Pocket sprung mattresses move independently with your body, so a restless partner won't disturb your sleep. They come in every size, including continental, and every firmness from soft to firm, with free UK delivery as standard and 0% APR finance to spread the cost.
A pocket sprung mattress contains hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individual springs, each housed in its own fabric pocket. Because every spring moves independently, it responds only to the pressure directly above it, rather than the whole mattress dipping when one part is compressed.
That's what makes pocket sprung mattresses so effective at reducing motion transfer. A restless sleeper on one side is far less likely to disturb the other.
Yes, pocket sprung mattresses suit most sleepers well, particularly couples and anyone with back pain.
A higher spring count generally means more consistent, durable support over time, which is why 1000 and 2000 pocket mattresses are popular choices for anyone wanting years of reliable comfort.
Spring count is the biggest differentiator. Entry-level pocket sprung mattresses start at around 600 springs, rising to 3000, or more, in premium models. As a rule, a higher spring count means more individual support points and closer contouring to your body.
Beyond spring count, the comfort layers on top vary too. Some pocket sprung mattresses add a layer of memory foam, combining the springs' support with foam's pressure relief, effectively a hybrid mattress. Others use natural fibres for extra breathability, or a different spring gauge to adjust the overall firmness.
Pocket sprung mattresses at Bed Kingdom come in seven sizes, from shorty to super king, plus continental options for European-style frames.
If your bed frame is a European or continental size, look for the continental options in single, small double, double and king size. Each is 10cm longer than its standard UK counterpart, so it fits continental frames properly.
Most people do well on a medium pocket sprung mattress, since it balances comfort with support. The right firmness for you still depends on how you sleep.
A good quality pocket sprung mattress typically lasts 7 to 10 years. Models with a higher spring count, like 1000 or 2000 pocket designs, tend to hold their support for longer.
Most modern pocket sprung mattresses are single-sided, so you only need to rotate them head to toe every few months rather than flip them over.
Older or more traditional double-sided mattresses should be flipped and rotated every 3 to 6 months, but always check the manufacturer's guidance for your specific mattress.
