How To Buy An Innerspring Mattress: Buyer's Guide

Buying an Innerspring Mattress

What is an innerspring mattress?

Innerspring mattresses are the most well-known mattress types available. They are made with steel coils that support the sleeper's body. These coils are either individually encased or connected to a single unit inside the mattress. The innerspring coil system distributes the sleeper's body weight and supports spinal alignment.

Generally, the more coils there are, the more comfortable the mattress. Innerspring mattresses can be topped with a variety of upholstery or cushioning.

Sizes of Innerspring Mattresses

The best way to determine what size to buy has everything to do with how many people will be sleeping in the bed. Take into account the size of the person or people and the size of the bedroom. The mattresses are listed here in descending size order.

• California King size
• King size
• Queen size
• Full size
• Twin XL size
• Twin size
• Mattresses for toddler beds
• Mattresses for infant cribs

Different brands of innerspring mattresses can have slightly varying dimensions for each size category, but the discrepancy is minimal. For example, the Beautyrest California King mattress measures 72 inches wide by 83.5 inches long, while the Zinus Night Therapy brand California King mattress is 72 inches wide by 84 inches long.

Innerspring mattresses also come in a variety of styles for toddlers and infants.

The most important size difference between mattress brands and styles is seen in the mattress's height. A mattress's top layer can be made with upholstery, foam, or gel padding. The thickness of this layer can alter a mattress's height significantly, even within the same brand and the same size category of the mattress. Make sure to consider the height of the mattress when deciding which one is right for you.

Types of Innerspring Mattresses

There are several variations of innerspring mattresses, and each one provides a different type of support.

• Traditional innerspring mattresses
• Extra firm innerspring mattress
• Firm innerspring mattress
• Plush innerspring mattress
• Hybrid innerspring mattress
• Memory foam innerspring mattress
• Innerspring mattresses without memory foam
• Pillow top innerspring mattress
• Euro top innerspring mattress

A traditional innerspring mattress is made up of a foundation, a core, and a comfort layer. The foundation provides the bed's structure. The coils in the mattress's core conform to your body shape. Individually encased coils offer more support and pressure relief and allow less motion transfer than coils in a network.

Innerspring mattresses are available through Sam's Club in extra firm, firm, and plush firmness levels.

Extra firm or firm mattresses, such as those made with memory foam or latex, are best if you tend to sleep on your stomach or back. If you're more prone to sleeping on your sides, a medium, soft, or plush innerspring or hybrid mattress will provide the best support for you.

Hybrid innerspring mattresses combine coil technology with a comfort layer to provide a great night's rest at an affordable price point. The top layer of these mattresses can be made of many different fabrics and materials, including foam and latex. A hybrid mattress typically provides pressure point relief, reduced motion transfer, and supportive body contouring.

Memory foam mattresses contour to your body more precisely than traditional coils alone. Memory foam also considerably reduces motion transfer across the mattress. Without the memory foam, an innerspring mattress will not absorb motion as well, but it will feel cooler because a memory foam mattress can trap heat.

Pillow top and Euro-top mattresses function similarly, and they're both great options for those seeking some extra padding and support while they sleep. Both styles have an extra layer of cushion sewn onto the innerspring mattress. You'll notice the springs less.

The Euro-top style is more uniform in appearance than the pillow top style. The added padding of the Euro top is sewn under the top cover of the mattress rather than directly on top. Generally, Euro-top mattresses hold their shape better than conventional pillow top mattresses, and the Euro top fillings tend to be denser and more durable.

FAQ: Innerspring Mattresses

Why buy an innerspring mattress?

Innerspring mattresses have come a long way since they were first patented. They are dependable, durable, and are made with a variety of sleep support technologies. Generally speaking, they're also the most affordable kind of mattress on the market.

What is the best innerspring mattress for back pain?

The best kind of innerspring mattress for back pain is either a hybrid, gel, or memory foam mattress. One of our best-selling Zinus mattresses is the Night Therapy Set Spring 14-inch Fusion. It is a hybrid mattress combining an innerspring system, memory foam, and latex.

What innerspring mattress is best for overweight people?

To narrow down your search, start by looking only at innerspring mattresses that have separate coils. This will keep your weight spread out much more evenly than sleeping on a connected network of coils. Hybrid innerspring mattresses that use latex, gel, or memory foam are more durable, provide excellent movement isolation, and are generally better at supporting heavier people.

Do you need a box spring for an innerspring mattress?

Box springs are only one type of base for a mattress, but they are usually the best choice for an innerspring mattress. Box springs help keep innerspring mattresses from sagging, provide extra height to the bed, and allow a little more bounce for firmer mattresses. Box springs work best when paired with a bed frame.

Mattress foundations are another popular kind of base. They are similar to a box spring, but instead of coils, foundations have a flat surface or slats for the mattress to rest on. Foundations work best with foam or latex mattresses.
