spring mattresses

Bouncy sleeping surfaces

Spring mattresses are mattresses containing internal metal coils that provide support and bounce.

The coils compress under body weight and spring back, distinguishing these from foam or air mattresses.

We replaced our old spring mattress with a memory foam one.

Also called innerspring mattresses.
