Open Coil Mattresses

The open coil mattress is a more traditional type of mattress, incorporating an inter-connected spring system. They are generally in the lower price bands due to the relatively low production cost. A standard double open coil mattress will contain around three hundred springs, and the gauge of metal used in those springs will dictate the firmness and level of support provided. Open coils are used in most orthopaedic mattresses; they also tend to be lighter and therefore easier to turn.
