Pocket Sprung Mattresses: Shop 1000, 2000 & 3000 Spring Count Mattresses at Super Beds
A pocket sprung mattress works differently to a standard open coil design. Instead of one connected spring system moving as a whole, each spring sits in its own individual fabric pocket, responding to your body’s shape and movement on its own. The result is more targeted support and far less disturbance when someone shifts position beside you.
At Super Beds, our pocket sprung mattresses UK range covers everything from an entry-level 1000 pocket spring mattress to a luxury 3000 spring count build with a plush pillow top finish. Every mattress comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee and fast delivery across the UK.

Finding the best pocket sprung mattress UK shoppers actually rate comes down to understanding spring count and firmness, not just picking whatever’s cheapest on the page. We’ve laid it out below to make the choice easier.
Understanding Spring Count: 1000, 2000 & 3000
1000 pocket spring mattress: a solid entry point into pocket sprung support, offering noticeably more targeted comfort than an open coil mattress at a lower price than higher spring counts. Our Dreamline 1000 Pocket Sprung Mattress, Serenity 1000 Encapsulated Pocket Spring Mattress, and Supreme 1000 Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattress all sit in this range.
2000 pocket spring mattress: roughly double the springs of a 1000-count build, giving more precise support across the whole body, particularly useful for couples of different weights sharing a bed. Our Heritage 2000 Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattress falls into this category, pairing the higher spring count with a memory foam comfort layer.
3000 pocket spring mattress: our highest spring count option, built for the most precise support and pressure relief available in the range. The Elite 3000 Encapsulated Pocket Sprung Mattress and Prestige 3000 Pillow Top Mattress both use this higher density spring layer, making them a strong choice if you want a genuinely luxury pocket sprung mattress.
Generally speaking, a higher spring count means finer, more individualised support, though the comfort layer on top, whether that’s memory foam, a pillow top, or a firmer quilted finish, plays just as big a role in how the mattress actually feels.

Encapsulated Pocket Spring Mattresses: An encapsulated pocket spring mattress wraps the spring unit in a foam border, which helps stop springs rolling or shifting near the edges and gives better edge support for sitting or sleeping close to the side. Our Elite 3000 Encapsulated Pocket Sprung Mattress and Serenity 1000 Encapsulated Pocket Spring Mattress both use this build.
Pocket Sprung Pillow Top Mattresses: A pocket sprung pillow top mattress adds a plush, padded layer stitched on top of the spring unit, giving a softer, more hotel-style feel while keeping the supportive base underneath. Our Imperial 5000 Pillow Top Mattress, Prestige 3000 Pillow Top Mattress, and Majestic Memory Pocket 1000 Pillow Top Mattress all fall into this category, each with a different spring count and comfort layer.
Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattresses: Combining wrapped springs with a memory foam layer on top gives you the responsiveness of pocket springs with the pressure relief of foam. Our Heritage 2000 and Supreme 1000 Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattresses are built this way, sitting between a firmer traditional spring mattress and a full foam design.

Pocket Sprung Mattresses by Size
- Pocket sprung mattress single: ideal for a guest room, box room, or a single sleeper who still wants the targeted support of individually wrapped springs.
- Pocket sprung mattress double: the standard choice for couples or a shared bedroom, with independent springs helping reduce motion transfer between two sleepers.
- Pocket sprung mattress king size: extra width and length for larger primary bedrooms, popular with taller sleepers or those who prefer more room to stretch out.
- Pocket sprung mattress super king: the most spacious option in the range, well suited to couples who want maximum room to move without waking each other during the night.

Finding the Right Firmness
Soft pocket sprung mattress: if you prefer a gentler, more cushioned feel, a pillow top build like the Imperial 5000 or Majestic Memory Pocket 1000 leans softer while still using a supportive spring base underneath.
Medium firm pocket sprung mattress: a good all-round choice for most sleepers, balancing enough give for comfort with enough push-back to keep the spine supported. The Heritage 2000 Pocket Sprung Memory Foam Mattress sits well in this middle ground.
Firm pocket sprung mattress: for sleepers who prefer a more structured, supportive surface, the Elite 3000 Encapsulated Pocket Sprung Mattress and Dreamline 1000 Pocket Sprung Mattress both offer firmer support, often suited to back or stomach sleepers.

Things to Check Before You Buy a Pocket Sprung Mattress Online
- Check the spring count against your needs: a higher spring count generally means more precise support, but the comfort layer on top matters just as much for how the mattress actually feels.
- Think about edge support: if you often sit on the edge of the bed to get dressed, an encapsulated pocket spring mattress will hold its shape better at the sides than a non-encapsulated build.
- Match firmness to your sleep position: side sleepers often prefer a softer pillow top finish, while back and stomach sleepers usually do better with a firmer, higher spring count build.
- Consider who you’re sharing the bed with: pocket springs respond independently, so a pocket sprung mattress double or king size is a strong choice if you and your partner have different weights or sleep styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a 1000, 2000, and 3000 pocket spring mattress?
The number generally refers to the spring count in a standard-size mattress, so a 3000 pocket spring mattress has roughly three times as many individually wrapped springs as a 1000 count build. More springs typically means more precise, targeted support across the body, though the comfort layer on top also plays a big part in overall feel.
Is a pocket sprung mattress better than memory foam?
Neither is objectively better, they simply suit different preferences. A pocket sprung mattress tends to feel more responsive and breathable, while memory foam contours more closely to the body. Many of our mattresses, including the Heritage 2000 and Supreme 1000, combine both in a single build.
What does encapsulated mean on a pocket spring mattress?
An encapsulated pocket spring mattress has its spring unit wrapped in a foam border around the edges. This gives firmer, more reliable support when sitting or sleeping near the side of the bed, compared to a standard pocket sprung build without this reinforcement.
Which pocket sprung mattress is best for back pain?
Generally, a firmer pocket sprung mattress with a higher spring count, such as our Elite 3000 Encapsulated Pocket Sprung Mattress, offers more consistent support for the spine than a very soft pillow top build. Everyone’s back pain is different though, so it’s worth considering your usual sleep position too.
Can couples with different body weights share a pocket sprung mattress comfortably?
Yes, this is actually one of the main benefits of a pocket sprung mattress double or king size. Because each spring moves independently, the mattress can respond to two different body weights on either side without one person’s movement affecting the other as much as it would on a standard open coil mattress.
