What is a pocket spring mattress?

A pocket spring mattress is a mattress filled with steel springs. These springs are individually packed in bags (the pockets). Such a bag ensures that each spring can adjust independently of all the other springs to the pressure that is exerted on it. The bag also ensures that the springs do not get mixed up when the mattress bends. A foam rubber edge is placed around the entire package with pockets and springs, so that the pockets are kept together.

Disadvantages of pocket springs

Of course, a pocket spring mattress is not suitable for everyone. For years, the pocket mattress has been the most sold in the Netherlands, but there are also some disadvantages to this material for mattresses. We will list the most important disadvantages here!

In hospitals you will never find pocket spring mattresses, because despite the fact that this material ventilates very well, more dust still enters the mattress than with other materials. Not so bad if you are not sensitive to that, but in places where hygiene is very important, you better choose a different mattress.

A pocket spring mattress also has transition zones. This means that a new zone starts from one centimeter to the next. They do not gradually merge into each other, as with a cold foam or memory foam mattress. These zones must therefore match your body type exactly!
