What is the difference between a orthopaedic mattress and 1000 pocket sprung mattress?
I am 16st and have a miracoil mattress which i've only had 12 months and the springs have already come through and I wake up in agony. I sleep with my wife and she's about 10st and also suffers with bad back pain?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your website it is very helpful. >
Hi Adam.
Orthopaedic usually refers to the feel and support level of a mattress that is firm to very firm.
Your Miracoil is an open coil mattress of sorts (known as continuous spring).
These form the lower end of the price range.
Read this post here which explains in detail all about pocket springs.
Finally Adam.
Your budget will influence the mattress you are likely to get.
| How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
|---|---|
| Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
| £500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
| £750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
| £1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
| £1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
| £1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
| £1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
| £2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
| £5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
Hope this helps.
