What follows is a short review of the most popular and top rated pocket coil mattresses. Pocketed coil mattresses have been around for about 80 years and many people find this type of mattress the most comfortable, especially those whose sleep with a partner whose weight is substantially heaver or lighter than themselves.
Pocketed coils are individual steel inner-spring coils encapsulated in pockets. These are then attached to form the mattress. Because the springs are not interconnected there is more motion separation than conventional inner-spring mattresses. All top rated pocketed coil mattresses use high-tempered steel coils. Additionally, each mattress manufacturer has unique design points that separate them from their competitors. Pocketed coil mattresses are also married together with a variety of materials such as, latex, silk or wool fibres or memory foam, which gives each mattress an unique feel of support and comfort.
Jamison Pocketed Coil Mattress
Jamison marries its pocketed coils to a variety of materials including Talalay Latex, Temperature Sensitive Memory Foam, or Omalon, each one offering the consumer different comfort requirements. Unlike other manufacturers Jamison has joined the coil pockets at the center creating a 'free-floating system' that, it claims, provides 100% coil conformity. The company also claims that the Jamison pocket coil mattress has 27% more support in the center zone than its competitors where you body needs it most giving you correct spinal alignment. There are many manufactures of pocketed coil mattresses and whether you really do get 27% more support than other mattresses on the market is debatable.
