What is meant by the “count” in a pocket spring mattress?
The greater the number of pocket springs (the count) in a mattress, the higher the quality of the finished product. The count always refers to the number of springs contained in a 5’0″ mattress. Typically, pocket spring mattresses contain between 600 and 2000 springs. Sometimes the higher counts are achieved by placing two springs on top of each other, which is of dubious value, or by placing smaller springs inside larger diameter ones.
