Hello, what is better..a queen size mattress with 1800 spring coils(dual layer-900 per layer) or a queen size with 1008 single pocket coil springs.
Please provide an explanation as to why one is better than the other.
Thanks
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your enquiry on our website. They are both completely different construction methods for a start, a dual layer gives more bounce, with springs reacting on top of springs. I'd need to know exactly what the tensile strength and number of turns each spring has to do any real comparison, also what upholstery layers are sitting on top of them. It also depends on your weight, the feel you're going for etc. You can see there are many more metrics needed other than so many springs vs another many springs! If you have this info we can provide further advice but its too limited at the moment I'm afraid.
The tension of the pocket springs should be dictated by your body weight as this is what gives you the correct level of support, the number of springs is not as important as the correct tension.
| Spring Tension | Wire diameter (Gauge) | Weight Range |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | 1.2mm | Bespoke Tension (Please Call) |
| Medium | 1.4mm | Upto 16 stone |
| Firm | 1.6mm | 16 stone plus |
| Extra Firm / Orthopaedic | 1.9mm | 20 stone plus |
Please contact the office on 0161 437 4419 if you would like to discuss this further. Our office hours are 8 am - 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am - 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Kind Regards
