Pocket springs provide such brilliant support in our mattresses that we often forget they are fantastic for comfort.
Soft springs with little resistance compress under your body to deliver targeted cushioning where your body contacts the mattress. This relieves pressure and helps to keep your hips, spine, and torso aligned.
However, to achieve this high comfort level, you need a pocket spring mattress with zoned (targeted) support and enough springs (over 800). This article lists the best pocket spring mattresses to do just that, helping narrow down your shopping list.
Let’s jump in!
Sleepeezee Pocket Gel Poise
- 3,200 pocket springs + memory gel
- Medium feel (best for side sleepers and people up to 180lbs)

The Sleepeezee Pocket Gel Poise has 2,200 SoftTouch springs for squishy comfort and 1,000 SoftTech springs above the mattress core. The result is a soft, squishy mattress that perfectly moulds to the shape of your body.
We adore the pillowtop, which is filled with asthma and allergy approved Sensifil smart fibres for a comfortable night’s sleep.
Additionally, you get a thick layer of Staycool gel and memory foam, which provides pressure relief in the comfort layer and regulates your body temperature. It’s so good that the Good Housekeeping Institute approves it.
Mlily Bamboo Superb Mattress
- 2,000 pocket springs + memory foam
- Medium firm feel (best for back sleepers and people up to 220lbs)

The Mlily Bamboo Superb is a plush medium-firm mattress in the hybrid category, meaning it has more foam than pocket springs. However, the 2,500 pocket springs here are 16cm, so they significantly impact comfort levels.
The 2.500 pocket springs work with 5cm of charcoal-bamboo memory foam to keep you cool, with 2cm of Flex Comfort Foam for squishiness.
If you want a soft sleep but sleep mostly on your back, the Mlily Bamboo Superb is one of the best mattresses on the market.
Silentnight Geltex 3000 Affluent
- 3,000 pocket springs + memory gel
- Medium feel (best for side sleepers and people up to 180lbs)

The Silentnight Geltex 3000 Affluent is a supremely plush pocket spring mattress with a substantial memory gel top layer. The spring layer includes 1,000 Ultraflex Mini springs for comfort and 2,000 pocket springs for support.
We love this mattress’s refined comfort, with the Ultraflex mini pocket springs providing a soft, squishy top layer. The 2,000 pocket springs underneath produce substantial support to provide optimal comfort in all sleep positions.
There’s a Geltex comfort layer to dissipate heat, helping keep you cool, and the open-cell memory foam increases breathability.
Sleepeezee G4
- 4,200 pocket springs
- Medium-soft (best for side sleepers and people under 140lbs)

The Sleepeezee G4 offers a medium-soft sleep surface that squishes under your body, hugging you like a cloud. It has 4,200 SoftTech and traditional pocket springs – an enormous number that provides brilliant support.
You also get two layers (60mm) of Graphite Memory Foam, which lets air and moisture pass through, removing heat for a comfortable night’s sleep.
The zoned pocket springs relieve pressure in sleep hotspots, helping reduce aches. We recommend this mattress to side sleepers and people who weigh less than 140 lbs because heavier people will compress it too much.
Giltedge Beds Majestic 2000
- 2,000 pocket springs + memory gel
- Medium feel (best for side sleepers and people up to 180lbs)

The Giltedge Beds Majestic 2000 offers the best value for money on the market. For £649 (king size), you get a mattress with 2,000 pocket springs with a zonal edge system that gives you comfort and support right up to the edge.
The comfort layer is memory gel, a gel-infused memory foam that absorbs and draws heat from the body. Unlike many modern mattresses, you can turn it to even out wear, and the micro quilted outer cover has padding for a plush feel.
