Mattress springs
Are the pocket springs in a medium firm mattress a heavy grade than a medium one. If not what makes the mattress firmer?
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The first thing to understand is that pocket springs can be soft, medium or firm and are body weight dependent as detailed in the article attached.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
Thesprings/”> gauge of wire is adjusted and to achieve the firmer springs the gauge of the wire is thicker than it would be to achieve a soft spring, so we suppose the answer to your question is yes, although how you manage to achieve this with one spring is a mystery.
You can have a mattress that a medium spring, but firmer upholstery layers.
We trust that the above clarifies matters for you, but if you have any further queries, please call our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
