What is a Spring Mattress for?
A spring mattress is built around a network of metal coils that work together to support your body while you sleep. Those coils form the core of the mattress, then layers of comfort padding sit on top to cushion your shoulders, hips, and back. The result is a mattress that feels supportive and bouncy, with plenty of airflow moving through it.
Spring mattresses have been a bedroom staple for decades, and for good reason. They deliver dependable, even support that suits a wide range of sleepers. If you like a responsive bed that pushes back gently rather than letting you sink in, a spring mattress is a solid choice.
The Advantages of Using A Spring Mattress
- Why do so many Australians keep coming back to spring mattresses? It comes down to a handful of practical benefits.
-
Breathability: The space between the coils lets air circulate freely, which helps keep the surface feeling fresh through the night.
-
Responsive support: Springs react quickly when you move, so changing position feels easy and natural.
-
Even weight distribution: A well-built coil system spreads your weight across the mattress, helping support your spine.
-
A familiar feel: That gentle bounce is what many people picture when they think of a comfortable bed.
-
A range of firmness options: From plush to firm, spring mattresses come in various feels to suit how you sleep.
Types of Spring Mattresses
Not all spring mattresses are built the same way. The coil system inside shapes how the bed feels and performs, so it pays to know your options.
-
Pocket spring mattresses: Each coil sits in its own fabric pocket and moves independently. This helps the mattress contour to your body and reduces the ripple effect when your partner shifts during the night.
-
Continuous coil mattresses: These use a single length of wire shaped into many coils, creating a sturdy, consistent feel across the whole surface.
Pocket spring designs are a popular pick if you share your bed and want less disturbance from movement. Want to compare a different feel altogether? Take a look at our foam mattresses to see how the two stack up.
Spring Mattress Comfort Levels
Comfort is personal, so our spring mattresses come in a spread of feels to match different sleeping styles:
-
Extra Comfort: A soft, cushioned surface for those who like a plusher feel.
-
Balanced Comfort: Even cushioning and support for all-round versatility.
-
Firm: A supportive surface that many back and stomach sleepers prefer.
-
Firm Support: An extra layer of firmness for sleepers who want more underneath them.
How do you know which firmness is right for you? Your sleep position is a good guide. Side sleepers often lean towards softer feels that cushion the shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers tend to favour a firmer surface.
How to Choose the Right Spring Mattress
Choosing the right mattress goes beyond picking the first one you see—consider how different options match your specific sleep needs.
-
Think about how you sleep. Side, back, or stomach sleeping positions often point towards the firmness that suits best.
-
Choose your comfort level. Match the surface feel to what your body needs, whether that's plush cushioning or firm support.
-
Measure your space. Confirm the size you need fits your room with clearance to move around the bed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a spring mattress?
A spring mattress uses a core of metal coils wrapped in a fabric pocket topped with comfort padding to support your body. The coils provide responsive, even support and good airflow, while the padding cushions pressure points for a comfortable night's sleep.
Are spring mattresses better than foam mattresses?
Neither is simply better; it depends on your preference. A spring mattress offers a bouncier, more breathable feel with responsive support, while foam contours closely to your body. Try both to see which suits your sleep style.
Do spring mattresses sleep hot or cold?
Spring mattresses tend to sleep cooler than many other types. The space between the coils allows air to circulate freely, helping draw heat away from the surface. That airflow makes them a good option if you tend to feel warm overnight.
What base or frame should I use with a spring mattress?
Use a sturdy, even base sized to match your mattress so there are no gaps. A slatted bed frame, a platform base, or a traditional ensemble all work well. Browse our bed frames range to find one that suits your room and mattress.
