One of the general rules of the mattress world is the more pocket springs a mattress has, the more support it can provide.

In mattresses with 3,000+ springs, the springs are smaller and more numerous, contouring to the shape of your body and providing superior support.

This is especially beneficial for heavier body types or couples who sleep together since the mattress is less likely to sag and distort.

A mattress with a higher spring count will also last longer since it can withstand wear and tear better. A higher pocket spring count is correlated with increased support, contouring ability, and durability.

This article reveals the best mattresses with 3,000+ springs in 2023, helping you choose the best mattress for your sleeping habits.

Summing up

More pocket springs equal better support and comfort as they give more independent support to each sleeper. This helps to reduce movement and helps to minimise pressure points. The more pocket springs a mattress has, the more it can conform to the contours of your body, giving you better support and comfort.
