Sleep is a vital part of our daily life, and we spend about one-third of our time in bed. That’s why getting quality sleep is so important! 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 to share their real-life experience on how to select the perfect mattress.
**"When it comes to judging a mattress's quality, the spring system is the most crucial factor."**
There are three main types of mattress springs: coil springs (brushed), round springs (independent pocket springs), and individually wrapped pocket springs. According to industry experts, it's best to avoid brushed springs when purchasing a mattress. These springs tend to be noisier and of lower quality, and they’re rarely used in mid-to-high-end models.
**The characteristics of round springs:**
These springs are tightly connected to form a solid, seamless structure. Since each spring operates independently without rubbing against others, there’s no noise, making for a more peaceful and safe sleep experience.

**Balanced force, never deformed**
**The features of individual pocket springs:**
You might wonder what "pocket spring" means. In simple terms, each spring is enclosed in a non-woven fabric bag and then connected together to form a net-like structure. Because each spring works independently, if one person moves or gets up, the other won’t feel any disturbance. This ensures a more comfortable and uninterrupted 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.**
Today, the best mattress spring systems available on the market are round springs and individual pocket springs. **Individual pocket springs are considered superior to round springs for several reasons:**
1. The design of the pocket spring allows for minimal friction between springs, resulting in zero noise.
2. Their independent compression ability ensures even pressure distribution across the mattress, reducing pressure on the body’s capillaries and preventing discomfort.
3. Pocket springs offer greater flexibility, leading to a softer feel and enhanced 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 an olive-shaped profile with smaller ends, while round springs are more rounded with larger ends and a concave center. If you press the mattress and feel resistance from the edges, it’s likely a round spring. Some unscrupulous sellers may even hide a round spring inside a pocket spring cover, making it harder to detect. In such cases, pressing the mattress will help: if only one area compresses and the rest remains unaffected, it’s a true pocket spring.
**"Look and touch again — simply identify the fabric of the mattress"**
Most mattress fabrics today are similar, including knitted, woven, and printed materials. High-end models often use woven or imitation knitted fabrics.
To assess the quality of the fabric, focus on two key factors: weight and wear resistance.
The weight of the fabric, measured in grams per square meter, is a strong indicator of its durability. Heavier fabrics tend to last longer and provide better support.
How can you tell the weight just by looking and touching? A heavy fabric will appear dense, with tight spacing between the threads. It should feel thick, smooth, and resilient, with no squeaking sound when pressed.
Wear resistance, although difficult to judge manually, is essential. A good mattress should last up to 15 years.

**"Quality fillings determine the life of the mattress and the direct feeling of the consumer"**
In addition to the fabric and springs, the filling material plays a crucial role in the mattress's comfort and longevity. With the rise of new materials, many options are now available, but it's easy to fall for low-quality products. When choosing a mattress, don't overlook the fillings.
Common fillings include cotton, sponge, memory foam, natural latex, and coconut fiber. Experts recommend comparing the most popular types: latex, memory foam, and coconut fiber mattresses.
**First, Latex Mattress:**
Latex has excellent antibacterial and anti-mite properties. It offers high elasticity, supports different body weights, and adapts to various sleeping positions. Its large contact area helps distribute body weight evenly, reducing pressure points and improving sleep quality. Latex is also silent and vibration-free, which enhances overall sleep comfort.
**Second, Memory Foam Mattress:**
Also known as space foam, memory foam reacts to body temperature and pressure, molding to your shape. It reduces pressure on the neck, shoulders, and hips, helping you sleep more comfortably. It can also aid in correcting spinal alignment and relieving pain. Memory foam is especially beneficial for people recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic pain.

**Third, Coconut Fiber Mattress:**
Coconut fiber mattresses are known for their firmness and breathability, making them ideal for children, the elderly, and those who prefer a hard surface. However, many traditional coconut fiber mattresses contain formaldehyde due to the glue used in the manufacturing process. This can lead to long-term health risks and structural degradation over time.

**Ordinary buyers can choose a mattress by touching, sitting, and lying down.**
Even without professional knowledge, anyone can assess a mattress through these three steps:
**One touch:**
A good fabric feels smooth, thick, and has tight gaps.
**Two sit:**
The mattress should feel soft and responsive when you sit on it, with a height that matches your knees.
**Three lie:**
When you lie down, the mattress should fit your body closely, supporting your legs, back, and neck comfortably.
