Innerspring / Coil Mattress Reviews and Ratings -- Based on Data From Over 1,800 Owners

Page last updated Jan. 20, 2010.

What You Need To Know
According to our research, about 61% of innerspring mattress owners find their mattress to be comfortable.

Other mattress types (air, memory foam, latex and water) have substantially higher comfort ratings.

This is due in large part to the higher likelihood of premature sagging by innerspring beds, which is significant sagging of the mattress that takes place within three years and undermines comfort.

Prior to sagging, owners are often pleased with the comfort of their innerspring mattress.

Prices can vary substantially, mainly due to the amount and type(s) of upholstery used. (See innerspring mattress prices and specifications and what is an innerspring / coil mattress.)

Owner data indicates that higher priced models tend to not provide higher overall satisfaction than lower priced ones. Personal preference, however, may require that a more expensive model be bought. Models with memory foam and / or latex tend to provide somewhat better pain relief, including back pain relief, than models without.
