Should I consider a pocket sprung double mattress?
When you’re on the search for a new bed frame and mattress, the first thing you need to consider is what size mattress is best suited for your bedroom. Ideally, you’ll end up in a scenario where your bed occupies the majority of space whilst still allowing plenty of room for other furniture.
A double bed is compatible with the majority of rooms and is often considered the ‘go to’ bed size. Although, with the luxury of a spacious bedroom, you may prefer a king size mattress. On the other hand, a small double pocket sprung mattress may be better suited for a small bedroom. If you’re unsure of the best fit for your room, try measuring your available space and cross-referencing this with the dimensions of your preferred bed.
Pocket springs
Pocket springs refer to the mattress’s composition. Each spring features within a fabric sleeve and reacts independently and in accordance with movements. With this in mind, you can expect targeted support and fantastic pressure relief throughout the night. The other notable benefit of pocket springs is their motion isolation properties; any movements elsewhere on the mattress won’t disrupt your night’s rest.
The higher the pocket spring count, the greater support and comfort, for example, a 2000 pocket sprung double mattress is regarded as a more premium option than a mattress featuring 1000 springs.
What tension should I choose?
For side sleepers
For side sleepers, we suggest choosing a soft or medium mattress. These mattresses provide cushioned hip and shoulder support.
For combination sleepers
If you like to alternate between front, back, and side sleeping, a medium firm mattress is the perfect choice. These mattresses feature a tension soft enough to support side sleepers while also firm enough to provide adequate spinal support for front and back sleeping.
For front and back sleepers
Front and back sleepers will benefit from firm or extra firm mattresses. The firm sleeping surface allows for even weight distribution and adequate spinal support.
