Pocket mattresses

Pocket spring mattresses (pocket spring) are today the most popular type of spring mattresses, i.e. one in which each spring works independently of the others. This means that the springs are not connected by wire, but placed in separate material pockets, thanks to which they work point-wise - exactly where the body exerts pressure. In practice, this gives a much better fit to the body than in older Bonnell constructions, where the entire mattress flexes at the same time.

The most important feature of pocket mattresses is the so-called point elasticity. Each part of the body - shoulders, hips, lumbar section - receives separate support, which helps maintain the natural position of the spine during sleep. This reduces muscle tension and improves the quality of regeneration, especially with longer use.

The second important element is traffic isolation. Because the springs work independently, the movement of one person does not transfer to the entire surface of the bed. This is a huge advantage in double beds - one person can change position and the other still sleeps stably, without the "wavy" effect.

Many pocket models are additionally divided into hardness zones (usually 7), where different parts of the mattress have different levels of elasticity. Thanks to this, the hip area is better supported and the shoulders and legs have greater flexibility. The whole thing works more ergonomically and "anatomically".

In practice, a pocket mattress is a compromise between elasticity and precise fit. A well-selected model will work well both for people who sleep on their sides and on their backs, as well as for couples of different weights. This is one of the most universal types of mattresses that combines structural stability with comfortable fit to the body.
