Sleep is a vital part of our daily lives, and we spend about one-third of our time in bed. That’s why it’s essential to prioritize quality sleep. Only by sleeping well can you feel refreshed and perform at your best. To help you make the right choice, our editors and mattress experts have visited factories firsthand and are sharing their real-life experience on how to select the perfect mattress.
**"When it comes to judging a mattress, the spring system is the most important factor."**
There are three main types of spring systems used in mattresses: coil springs (also known as wire springs), round springs (independent pocket springs), and individually wrapped pocket springs. Experts recommend avoiding wire springs when purchasing a mattress, as they tend to be noisier and lower in quality. Most mid- to high-end mattresses today avoid using this type of spring altogether.
**The characteristics of round springs:**
Round springs are designed to work together as a single unit, creating a seamless and stable surface. Because each spring is separate and doesn’t rub against others, there is minimal noise, making it ideal for a peaceful night’s sleep.
**Independent round spring, seamless**
**Balanced force, never deformed**
**What are individual pocket springs?**
In simple terms, each spring is encased in a non-woven fabric bag and then connected to form a supportive network. This design allows each spring to move independently, so if one person turns over or moves, the other person won’t feel any disturbance. This makes it an excellent choice for couples who want undisturbed sleep.
**Each individual spring is placed in a non-woven bag and spliced into a bed net**
**Alone stressed, do not interfere with each other. A spring is pressed and the perimeter is completely unaffected, so that the mattress fits better.**
Currently, the best spring systems on the market are round springs and individual pocket springs. **Individual pocket springs are generally considered superior to round springs because:**
1. The structure of individual pocket springs is designed to prevent friction, resulting in zero noise.
2. Each spring operates independently, ensuring even pressure distribution across the mattress, which helps reduce pressure on the body and prevents discomfort.
3. They offer greater flexibility and a softer feel, enhancing overall comfort.

Experts also warn that some manufacturers may try to pass off round springs as individual pocket springs. How can you tell the difference?
It’s actually quite simple. Just touch the side of the mattress. Individual pocket springs have a more oval shape, with smaller ends and larger centers, while round springs are more rounded and tend to be concave. If you press the mattress and feel resistance that spreads outward, it's likely a round spring. Some unscrupulous sellers might even use a round spring inside a pocket spring cover, but pressing the mattress will reveal whether the surrounding areas are affected—this is a clear sign of a true individual pocket spring.
**"Look and touch again, simply identify the fabric of the mattress"**
Mattress fabrics come in various types, including knitted, woven, printed, and more. High-end models typically use woven or imitation knitted fabrics.
To determine the quality of the fabric, focus on two key factors: weight and wear resistance. The weight of the fabric per square meter is an important indicator of its durability and quality. Heavier fabrics tend to last longer and provide a more luxurious feel.
You can check the weight by looking and touching. A high-quality fabric will appear dense, with small gaps between the threads, and feel thick, smooth, and resilient. Pressing it should give a soft yet firm response without any sound.

**"Quality fillings determine the life of the mattress and the direct feeling of the consumer"**
Besides the spring system and fabric, the filling material plays a crucial role in both comfort and longevity. There are several common filling options, including cotton, sponge, memory foam, natural latex, and coconut fiber.
**First, Latex Mattresses:**
Latex is known for its antibacterial properties and ability to support different body weights. It distributes pressure evenly, helping to correct poor sleeping positions and improve sleep quality. It’s also quiet and vibration-free, making it ideal for sensitive sleepers.
**Second, Memory Foam Mattresses:**
Also known as space foam, memory foam molds to your body, reducing pressure points and improving comfort. Originally developed by NASA, it helps relieve pain and supports spinal alignment. It’s especially beneficial for those with back issues.
**Third, Palm Mattresses:**
Palm-based mattresses are firmer and often preferred by older adults or those who like a harder surface. While naturally breathable and non-toxic, traditional palm mattresses may contain formaldehyde due to adhesives, which can take years to fully dissipate.

**For ordinary buyers: Touch, sit, lie down**
You don’t need to be an expert to choose a good mattress. Here are three simple steps:
**One touch:**
Good fabric feels smooth, thick, and has tight, even gaps.
**Two sit:**
A good mattress should have the right height—when you sit down, it should feel resilient and comfortable.
**Three lie:**
When lying down, the mattress should fit your body perfectly, supporting your legs, back, and neck.
By following these steps, you can easily find a mattress that suits your needs and ensures a better night’s sleep.
