Open coil sprung mattresses are a popular and budget-friendly choice for those looking for a reliable, supportive sleep surface. These mattresses are constructed with a single continuous coil system, where each coil is connected to the next. This interconnected design ensures that the entire mattress responds evenly to pressure, providing consistent support throughout the night. Open coil sprung mattresses are often known for their firm support and durability, making them a great option for individuals who prefer a firmer feel while sleeping.

How does an open coil sprung mattress support me? >
An open coil sprung mattress supports you through its interconnected system of metal springs that work together to distribute your body weight evenly across the surface. Here's how it provides support:
Firm, Even Support: The coils are designed to evenly distribute pressure, offering consistent support across the entire mattress. This helps prevent sinking or sagging in certain areas.
Back and Spinal Support: The firm structure of the interconnected springs can help keep your spine aligned while you sleep, making it suitable for people who need more back support.
Responsive to Movement: The springs quickly respond to body movement, providing immediate support as you shift positions during sleep.
Weight Distribution: The open coil design spreads your weight across multiple springs, reducing pressure points and providing a more balanced sleeping surface.
Edge-to-Edge Support: Some open coil mattresses are reinforced along the edges to prevent roll-off and ensure that the entire mattress surface remains supportive.
