Here are four types of mattress: pocket sprung, open sprung, orthopaedic and foam. Each mattress type has its own merits and some types of mattress cannot be successfully used with some types of bed, so please ask for our advice if you’re not sure.

Pocket Sprung: The most luxurious in feel, offering ideal body support and comfort. Individual pocketed springs are linked together in a honeycomb pattern. They move individually as they compress and expand enabling them to adjust separately to your body shape and weight.

Open Sprung: A less expensive alternative to the pocket spring. The open springs are all hinged together preventing spring noise and spreading the bodyweight evenly over the complete surface of the mattress. The Koziflex spring system is different to traditional Bonnell open coil springs as there are more than twice the number of springs providing a denser sleeping surface.

Orthopaedic: An orthopaedic mattress is a bit of a misnomer really. Essentially, it's an extra firm mattress - and that could be too firm for your needs!

Foam: The old style cheap foam mattresses with which many of us are familiar are about as far removed from the modern hi-tech foam mattresses as the old horse hair mattresses are from our modern sprung mattresses.

The new foam mattress system, with its innovative comfort cell design, provides comfort, performance, shape retention and long term durability. The comfort cells respond independently and exactly to sleepers’ weight and body movement. It is ideally suited to adjustable beds as the mattress freely follows the shape of the bed when adjusted. The sculptured construction of the mattress system aids ventilation too.

Mattress Firmness: The firmness of the support provided by a bed base can be further adjusted by the firmness of the mattress used in combination with that base. Mattresses come in four grades of firmness: medium, medium firm, firm and extra firm (sometimes call ‘orthopaedic’).

A word of warning, though: Convinced by alleged back-care benefits, many people opt for a mattress that is too firm for them, so try to balance firmness and comfort.

Foam mattress firmness - For maximum comfort, foam mattresses are available in various degrees of firmness.
