The spring mattress is a choice made by many people all over the world, production technology has evolved greatly and has allowed us to create increasingly robust and comfortable products. The spring mattress is composed of a core (containing the springs) and a layer of padding capable of significantly influencing the perception of comfort. Today there are many combinations of core, padding and covering fabric and this allows you to have a wide range of proposals to choose from in order to better customize the product.
It is good to always keep in mind that the mattress is an object on which many hours are spent and consequently it is essential to make the right choice. The independent spring system is considered the most advanced because each spring acts autonomously, opposing an adequate push to the different points of the body based on the pressure to which it is subjected without spreading the movement and consequently does not influence the remaining part of the mattress. For the mattress to function properly, it is also necessary to have a good base that supports it adequately.
Advantages of the spring mattress
The advantages of spring mattress there are many, one of these concerns ventilation, in fact compared to a latex mattress the springs disperse the heat produced by the body better so in cases where you suffer a lot from the heat this type is preferable. In the case of people with a large build, the spring mattress offers an elastic response that helps and encourages movement, unlike other types such as viscoelastic foams which could give a "sinking" sensation. Lighter builds, on the other hand, should opt for spring mattresses that are not too rigid because they may perceive the product as hard and not very ergonomic.
Does the number of springs influence the perception of comfort?
A mattress can contain a certain number of springs, there are 400, 700 up to models with independent springs which can contain up to 1600. Generally, the more the number increases the more the mattress is ergonomic and comfortable, it adapts and follows the shape of the body. A second aspect that influences the perception of the mattress is the presence or absence of differentiated zones. In mattresses equipped with independent springs it is possible to find springs that differ in the thickness of the thread, consequently some offer rigid support and others soft.
A mattress with differentiated zones allows you to have the cervical area, dorsal area and legs supported correctly, giving a feeling of comfort and above all keeping the whole body, including the spine, in the right position.
