Pocketed coil mattresses were first introduced around 80 years back and are still popular. This is due to the high level of comfort they offer, particularly those who share the bed with others, who weigh more or less than themselves. Here is a quick overview of the most popular and highly rated pocket coil mattresses.
Pocketed coils are separate steel inner-spring coils encased in pockets. They are then fused to make the mattress. As the springs are not linked there is more motion separation than traditional innerspring mattresses. All premium pocketed coil mattresses use high-tempered steel coils. Moreover, each mattress manufacturer has distinct design points that distinguish them from their competitors. Pocketed coil mattresses are also fused together with lots of materials like, latex, silk or wool fibres or memory foam, to give each mattress a distinct feel of support and comfort.

Jamison combines its pocketed coils to different materials including Talalay Latex, Temperature Sensitive Memory Foam, or Omalon, each one providing the consumer different levels of comfort. Unlike other manufacturers Jamison has fused the coil pockets in the middle creating a ‘free-floating system’ that according to it, offers 100% coil conformity. The company also says that the Jamison pocket coil mattress offers 27% more support in the middle zone than its rivals where you body needs it most for correct spinal alignment. There are various manufactures of pocketed coil mattresses and whether you actually get 27% more support than other mattresses is questionable.
