Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Yes, the saying "the best spring is no spring at all" can make sense when talking about mattresses, (I say it every day in the store) particularly when comparing spring mattresses to other types of mattresses like foam or latex mattresses.

Traditionally, spring mattresses have been the most popular type of mattress. These mattresses use metal coils or springs to provide support and are known for their bounce and responsiveness. However, some people may find that they experience discomfort or pressure points on a spring mattress, especially if the coils are older or of lower quality.

On the other hand, foam or latex mattresses do not contain any springs, and instead use layers of foam or latex to provide support and comfort. These mattresses can offer better pressure relief and contouring to the body, which may be beneficial for people with back or joint pain.

So, the saying "the best spring is no spring at all" may imply that a mattress without springs, such as a foam or latex mattress, may provide a better sleeping experience for some people. However, it's important to note that everyone's preferences and needs when it comes to mattresses can vary, so what works best for one person may not work for another so you should visit a showroom with knowledgeable personnel like Nine Clouds Beds.
