Can you advise on mattress pocket spring counts?
Hi there, I’m fortunate to have a french girlfriend, although she has convinced me to go with a European size 160×200. ( extra difficult to find in the uk) We may be able to pick up a mattress in Paris but we’re getting confused by the difference in pocket sprung count specification. Our understanding is that you should really start from the 1000 mark to get a semi-decent matress. Although in france, high end mattresses seem to be around 600 springs count for for 140×190???
Could you shed any light on this?
We are keen save money by buying in France but still confused as to the quality. Many thanks Jack >
Hi Jack,
Thanks for your question.
It all depends on the size and turn count of springs.
What we usually say is 1000 in a King Size is the average figure you should be concerning yourself with.
Anything less will be that the springs will have to be bigger meaning the flexibility is reduced in a king size.
However if you go too far; say 3000 springs then these are going to be really small springs. I’d question their quality also you end up with much more metal in your bed with tiny springs every where.
It’s kind of a common sense scale issue.
Without the exact components of the model you have found I couldn’t unfortunately make any comparisons to our own hand crafted mattresses Jack. Please come back to us at your earliest convenience on 0161 437 4419 to discuss this further.
Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
