A mattress spring is a suspension element used in the manufacture of certain types of mattresses. Springs play a crucial role in the support and comfort offered by a spring mattress, adapting to the contours of the body and absorbing movements throughout the night.

There are several types of springs used in mattresses, including Bonnell springs, continuous springs, pocket springs, and barrel springs. Each type of spring offers distinct support and comfort characteristics, depending on the design, size, shape, and arrangement of the springs.

Bonnell springs, for example, are hourglass-shaped springs that are connected to each other by a steel wire. This spring system is typically used in entry-level mattresses because of its lower cost. Continuous springs are made from a single steel wire that is formed into multiple S-shaped springs, creating a continuous, interconnected support system.

Pocket springs, also known as individually wrapped pocket springs, are steel springs that are wrapped in non-woven fabric bags. The bags are then assembled to form a network of independent springs that work in synergy to support the body during sleep. This type of spring offers ergonomic support, sleeping independence and excellent ventilation.

Barrel springs are cylindrical springs, typically wider in the center and narrower at the ends. They provide firm, even support and are often used in orthopedic mattresses.

It is important to note that while springs can provide adequate support and comfort, they are not used in natural latex mattresses. Natural latex mattresses, like those sold by your company, are made from latex derived from the sap of the rubber tree, and offer ergonomic support, high resilience and optimal ventilation, without requiring springs for their structure.
