Pocket sprung mattresses are one of the most popular types of mattress on the market. Their construction involves a number of individual springs that are sown into pockets, giving greater support and flexibility to the mattress. The time taken to construct a pocket sprung mattress means that these are often among the more expensive types of mattress on the market.

The level of support and comfort offered by a pocket sprung mattress is one of the reasons that it is the preferred choice of many customers. A pocket sprung mattress can have anywhere from 600 to over 3,000 individual springs, depending on how luxurious the manufacturers want the mattress to be. Each spring is individually protected by being sewn into its own pocket, which is made of a soft, durable fabric. These pockets are then sewn together, taking care that each spring is isolated from the next.
