Pocket Spring vs Bonnell Spring
25th January 2022Love a spring mattress but not sure which one to pick, herewith a few tips to help you choose the right Mattress.
Individually fabric wrapped springs with no connection between the adjacent coils. Compression and relaxation of the coils occur independently.
Benefits:
- Less movement transfer, once force is applied only the compressed springs will move and not the surrounding springs, providing an undisturbed night’s sleep.
- Firmness levels are high due to the high spring tension, this will help ease back pain.
- Provides pressure relief.
Bonnell springs are interconnected so they move together ensuring a longer lifetime.
Benefits:
- Bonnell springs are not covered, allowing better air circulation that provides a cooler surface.
- No uneven sagging of the mattress
- Bonnel springs are more cost effective.
Differences:
Pocket Spring
Individual pockets
Softer
Less Airflow
Edge Support
No motion transfer
Bonnell Spring
Interconnected
Soft with a Foam Layer
Plenty Airflow
Edge Support
Motion Transfer
Bonnell springs are interconnected and will move together when springs are compressed, where as only the individually compressed springs on the pocket spring will move.
Pocket spring and Bonnell spring mattresses are both covered with a thick foam layer. For additional softness a soft foam or memory foam layer will be added to give you a plusher feel.
Both mattresses allow airflow but this will not keep it cool all day long as it does not have any special cooling technology.
Firmness of the mattress depends on the number of springs used. The more spring in the bed the firmer it becomes.
Both mattresses provides edge support to maintain the shape of the mattress.
