Spring core, Bonell spring core, pocket spring core or barrel pocket spring core – the market offers many types of mattress that are difficult to distinguish at first glance. The pocket spring core and the barrel pocket spring core in particular are often confused or even used interchangeably. However, they are actually two different types of mattress, which differ primarily in the construction of the springs. But which type is better for you?
Pocket or pocket spring core?
What is the difference between a pocket spring core and a barrel pocket spring core?
The main difference lies in the shape of the springs: Pocket spring core mattresses use cylindrical springs, while barrel pocket spring core mattresses are made of curved, barrel-shaped springs. The springs in the pocket spring core cannot move freely, but react to each other so that the mattress adapts to the body.
Both types of mattress offer high point elasticity and targeted pressure relief thanks to springs that are individually sewn into fabric pockets.
