Yes, a 1000 pocket sprung mattress is good for a guest room, a child's bed or one lighter sleeper, and it's the best value option. For two adults sharing a bed every night, a 2000 pocket sprung mattress is worth the extra because it follows your shape more closely and passes less movement across the bed. A 3000 suits heavier builds or anyone who wants firm support.
What does the number mean?
It's how many pocket springs are inside the mattress. Each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and compresses on its own. More springs means each one is smaller, so the surface can respond to smaller areas of your body: your shoulder and hip sink a little while your waist is held up.

When a 1000 pocket sprung is enough
A spare room that's used a few weeks a year doesn't need the same mattress as your own bed. Neither does a child, who weighs far less than an adult. In both cases the 1000 Pocket Sprung gives proper independent support at the lowest price we offer on a sprung mattress.

When to go up to 2000 or 3000
Share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns, and the 2000 is the one to pick. Its extra springs, plus a pillow-top layer, cut down how much of their movement reaches you. The 3000 is the firmest we sell. It suits heavier sleepers, whose weight would push through a softer mattress, and anyone who simply likes a mattress that pushes back.
All three come in single, small double, double, king and super king. Browse the full mattress range. Free UK delivery in 5 to 7 working days, and you can add a mattress to any bed order at checkout.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 1000 pocket sprung mattress good enough for everyday use?
For one person of average build, yes. For two adults sharing every night, a 2000 pocket sprung mattress isolates movement better and is worth the extra.
Is 2000 pocket sprung better than 1000?
For a shared main bed, yes. The springs are smaller and more numerous, so the mattress follows your shape more closely and a partner's movement travels less.
Which is firmer, 1000 or 3000 pocket sprung?
In our range the 3000 is the firmest. The 1000 is medium-firm and the 2000 has a softer pillow-top feel.
Is a pocket sprung mattress better than open coil?
Usually. Open coil springs are wired together, so they move as one. Pocket springs each sit in their own fabric pocket and move on their own, which means less roll-together and better support where you need it.
Do more springs always mean a better mattress?
Not on their own. Filling, firmness and how you sleep matter as much. Use spring count to compare mattresses of similar construction.
