Sprung Mattress

Most mattresses contain some type of spring system deep inside, generally speaking the more springs a mattress contains the greater support it will offer. Although manufacturers offer differing variations, there are basically two different types of spring systems used in mattresses today:

Coiled Springs

Coiled Springs

The robust coiled or continuous spring systems are specifically designed to evenly distribute body weight over the surface of the mattress. Although each manufacturer varies the technology, they all feature row upon row of springs linked together with a spiral wire, which ensures the mattress retains its shape throughout its life.

Pocket Springs

Pocket Springs

Generally considered to more luxurious, these smaller lighter springs are individually wrapped in fabric pockets and work independently from one another. Imagine thousands of tiny pistons constantly adjusting and conforming to your body contours, ensuring complete support and comfort from head to toe.

Other types of mattresses

Whilst sprung mattresses are by far the most common, there are other types available which offer an excellent alternative:

Natural Latex

Natural Latex

Developed by Dunlopillo over 75 years ago, latex offers users with a list of unique benefits. Latex is hypo-allergenic and its anti-microbial properties inhibit bacteria, fungi and house dust mites - so can be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from respiratory problems. Latex also conforms perfectly to your body's contours for superb comfort, neck and back support.

Memory Foam (Visco Elastic)

Memory Foam (Visco Elastic)

First used by NASA during the shuttle space programme, technologically advanced memory foam responds to body heat and weight to support you perfectly, relieving pressure points and helping relieve symptoms of backache, painful joints and circulatory problems.
