The Biggest Misconception: Hard = Good Support? Secrets Sellers Won't Tell You!
Before we begin, let's correct a common misconception
"A firm mattress does not equal a mattress with good support"
Many people were misled by this fallacy in childhood, believing soft mattresses harm the waist and damage spinal health - likely from experiences with poor-quality sofas or outdated spring technology.
Most so-called "testers" in institutions fail to understand this principle, relying solely on subjective post-sleep impressions
or fear being accused of misleading consumers after publishing reports, thus forcibly equating "firmness" with "support".
Consequently, mattress market decisions about firmness appropriateness often follow market trends and public opinion rather than scientific testing. Many merchants understand this but choose conformity, afraid of being criticized for overly soft mattresses. They opt for rigid materials - some might as well weld steel plates into mattresses. Ask yourself: Would such mattresses be comfortable? Where's the comfort in that?
Now let's examine two primary spring types in the market
1. Continuous Coil Springs
The most traditional, historically oldest spring structure offering firmer support
Interconnected coils create tension across surrounding springs when pressure is applied at single points
delivering a "solid feel", but with significantly inferior support and noise isolation compared to pocketed springs
2. Pocketed Springs
Each spring is individually encased in fabric pockets.
Varying wire thickness, diameter, and coil count create differentiated firmness levels
Each spring independently supports body contours, providing customized and evenly distributed support
Additional benefits include superior noise reduction and motion isolation, minimizing disturbance to sleep partners
No "dead zones" during side sleeping like continuous coil systems

In summary, pocketed spring mattresses offer more advantages
Beyond conforming to natural body curves and delivering personalized support
they provide not only superior sleep comfort but also outperform continuous coil systems in noise reduction and durability.
Adding a simple cotton layer to the structure provides excellent support and a comfortable sleep experience.

Please note that the construction characteristics of pocketed coils result in weaker point-specific support,
making it unsuitable for prolonged sitting. We recommend adding a cushion for enhanced support when needed.
