When you bought your ​queen mattress, you thought that its slightly larger size would help you and your partner sleep more comfortably. Sometimes, however, bed size isn't the only thing that stops you from getting a good night's sleep. Your mattress also has a part to play.

If you're close to divorce or murder because one of you keeps disturbing the other during the night, then it may be time to invest in a new mattress. Ideally, you want a model that gives you both a comfortable night's sleep. How can a pocket spring mattress help?

What Is a Pocket Spring Mattress?

Unlike regular spring mattresses that have a single frame of springs to give support, a pocket spring mattress uses lots of individual springs. Each spring is fixed into the mattress in its own area, or pocket. Springs are not connected together.

What Are the Benefits of Pocket Spring Mattresses?

If you have a regular spring mattress, any movement you make can make a wide area of the mattress sag. Once one part of the spring's frame is pushed down, the movement automatically spreads across the springs because they are all connected. For example, if you're carrying a bit of extra weight, then your weight will make the bed sag spread from your side to the other. If you're a restless sleeper, then every toss and turn you make affects the springs on all of the mattress.

Sagging or movement that spreads across a mattress may disturb your partner. As your side of the bed goes down, they may be automatically rolled into the middle of the bed, or even on to your side. One or both of you won't get a good night's sleep. When you lie down on a pocket spring mattress, the springs you lie on shift to accommodate your body like any other kind of sprung mattress. However, the fact that each spring is individually attached means that your body only affects the springs you lie on.

Pocket springs are all individually fitted and unconnected. So, you can push down loads on your side or toss and turn to your heart's content, but your weight or movements will stay on your side of the bed. Pop into your local bed and mattress supplier to test out pocket spring queen mattresses for yourself. If you're convinced this is a good fit for your bed, then you can also buy these mattresses online.
