Open Coil Mattresses are one of the most popular spring systems still used today within a mattress due to the traditional longstanding use within the mattress industry. The construction of an open coil mattress ensures that they can provide all the support that you need whilst leaving room for many different fillings to aid with the level of comfort.
Open Coil Mattresses can also be called the ‘Bonnell’ spring unit and they are made from coiled metal that is tempered to hold the coil’s firmness and also helps to make the mattress have that typically more ‘springy’ feeling. The coils are joined together to make the mattress move as one whole unit and therefore this offers your entire body an equal level of support. Open Coil Mattresses can also feature a support rod around the edge of the mattress to ensure that your body is supported to the end of the mattress. As the general rule of thumb, the higher the number of turns in the coil within the mattress, the higher the quality.
Continuous Coil Mattresses are also a type of Open Coil Mattress and these are made from a single wire arranged in head to toe rows of continual wire (whereas standard Open Coil Mattresses run in rows from side to side) and are joined together in the same way as the open coil by a helical wire on the top and the bottom of each spring. This head to toe formation also helps to reduce the ‘roll-together’ effect providing you with an undisturbed night’s sleep.
Most people have slept on an open coil mattress at some point and they still remain one of the most widely available mattresses on the market. The fairly simple construction of open coil mattresses means that it is also one of the most cost-effective mattresses and you will find a wide range of open coil mattresses that are comfortable, supportive and affordable. Higher end open coil mattresses also feature an additional layer of memory foam or latex foam to add another dimension to the mattress.
