Open Coil Mattresses

Open Coil Mattresses at Bargain Prices

The open coil mattress design is one of the most popular and economical choices in the UK. Also known as Bonnell sprung, open sprung, open spring or standard coil mattresses, open coil mattresses come in various firmness levels, ranging from ultra-soft to extra firm. These mattresses typically feature around 300 interconnected springs, which is fewer compared to the 800+ springs found in pocket sprung mattresses, making them a more affordable option. Open coil spring mattresses are lightweight, making them easy to move and turn over.

Firmness and Gauge of Open Coil Mattresses

The firmness of an open coil mattress depends on the gauge of the springs. A 13.5 gauge offers a softer feel, while a 13 gauge provides medium firmness, and a 12.5 gauge delivers a firmer option. Open coil mattresses provide excellent support, which is why they are often recommended for orthopaedic mattresses due to their supportive structure. They usually have more bounce compared to pocket sprung mattresses and are ideal for those who prefer a traditional springy feel.

Durability and Uses of Open Spring Mattresses

Although an open coil mattress may not last as long as other mattress types, such as memory foam or latex, they are perfect for children or guest beds where durability is less of a concern. The lighter weight of these mattresses makes them easy to flip and maintain.
