What are pocket springs?
These mattresses are popular and renowned for providing targeted support and a completely tailored sleep experience. For instance, you may often find queries relating to ‘2000 pocket sprung mattress king size’ or something similar.
The more pocket springs a mattress features, the greater the support and comfort you can expect. Each spring is enclosed within a fabric pocket and reacts in accordance with movements, allowing for fantastic comfort and pressure relief. Not only can you rely on precise support throughout the night, but as these springs react independently, any movement made elsewhere on the bed won’t impact your rest.
Is a king size mattress suitable for me?
If you’re looking for both a king size bed and mattress, it’s important to consider whether your bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king bed. Ideally, your bed frame will be the largest piece of furniture in the room, allowing plenty of space for other furniture. If you’re unsure, measure your room’s available space and cross-reference this with the bed’s dimensions.
On the other hand, you may want to consider a super king pocket sprung mattress for an incredibly spacious sleeping solution.
What tension should I choose?
For side sleepers
To accommodate side sleepers, we would recommend a soft or medium mattress to allow for cushioned hip and shoulder support.
For combination sleepers
For those who like to alternate between side, front, and back sleeping, consider a medium firm mattress. These mattresses feature the perfect balance between soft and firm support, ensuring your spine is adequately supported, and your weight is evenly distributed while you sleep front or back. They also provide soft support for your hip and shoulder whilst side sleeping.
For front and back sleepers
As mentioned above, whilst sleeping on your front or back, you’ll benefit from a firm or extra firm mattress surface that is able to distribute your weight and provide adequate spinal support. Softer mattresses could result in your spine sinking into the mattress whilst sleeping in these positions. With wonderful options, such as the Silentnight Pocket 1400 Eco Comfort Ortho Mattress and many more, you can rely on firm support that doesn’t compromise comfort.
