How to get more energy with less sleep!
The two common types of mattresses flooding the market are spring mattresses and non-spring foam mattresses. The ones that have dominated the market for many decades are spring mattresses. Not by chance, we will comment.
Mattresses made of springs are composed of 60%-70% air, which ensures good ventilation inside the mattress, thus a healthier and drier sleeping environment. In addition, the springs, depending on their type, exert the appropriate pressure on the body offering a personalized sleeping experience. At the same time, spring mattresses have a high level of durability, which means that you can use them without wearing out for perhaps more than 10 years.
Spring mattresses have proven over time that they can provide the right support for the spine while, combined with the right materials, they hug the body so that the pressure exerted on the different points is uniform. There are two subcategories of spring mattresses, which can be divided based on the type of springs used in them: Bonnell spring mattresses and independent pocket spring mattresses.
But what are their main differences?
Bonnell Springs Mattresses
Bonnell springs are the traditional hard springs that have been used for decades in mattress production. They are hourglass-shaped (that is, they are wider at the bottom and top, while thinner in the middle) and are connected to each other with a metal wire. Most have perimeter reinforcement that ensures more strength at the edges of the mattress.
Foam materials, latex, afrolatex, cotton, wool or polyester batting are usually placed above and below the Bonnell springs, which create different qualities of mattresses and determine the degree of elasticity of the mattress. Linked Bonnell springs are mostly found in hard mattresses, which provide good support for the spine, but lack anatomical features.
Features:
- Durable materials
- Even feeling of pressure
- Orthopedic support of the spine
- Stability
- Lower cost
- Transmission of traffic
- They do not provide anatomy
- Anatomic support
- Elasticity
- They respond better to body movements
- Personalized pressure at every point
- Perceptible reduction in transmission
- They do not provide as much support to the spine as Bonnell springs
- Higher cost
