Mattress Types

There are many types of mattresses you can get. We suggest the following: Pocket sprung mattress, memory foam mattress, sprung memory foam mattress, and orthopaedic mattress.

Pocket Sprung Mattress

Pocket sprung mattresses are designed for supreme comfort and are ideal if you like a soft or medium mattress with a bit of bounce. They are configured with up to 3,000 individual small springs, each housed in fabric. The pocket springs work independently of each other to adjust to the contours of your body allowing for optimal support. Furthermore, the pocket springs reduce the ripple effect when another person moves in the bed.

Sprung Memory Foam Mattress

A sprung memory foam mattress is a hybrid between a pocket sprung mattress and a memory foam mattress. They are built with quality memory foam layered on top of pocket springs. These mattresses give you the best of both worlds and are a good compromise between the support and motion isolation of a memory foam mattress and the responsiveness of a pocket sprung mattress. As an extra benefit, you do not need to turn the mattress.
