What does a pocket spring mattress consist of?

A pocket spring mattress consists of hundreds of individually wrapped springs that adapt independently to your body. This provides targeted support without the entire mattress moving.

The difference lies in the comfort layer: on top of the feathers, Ubed features the BreezeTopper™. This layer actively breathes with you, stays fresh, and prevents heat buildup.

Together, this creates a mattress that provides firm support, regulates temperature and remains hygienic – ideal for those who want to sleep deeper without waking up clammy.

The core of the pocket spring mattress

The core always consists of loose, individually wrapped springs. Each spring reacts individually to pressure, allowing your mattress to precisely conform to your body. This provides targeted support—more flexible for your shoulders, firmer for your lower back. This zoning keeps your spine balanced, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. The result: more stability, less tossing and turning, and deeper sleep.

Why the Ubed Breezelayer™ makes the difference on top of pocket springs

Support is one thing, but comfort and freshness? Those come from the top layer. The Ubed BreezeTopper™ isn't standard foam or latex, but a smart, open 3D layer that actively ventilates. Where traditional materials trap heat, the Ubed BreezeTopper™ breathes with you. This keeps your mattress dry, cool, and hygienic – night after night. Combine that with the resilience of pocket springs, and you have a perfect sleeping environment.

Frequently asked questions about pocket spring mattresses

Which sleeping position is best suited to a pocket spring mattress?

Pocket spring mattresses are suitable for any sleeping position, but back and stomach sleepers especially benefit from the firm, resilient support. Side sleepers are best off choosing a model with extra flexible zones at the shoulders and hips, allowing the body to sink in comfortably without tilting.

What does spring density mean and why is it important?

Spring density indicates how many springs there are per square meter in the mattress. More springs generally mean more precise support. You'll notice this especially if you're heavier or require more ergonomic features. For most people, a medium to high spring density is ideal. Don't just focus on it; instead, experience how your body responds to the core.

How long does a pocket spring mattress last and is it sustainable?

A good pocket sprung mattress with a Ubed BreezeTopper™ will easily last 10 years. The springs retain their resilience, and components like the top layer are replaceable or washable. All components are also 100% recyclable. This means less waste and fewer mattress replacements – good for your sleep and the planet.
