The spring coil mattress is the main-stay for consumers.

The Spring Coil Mattress is still the top seller

Patented in 1865, it has had to endure little change. Your body must conform to the mattress. The coil springs issue the supporting force. There will be some pressure points and you will move positions to be more comfortable. Pillow top mattress tops give softer comfort with an under-lying feeling of support. A further advance is the Plush Top which gives luxurious cradling comfort.

These mattresses come in a very wide range of styles, prices and quality levels.

Lower quality coil mattresses can be enhance by the addition of a mattress pad or a box spring foundation.

Two modifications of this mattress type are the air bed mattress and the water bed mattress. The air bed mattress gives separate firm to soft side support and has a quilt padded surface. They are convertible to a water bed (usually heated) or a memory foam mattress. The cover zips open to allow replacement of all components. Some have memory foam tops. The bases come with cover, reinforced corners, dust protection and reinforced posture construction.
