Title: What Is The Best Type Of Innerspring Mattress?
Author: Robin OBrien
Article:
Today, there are many different types of innerspring mattresses
on the market, so choosing a good quality mattress isn't
straightforward. For starters, there are five different types of
innerspring designs. Knowing what these are and what materials
go into making an innerspring mattress, will help you find the
right innerspring mattress for you.
Over 90% of mattresses sold are innerspring mattresses.
Manufacturers of top rated mattresses like Serta, Jamison and
Kingsdown Mattresses all make innerspring mattresses. So,
there's a range of good quality innerspring mattresses to choose
from.
Two good methods to determining quality is to ask the sales
assistant and by looking at the mattress cutaway sample of the
mattress - each mattress manufacturer provides its retailers
with a cross-section sample as a guide for potential customers.
Okay, so you're looking at the cutaway, but what exactly are you
looking at?
Quality innerspring (called coils) are usually tempered with
heat or electricity. Doing this makes the coils more likely to
return to their original shape. Most quality coils are coated
with plastic to resist corrosion and wear. Generally, the
thicker the metal, the firmer the support and the longer the
coils will last. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the
wire. Most quality mattress manufacturers like Kingsdown use a
13 gauge wire.
There are five different types of coil systems used in
mattresses: Continuous, Karr, Marshall, Knotted Bonnell and
Knotted Offset. A continuous coil system is fashioned from a
single strand of steel wire strung throughout the system. This
system gives a mattress a lot of strength. The Karr systems
consists hour-glass shaped coils with the end left unknotted.
The main advantage of Karr coils is that each coil moves
independently. The Marshall system uses very light wire. This is
because this system uses a lot of coils. This system is
prohibitively expensive and is rarely used in mattresses made
today. The knotted Bonnel system, like the Karr, consists of
hour-glass shaped coils, but each coil has five turns. The
Knotted offset is similar to the Bonnell but the difference
comes in that part of the top and bottom wire sections are
squared off to fit together in a parallel fashion on the top
surface. This helps prevents the mattress from sagging.
Coil count is not necessarily a good indication that one
mattress is better than another. Stearns and Foster make some of
the finest mattresses on the market today but typically use less
coils than other leading mattress manufacturers. However, most
quality mattresses use somewhere between 700 and 1000 coils.
Just about all the major mattress manufacturers now apply a soft
top to their innerspring mattresses. This top layer can consist
of upholstery, latex or memory foam. This layer can be 1 to 3
inches thick. It is this top layer that gives an innerspring
mattress its soft feel, while the coils below give the support.
One final point: when you lie down or sit on a mattress you
shouldn't feel any coils. A quality mattress from a leading
mattress manufacturer like Kingsdown should feel firm but giving
and should give your spine, pelvis and shoulders the support
they need in order for you to get a good night's sleep.
