring to the sleeper's body. In other words, you get personalized comfort and pressure relief for every part of the body that comes in contact with a pocket coil. Besides their superior contouring and support, they also isolate motion very well, as the coils are independent of one another. Their quality and design also make them durable and long-lasting.
For all of their benefits, pocketed coils are one of the most expensive coil types available today. They are exclusively found in high-end innerspring beds and often in hybrid mattresses as well.
Microcoils are thin, transitional layers of coils, often around 1-3 inches in height. They are typically found in expensive innerspring mattresses and are positioned above the primary coil system to add comfort and additional pressure relief.
Microcoils help the mattress as a whole provide more pressure relief, better contouring, and targeted support to various body parts. They can also help the mattress last longer by reducing wear and tear on the primary spring layer.
Microcoils add to the overall cost of the mattress and may not be as widely available in your area. They may sometimes be added to the overall coil count of the mattress too, which can mislead buyers. Microcoils can also fail to provide greater comfort and firmness than a foam comfort layer/transitional layer.
A higher coil count in a spring mattress is considered desirable. Increasing the coil count increases the overall support provided by the mattress. Higher coil counts also provide more durability for an innerspring mattress. Coil counts are usually determined by a mattress's size. For a queen-sized mattress, 400 coils are the minimum recommended. Anything above or below queen size will have different recommended coil counts.
Sleeping on a spring mattress without some form of comfort is akin to sleeping on a river bed without water. Most high-quality innerspring mattresses have various types of comfort layers on top of their coil system. These include -
A pillow top is a type of mattress top that is sewn onto the top of the mattress, usually with the aim of providing extra cushioning. It is made of plush materials such as foam, fiberfill, and down and can range from 2-4 inches in thickness. An innerspring bed with a pillowtop can even be suitable for side sleepers.
Though pillow tops are added for extra contouring and pressure relief, some people may find them too soft. This can lead to back pain or other sleep-related issues. Furthermore, because the pillow top is sewn into the mattress, it can be difficult to replace if it is damaged.
Euro tops are kind of similar to pillow tops, but with a few key differences. A euro top is typically made of higher-quality materials and sits flush against the mattress's edges. This gives it a more streamlined and uniform appearance than a pillow top, which can have a visible bulge.
The edges of euro tops are typically firmer than the center, whereas the softness of a pillow top is consistent across its surface. A euro top can support sleepers more effectively due to its increased firmness and density. Furthermore, because euro tops are constructed from better-quality materials, they may last longer than pillow tops.
Memory foam is a synthetic material that is famous for providing excellent contouring. Memory foam can conform remarkably well to the body of the sleeper by absorbing heat and pressure from it. Over time, it adapts to your body and remembers it, thus the name "memory foam." Besides relieving pressure points, memory foam can also reduce motion transfer.
But there are drawbacks to memory foam, too. Some people might object to the material's synthetic composition. The two biggest issues with traditional memory foam are heat retention and VOC off-gassing. The cost of memory foam may also be higher than that of other comfort layers. Gel- or copper-infused memory foam can help alleviate some of these problems.
Many of memory foam's drawbacks are mitigated by latex. To begin with, latex is made from rubber trees, making it environmentally friendly. Then there's the combination of cushioning and support it offers, making it a good choice for almost every sleeper type and sleeping position. All of these benefits, combined with latex's cooling, motion isolation, and durability, make it an excellent long-term investment as a comfort layer. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining the material, latex foam can be costly.
Two important aspects of every spring-type mattress are its coil count and coil gauge. They both play a role in determining how supportive and comfortable an innerspring will be.
The number of coils in an innerspring bed is referred to as the coil count. It can range from 400 to 1200 and is usually proportional to the size of the mattress. Sometimes, the coil count may also depend on the coil type. For instance, pocketed coil systems typically have smaller coils, so more coils are needed.
Generally speaking, the higher the coil count, the greater the level of support you receive. If you're a heavy person or prefer sleeping on your back or stomach, then higher coil counts should suit you best.
The thickness of the coils found inside an innerspring is referred to as the coil gauge. It is calculated as a number that can be anywhere between 12 and 15 or more. The coils will be thicker as the coil gauge number decreases. A mattress with thick coils is always firm, sturdy, and long-lasting. Contrarily, thinner coils provide more cushioning but at the expense of reduced durability and a greater risk of sagging.
For average sleepers, a gauge number of 14 is considered standard and advised. A gauge number of 14 or 15 will provide better cushioning, contouring, and pressure relief for lighter people. A gauge number of 12 or 13 will provide heavier people with better support and firmness.
Purchasing an innerspring mattress and expecting to sleep comfortably is never a good idea if you do not already have certain additional accessories. These include -
The ideal pillow provides excellent support to your head, neck, and spine, keeping them in proper alignment. It is also breathable, so it keeps you cool on both sides. To find the best pillow for you, we must consider three simple factors: size, loft, and material. If you are a large person with broad shoulders, a larger pillow size and loft should be ideal for you. For light sleepers with narrow shoulders, the opposite is true.
For material, you can choose from a variety of options like down, down alternatives, latex, memory foam, buckwheat, etc. Certain materials, like latex, provide a harmony of support and comfort along with excellent cooling. Others, like memory foam, offer better contouring but have a tendency to trap heat.
A mattress topper is a material layer that can be added on top of a mattress to alter its features. Toppers are available in a variety of materials and designs. Latex, memory foam, wool, cotton, and bamboo can all be used to make mattress toppers. They're either pieces of foam, as with latex and memory foam, or they're filled with fibers of materials like cotton, wool, and bamboo.
Nowadays, you can change the thickness (usually 2-4 inches), firmness (plush soft to luxury firm), and size (all standard US sizes) of a mattress topper. Greater thickness and firmness ensure better support. Make sure the size of your topper corresponds to the size of your mattress.
Mattress protectors encase your mattress and protect it from outside impurities. There are various types of mattress protectors, some with different designs and others with different materials. The three most common types of mattress protectors are encasement, elastic strap, and fitted. They can be made from materials like cotton, latex, polyurethane, wool, polyester, etc.
When it comes to choosing the best mattress protector, there are several factors to consider, including the material, waterproofing, breathability, and fit. Check that the material is comfortable for you and that the protector does not interfere with the benefits of the mattress.
Bed bases exist to provide a solid foundation beneath your mattress. There are numerous types of bed bases to select from. Broadly speaking, there are mattress foundations and bed frames. Mattress foundations are often sturdy, made of metal or wooden slats, and designed to sit underneath a mattress to provide a stable and even surface. Mattress foundations include things like box springs and slatted foundations.
Bed frames, such as platform beds, typically include a headboard, footboard, and side rails. They are designed to provide an overall structure and aesthetic for the bed. Bed frames can come in various materials, such as wood, metal, or upholstered fabric. Along with standard bed frames, adjustable bed frames are now available. While a mattress foundation can be used on its own, a bed frame typically requires a foundation or box spring to support the mattress.
Taking care of your mattress on a regular basis can keep it free and away from contaminants that destroy its integrity.
You can maintain a well-kept, long-lasting mattress by simply vacuuming off the crumbs and dust and spot-cleaning any liquid spills every week or so. In addition to being dangerous to sleep on, a dirty mattress will quickly lose many of its key qualities.
By rotating your mattress every six months, you can prevent permanent sagging and indentations. If the mattress is too heavy for you to lift, don't hesitate to ask someone for assistance.
The process of airing out mattresses involves placing your mattress in a well-ventilated area. Moisture and dust will be driven out of the mattress by the air that passes through it. Try to prop the mattress against a wall so that neither of the two sides you sleep on is blocked from receiving air.
A mattress protector is an additional outer cover, typically constructed of cotton or polyester, that surrounds the mattress and shields it from external contaminants. Using a protector will prevent contaminants like dust, dirt, moisture, bacteria, and more from getting inside the mattress, extending the mattress's lifespan, and simplifying your cleaning tasks.
Avoid exposing your mattress to direct sunlight, avoid using your mattress before it's fully dry, avoid using harsh detergents like hydrogen peroxide, avoid hand-washing/machine-washing any of the foam layers or the mattress cover, and avoid exposing the mattress to high heat (such as placing it in a dryer).
Although more modern varieties of mattresses, like latex and memory foam, have become more well-liked recently, innerspring mattresses are still a popular choice for many people who prefer a conventional sleeping surface. Innersprings are renowned for their superior level of support and low cost. They now also come in a variety of firmness levels to accommodate various sleeping preferences.
Coil mattresses can be a good option for certain people. They provide sleepers with a higher level of support and firmness due to their springs. This may be the best option for heavy people who sleep on their backs or stomachs. Since coil mattresses allow for more airflow and can help regulate body temperature, they are sometimes recommended for hot sleepers as well.
To lump all innerspring mattresses together and call them "the best" would not be appropriate for everyone reading this article. The best innerspring mattress may differ for each individual. As such, we will recommend what you should look for in an innerspring mattress to ensure that you get the best one.
An innerspring bed has four prominent coil systems: Bonnell, offset, continuous, and pocket. Each of them has distinctive qualities that make them stand out. However, Bonnell, offset, and continuous are all part of the traditional innerspring mattress market. Offset coils can be considered a bit more modern, as they offer some great benefits over Bonnell and continuous.
Pocketed coils are currently the best coil system for an innerspring. Because each pocket coil is self-contained, it can act freely and provide personalized comfort and support to your body. Innersprings with pocket coils outperform other coil types in terms of support, bounce, and comfort.
The independence of each pocket coil also allows the coil system to better contain motion transfer and noise. Finally, the fabric used to sew each case ensures that it will last a long time. According to us, the best innerspring mattresses would have a pocketed coil construction (along with maybe a layer of micro coils).
To make any coil system ideal for you, consider its coil count and coil gauge. The coil count determines the number of coils in a system. The coil gauge is a number that decides how thick the coils will be.
A higher coil count is often considered to be indicative of a high-quality innerspring mattress. As a general rule of thumb, you should aim for at least 400 coils in a queen-sized mattress. Yep, the size of the mattress can be a good indicator of how many coils you need. As you progress from queen to king or cal king size, look for coil counts greater than 400. A higher coil count may also be required for certain coil types, such as pocketed coils.
The coil gauge is another factor that influences the coil count. You can usually choose a gauge number between 12 and 15. The higher the coil gauge number, the thinner the coils. Thinner coils provide greater cushioning but less support. Thus, to compensate for the lack of support, you may need to increase the coil count as you increase the coil gauge number.
In general, a lower coil count and higher gauge (thinner wire) will provide a softer feel. Conversely, a higher coil count and lower gauge (thicker wire) will offer more support and durability. For the majority of people, a coil count of 600–1,000 and a gauge of 13–15 are thought to be sufficient and will offer a good compromise between support and comfort.
The retailer will determine the material of the coils as well as the caliber of the mattress. Tempered steel coils, which are regarded as incredibly strong and supportive, will be present in a good, high-quality innerspring mattress. Tempered steel is steel that has been heated below its melting point and then cooled. Repeating this process improves the steel's properties by increasing its strength and roughness.
The comfort layer of an innerspring mattress is present to ensure adequate contouring and pressure relief for the sleeper. Memory foam, latex, wool, and cotton are the most popular comfort materials.
Memory foam contours well, but it can emit VOCs and retain heat. Wool is an excellent temperature regulator, and it is organic, so it contains no VOCs. Cotton is soft and plush, but it may not be as durable as other fabrics. Latex provides excellent bounce, cooling, comfort, and support but is more expensive.
Natural latex, organic cotton, or organic wool are excellent choices for an eco-friendly experience. Memory foam is ideal if you don't mind synthetic materials and want a highly contouring comfort layer. We recommend latex as the best comfort material.
When considering the materials for a mattress, many people overlook the importance of the cover material. After all, it is the outermost layer that you interact with first! It is essential to have a mattress cover that provides your skin with a smooth, comfortable experience.
High-quality innerspring mattresses have covers made of long-lasting, breathable materials. Cotton, wool, rayon, and polyester are some of the most common materials used for innerspring mattress covers.
Organic cotton is a popular choice for a mattress cover, as it is pretty soft, breathable, and easy to care for. Another excellent material is wool, which naturally wicks away moisture and can help control temperature. Rayon, which is a semi-synthetic material made from cellulose, is often blended with other materials to create a soft and durable cover.
Edge support is a feature of an innerspring mattress that prevents you from falling off the edge. Edge support is essential if you frequently find yourself sleeping or sitting on the edge of your bed. It can keep you safe while you sleep and after you wake up. Edge support can also be beneficial for couples who share a bed and want to maximize their sleeping surface.
To achieve edge support, innerspring manufacturers typically add an extra row or two of coils around the edges of the mattress. This should suffice for the vast majority of people. Other typical edge support mechanisms for innerspring mattresses include foam encasing and reinforced border rods. Foam encasement entails wrapping a layer of high-density foam around the mattress's edge. Reinforced border rods are metal rods that are inserted into the mattress's sides.
Firmness is largely determined by you and your preferences. Innerspring mattresses are usually known to be firmer than other mattress types. However, a lot of their firmness levels can now be altered. A medium-firm innerspring bed should be ideal for average-weight sleepers who like to mix up their sleeping positions.
If you are a heavy person who prefers to sleep on your stomach or back, a firm innerspring mattress should provide adequate support. If you are light and prefer to sleep on your side, a softer mattress may be beneficial. The medium firm option is usually best for the majority of sleepers. It provides the ideal balance of support and comfort, and it can accommodate combination sleeping much better than other firmness levels.
Traditional innerspring mattresses were not known for their ability to isolate motion. In fact, they transferred more motion than they isolated. Modern innersprings, with their new spring coil models, are much better at motion isolation.
Pocketed coils are the ideal coil type for those seeking the best motion isolation. Offset and continuous coils provide motion isolation to some extent. Bonnell is not recommended for people looking for motion isolation. Choosing a higher coil count and a good comfort layer, such as memory foam or latex, can also help improve an innerspring's motion isolation.
Pocket coils also remain on top for noise reduction. Offset coils outperform Bonnell and continuous coils in noise reduction, but trail pocketed coils.
The durability of a coil is determined by its material quality, coil count, coil thickness, and coil type. Tempered steel coils and latex foam are extremely long-lasting. The higher the coil count and coil thickness, the more durable the mattress becomes. In addition, pocketed coils are more durable than Bonnell, offset, and continuous coils. Taking good care of your mattress can help it last longer and protect your investment.
In terms of warranty, aim for at least 5-10 years of coverage. A reputable retailer will provide you with warranty protection against defects and premature sagging. Always read the warranty carefully and understand what is covered. The limitations and requirements for filing a claim may differ depending on the retailer.
Innerspring mattresses are considered to be more affordable than latex and memory foam. They have been around for a long time, and there are many models to choose from, depending on your budget. In today's market, a good quality innerspring mattress costs between $500 and $1,500. You can even find a high-end luxury innerspring mattress for $2,000 or more if you're looking for one.
Higher coil counts, thicker coils, and more sophisticated comfort materials tend to be more expensive in innerspring mattresses. Brand and retailer markup can also affect the price, necessitating comparison shopping before making a purchase. The best-priced innerspring mattresses are those that fit your budget while also meeting all of your comfort and support needs.
Retailers are classified into two types: online and offline. We'll take an in-depth look at both and compare them later on in the article. In this section, we will discuss what factors make a retailer the best for innerspring shopping. In general, we recommend that you buy from a retailer with a good reputation among its customers.
They should have positive customer feedback, high product ratings, clear return policies, and lengthy warranties.Test the reliability of such brands' customer service, and you'll almost certainly receive prompt responses to your inquiries. They will also have competitive pricing that is reasonable in relation to the quality of their products.
Today, there are five major mattress types on the market. These include hybrid mattresses, memory foam mattresses, latex mattresses, innerspring mattresses, and air mattresses. We all know that innersprings provide a solid, firm feel. Let's see how it compares to other mattress types!
Hybrid mattresses are the wealthy cousins of innerspring mattresses. Why? Because they are built in a similar manner to innersprings, but with a focus on higher-quality materials and better benefits.
For its spring layer, a hybrid mattress employs pocketed or offset coils. These two offer greater support, bounce, motion isolation, and noiselessness. They also work well with a hybrid's thicker comfort layers to provide an exquisite balance of comfort and support. A hybrid's comfort layers are typically made of latex or memory foam.
When it comes to contouring and pressure relief, hybrids win hands down. This is also true for noise and motion isolation, as the thick comfort layers absorb more of both. Support-wise, both innersprings and hybrids can be good. Hybrids, however, tend to be more expensive than traditional innerspring mattresses, due to the additional materials they contain and the higher quality of their construction.
A memory foam mattress follows an all-foam construction. Different layers of high- and low-density memory foam are conjoined and wrapped in fabric. Because of its all-foam construction and excellent ability to contour, this type of mattress is excellent for relieving pressure.
But what is “memory foam”? Memory foam is a synthetic material obtained by making polyurethane, a type of plastic, more dense and viscous. It was first used to cushion pilots in a NASA project sometime in the 1970s. Memory foam absorbs body heat and weight and then conforms to the contours of the user's body.
Memory foams are better known for their comfort than support. Innersprings are better known for their support than their comfort. Traditional memory foam has two major flaws: it retains heat and emits VOCs. Both of these issues can be easily addressed by an innerspring mattress made of natural materials. Memory foam does excel over innerspring when it comes to motion isolation. But innersprings are generally more affordable than memory foam.
Latex mattresses, too, follow an all-foam construction similar to memory foam. But latex focuses more on providing a balance between comfort and support, much like a hybrid mattress does.
Natural latex is, in its purest form, liquid rubber obtained from rubber trees. There are two methods for converting it into foam layers: Dunlop and Talalay. Dunlop latex is denser and firmer than Talalay latex, making it an excellent choice for the support core. Talalay latex is frequently used in hybrids as a comfort layer. Aside from natural latex, there are synthetic and blended latexes. They both contain chemicals and are less beneficial than natural latex.
Latex mattresses can provide excellent support as well as excellent cushioning. They outperform innersprings in terms of responsiveness, contouring, pressure relief, motion isolation, and noise reduction. Latex mattresses are also much more durable than innerspring mattresses, often lasting up to 15-20 years with proper care. However, natural latex is an expensive material, so latex mattresses are generally more expensive than innerspring mattresses.
An air mattress uses air chambers as its support core. Luxury air beds may even have comfort layers on top of them. Air mattresses, in contrast to the other mattress types we've discussed, are frequently used for short-term sleeping arrangements. For example, air mattresses are ideal for entertaining guests or going camping.
Air mattresses are made of synthetic materials such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), vinyl, nylon, and textile-reinforced plastic/rubber. You can fill up an air mattress with an external pump or an in-built pump. Higher-priced airbeds include built-in pumps, which make it much easier to inflate the mattress. External pumps offer more versatility.
Despite their portability and adaptability, air mattresses are not suggested for long-term use. Over time, they do not provide as much comfort or support as an innerspring mattress would. Air mattresses can also lose their durability at any time, since tears often render them useless. They are, however, much cheaper and more affordable than innersprings. You can find a good-quality air mattress for as little as $200-$400.
Since the advent of online shopping, there are many places where a customer can purchase a mattress. Online mattress shopping is, in our opinion, the best way to buy an innerspring mattress. Not only is it extremely convenient, but you also gain access to a wide range of mattress models, brands, and customizable options. Online retailers can also offer great sales and discounts year-round, as they have lower overhead costs.
However, don't limit yourself to just online retailers. It's a good idea to understand what type of innerspring you want, try them out in physical stores, and then order them online. You can test out the mattress before you buy it, saving you the time and energy of returning it if it doesn't suit you.
Every month of the year can be a good time to buy an innerspring mattress. When you know where to look for these opportunities, you can even find a high-quality mattress for a reasonable price!

Sales and promotions are, debatably, the best times to find an innerspring mattress on the cheap. They are strategically placed during popular shopping periods, and you can find at least one every month. For the most influential sales and promotions, just look out for important holidays or events like Memorial Day, Presidents' Day, Labor Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.
Note: Some mattress sale periods are more popular than others, prompting better discounts. Here is a more in-depth guide on the best time to buy a mattress.
New mattress models are often introduced during the months of March, April, and May. Some brands also released their new models just before the new year. When newer models of innersprings hit the market, older models are put on sale, so retailers can reduce their inventory. You'll be able to grab a good quality innerspring for a lower price during these times.
Some mattress retailers will offer discounts on their mattresses at the end of a month or quarter. This leads to an increase in sales, which can help them meet their monthly or quarterly targets. And, for you, it results in cheaper innerspring mattresses.
Mattress retailers will get rid of the older models when there isn't enough room to stock the new ones. As a result, there are clearance sales to move the outdated inventory more quickly. Clearance sales don't happen frequently, but when they do, you definitely don't want to miss them. They are brand specific. So, if you keep good contact with your local mattress retailers as well as online mattress brands, you'll be notified when it goes down.
