As the most mainstream type of mattress on the market, spring mattresses have a wide variety of types, mature production processes, and higher cost-effectiveness than other types of mattresses. Even novice decorators who are not familiar with mattress structures can compare material configurations and prices to choose the style that suits them.
The price of spring mattresses ranges from a few hundred to several million yuan. With such a huge price difference, in addition to the visible surface fabric layer and the filling layer that can provide soft and hard comfort during sleep, there is also the most critical and core spring layer! Today, we will give our friends a detailed explanation of springs, which can help them further avoid pitfalls and save money!
Whole net spring
The entire network is subjected to force, and one pull can move the whole body. It has weak anti-interference ability, but good support, making it easy to get up and turn over. It is mostly chosen by those who like hard beds and the elderly.
1. Continuous Coil Spring
This technology has been used for more than 30 years, and the wire drawing and wire lifting net spring is also the earliest type of mattress spring contacted by Chinese people. The biggest feature is to use a strand of precision steel wire to wrap from the head of the bed all the way to the tail of the bed, supporting a set of interconnected spring groups, and then parallel connecting several spring groups to make it.
The product configuration comparison of a certain brand shows a price difference of 100 yuan between the two.
Because the steel wires are tangled together, it is easy to produce noise due to friction. And the number of springs is rare, so the support is weak and the fit is not very good, which is prone to collapse! So far, only a few mattresses under a thousand yuan are still in use and have been basically eliminated by the market.
2. Bonnell round spring
The connecting spring, which focuses on the mid to low end market, is characterized by connecting individual springs with several snake shaped steel wires to form a whole. Its performance is better than that of a single wire steel mesh spring, with good rebound force and support, balanced force, and a more stable overall structure than a brushed wire spring.
The sleeping sensation is hard, and the anti-interference ability is still very poor. When people around you turn over at night, you can be shaken awake! There will be a creaking noise when lying down, which is not suitable for sleeping with multiple people. It is commonly used in elderly rooms and rental housing.
3. Mira coil
S Da Jia’s patented spring, Miao Er Kou, strictly speaking belongs to a type of brushed wire spring. It is a steel wire that runs through the bottom, with four fixed points at the corners, and has a stable structure. Unlike wire drawing and wire spring, which can be produced by any machine, Miao Er Kou is a patented spring that can only be produced by Lianpai (one of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States and a leader in the spring industry). It was purchased by S Da for its patent rights and its name was directly adopted from the spring’s patent name “Miao Er Kou”.
However, other mattress brands can also purchase from Lienpai, but when promoting, they cannot use the name “Miao’erbu Spring” as a promotional name, otherwise they will be warned by lawyer S Da in a letter. Changing the name is not a big deal. So when you see a Z-shaped full mesh spring mattress promoted under similar names such as Aike Kou, which looks like the S Damao Kou, and is produced by Rienpai, that is the Mio Kou Spring.
The biggest feature is its Z-shaped structure, which has strong stability and is not easily prone to local collapse. It has a hard sleeping sensation, but its anti-interference ability is still inferior to that of independent bagged springs, and its price is relatively high. Therefore, it is widely used in high-end products of S Da, and the price is basically over ten thousand yuan. Bonnier mesh springs are commonly used in mid to low end mattresses of S Da. Remember to ask about the springs before buying. After using the mattress for a long time, there will still be jamming and abnormal noise.
4. Meizi Induction Spring (LFK)
The patented spring of S Lianjia is composed of a single set of springs, with an open spring above each spring, unlike circular springs that have a closed mouth. The opening size of the spring can be adjusted according to different pressures. The greater the external force, the larger the opening, and conversely, the smaller the opening. This is also one of the reasons why the LFK open spring mattress has a good fit, with a relatively soft hardness.
The patented full mesh spring, which can only be produced by Lienpai, was purchased by 3S1K’s S Lian. Unlike S Da, which directly uses the patent name, S Lian changed it to a more pleasant name: Meizi Induction Spring. Similarly, other mattresses can still be purchased from Rienpai, but cannot be promoted under the name Meizi induction spring. The sleeping sensation of the Meizi induction spring is very elastic, similar to the sleeping sensation of the double-layer independent bag spring. The opening design is more in line with the curve of the human body. The disadvantages are also obvious: poor support, poor anti-interference ability, and high selling price.
Independent bag spring
In recent years, mattress springs have become a popular choice, used in mattresses from low-end to high-end. Each spring operates independently, with strong noise and anti-interference capabilities. It provides point-to-point support and fit according to different parts of the body, making it a popular choice for middle-aged and young people.
1. Ordinary Pocketed Coil
A spring is formed by individually wrapping each spring with fabric and then connecting the spring bags together using glue or stitching techniques. Each spring is independently extendable and supported, as it is wrapped in fabric on the outside, there will be no direct friction between the springs and no noise pollution that cannot be avoided by the entire mesh of springs.
If you are buying an independent bag spring mattress and can make a creaking sound when lying down, it is recommended to first ask family and friends to help place the spring on a flat surface, and then try whether there is still noise? If the noise still exists, go directly to the official customer service for a return and refund. The other party is involved in false advertising! Friends must purchase mattresses through official channels!

The advantages of independent bagged springs are very obvious:
① Silent without abnormal noise ② Strong anti-interference ability ③ Point to point bonding support Therefore, the price will also be relatively higher. When friends go to buy mattresses, whether online or offline, salespeople are likely to recommend independent bag spring mattresses. There are so many independent bag spring mattresses on the market, how can we buy high-quality and durable independent bag springs?
① Wire diameter (diameter of steel wire)
Springs are made by winding steel wires, so the quality of the spring directly depends on the quality of the raw material steel wire. The five major elements of carbon, sulfur, manganese, phosphorus, and silicon are the most important and fundamental elements in steel. The content of these five elements directly affects the performance and quality of the metal, among which carbon and sulfur are important elements in determining the specifications and quality of steel products. At present, Baosteel in Shanghai, Xingcheng Special Steel in Jiangyin, Shagang in Zhangjiagang, Zhongtian Iron and Steel are all good steel mills in China. High quality steel has lower sulfur and carbon content, resulting in relatively higher costs.
Independent bag springs are generally made of carbon steel, and those with higher quality will use high manganese carbon steel, although the price will also be higher. However, the spring material used in the most expensive VISPRING mattress is vanadium steel, which has a longer lifespan and better elasticity than carbon steel and stainless steel springs. Therefore, the reason why mattresses are expensive is due to their high cost.
Returning to the wire diameter of the independent bag spring, just like how people can be fat or thin, the steel wire of the spring varies in thickness, and the diameter of the steel wire is also the wire diameter of the spring. The thickness of the wire diameter is also related to the support of the spring, just like carrying heavy objects. Thin people have less strength than fat people, and the wire diameter of the spring is the same. For independent bagged springs with the same number of turns and height, the thicker the wire diameter, the stronger the support and the higher the price, and vice versa.
Of course, just like humans, the thicker the weight, the stronger the strength. The same goes for springs. The wire diameter is not necessarily the thicker the better, and factors such as comfort and elasticity also need to be considered. Generally speaking, the wire diameter of ordinary independent bagged springs is mostly 2mm-2.2mm, which is more suitable in terms of body feel.
Independent bagged springs are mostly single wire, which is made by winding a single steel wire. However, in addition, a Mengsijia also has a unique independent bagged cable spring system, which is made up of three steel wires interwoven into one steel wire, called the “three ring steel string spring”. Compared to single wire springs, the special reinforcement structure of three wire springs will not tilt or deform, and their durability and stability have been improved. However, the price is also very expensive, and only the most luxurious Sweet Dream black label from a certain Mengsi family uses this type of independent bagged cable spring system.
② Caliber (diameter of spring)
The spring diameter refers to the diameter of the spring coil opening. Generally speaking, the smaller the diameter, the better the fit sensitivity, and the softer and more comfortable it is for people to lie down. The diameter of the independent bagged springs also determines the number of mattress springs.
Let’s take the standard independent bagged spring from Xingxi Home as an example. The 6.5 turn independent bagged spring has a wire diameter of 2mm (the diameter of the steel wire) and a diameter of 5cm (the diameter of the spring) (most standard independent bagged springs on the market have the same configuration), and also needs to consider the thickness of the non-woven fabric wrapped around it, which is basically equivalent to a diameter of about 6.1cm. That is to say, the area occupied by an independent bagged spring should reach more than 37 square centimeters, and the area of a standard mattress is 36000 square centimeters (obtained by multiplying 180 by 200 centimeters).
Dividing the two gives a rough estimate of a standard mattress, which can be filled with 960 independent bag springs with a diameter of 6.1cm. And a classic 1.8 x 2-meter mattress from Xingxi Home contains 960 independent bagged springs, which shows that the Classic Star mattress truly achieves a 100% bed rate!
Of course, the number of springs is not only related to the diameter of the springs and the size of the mattress, but also to the edge reinforcement technology of the mattress. Most mattresses on the market use sponge reinforcement, which cannot achieve 100% spring coverage of the entire mattress, nor can it achieve a 100% bed rate. The mattresses that can be made are reinforced with butterfly springs or thick steel, so that the independent bagged springs can cover the entire mattress, and the edges of these spring mattresses can also sleep on people.
Write at the end
1. Spring Intelligence Tax
When you experience mattresses in offline physical stores, enthusiastic salespeople will discover that you are not easy to deceive after trying on their mattresses, and they will take out their proud “store treasure” – springs!
① Does the whole net spring have anti-interference ability? The question is that you don’t need to turn over.
In the famous 3S1K, both S-Da and S-Lian use full mesh springs, so their anti-interference performance is not as good as independent bag springs. Don’t ask people about the anti-interference performance of your mattress springs when they sell them, they will blow it like this: it will make you sleep well all night, nothing! Need it! Flip it! Body! In order to provide users with more even and reasonable force distribution, the whole mesh mattress is professional!
In terms of being able to fool people, some mattress sales are no less impressive than selling houses and cars. Everything has two sides, and the advantages can be highlighted, but the disadvantages do not need to be avoided too much. In the end, it is up to consumers to compare and choose on their own, rather than just trying to cover up the bad aspects of the product and lure consumers into purchasing.
② Whether it’s worth it or not, I’m the final say!
The premium of big brands is quite exaggerated, and many people only recognize brands. When you hear about 3S1K international big brands! I just feel that no matter how expensive it is, it’s worth it. Listen to the sales report that this model is designed and developed specifically to adapt to our countrymen sleeping sensation, which is even more touching. You have made a mattress specially for me, so you can’t buy it?
But the truth is that the imported brand mattresses are too soft, and countrymen people can’t get used to sleeping. In order to sell them, countrymen people have to change their sleeping sensation. Among the mattresses that Mao Niu Ge has modified, 9 out of 10 are ones that his friends find too soft and want to make harder. And there are also situations where there are different product lines at home and abroad, such as S Lian using independent bag springs for high-end mattresses in the United States, while in China, the whole mesh springs with poor anti-interference performance are used from the middle to the low end. Please take a closer look~
③ The larger the caliber, the better? There’s no need to go to extremes
My friends all understand the principle of ‘too much is not enough’. Like the previous partitioned mattress, springs that exceed the standard are no longer suitable. However, some businesses, in order to pursue differentiation, focus on a certain point and exaggerate beyond the standard, in order to promote differentiation and showcase their products.
For example, the black diamond ultra large diameter spring of an 8-inch mattress, 9.5cm wide, looks very cool, but countrymen people can hardly use it. As mentioned earlier, the obesity of countrymen is normal or overweight in the United States. The average weight of an adult male is about 70 kilograms, and girls are even lighter, so they basically don’t need springs with such a large diameter.
And the larger the diameter of the spring, the better, and the thicker the wire diameter, the better the support of the spring also depends on the material of the raw steel. Cold drawn carbon spring steel wire may seem high-end, but it is actually not as good as high manganese carbon steel spring. No matter how thick the ordinary steel wire is, its durability and elasticity cannot compare to good steel wire. The larger the diameter, the larger the gap between the springs, and the support force is not as dense as that of a small diameter.
How to quickly select the right mattress spring?
How to choose a spring mattress online? Remember the following points:
① Sleeping alone or enjoying the Q-pop sleeping sensation, using a full mesh spring, jumping and bouncing without fear;
② Sleeping with multiple people is afraid of interference, using independent bag springs that do not affect each other;
③ Sleeping heavily, choose left and right rotation independent bag springs or partitioned independent bag springs;
④ For children’s sleep, choose the mini independent bag with spring support for finer texture;
⑤ If you want the mattress to be noise free, choose the independent bag spring for silent operation without any abnormal noise;
⑥ Couples with significant weight differences sleep with independent bag springs that rotate left and right;
⑦ If you want the spring to last for a long time, choose DuPont non-woven fabric that is wear-resistant and tear resistant, choose centripetal closure (cat ear design) that is not easy to puncture the packaging bag, and choose quality that is reliable with a warranty of more than 20 years!
Finally, it should be emphasized that you have no concept of hard core data such as spring parameters. Just remember: the thicker the spring, the harder it is, and the shorter it, the harder it is. The more coils the spring has, the better the support force. Olive type has better support force than straight tube type. DuPont non-woven fabric is more durable than ordinary non-woven fabric, and adhesive free technology is more environmentally friendly than using glue.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
