As popular as they’ve gotten in recent years,  and models aren’t for everyone. If this statement rings true for you, it’s time to start looking at innerspring mattresses. Traditionally, mattresses with coils are known for having a bit more bounce, but thanks to advanced technology, the best innerspring mattresses can isolate motion almost as well as memory foam — or at least a lot better than the old spring mattress in the spare bedroom of your grandparents’ house.

Stearns & Foster Estate Rockwell Mattress

The Luxury Plush Mattress is the newest model in Avocado’s already impressive line. This extra deep mattress has a total of 21 layers of premium materials like natural latex, wool, silk and cotton (all organic and/or natural) combined with 3,136 individually pocketed coils. Everything is strategically arranged into five ergonomic comfort zones that relieve pressure where you need it and provide extra support where you don’t. 

There are two models, standard or one with a pillow top. The pillow top comes at an additional cost of $800 to $1,200 depending on the size of the mattress, but it adds 3 inches of plushness, extra contouring and advanced motion isolation. 

Pros:

• Avocado is one of the most popular mattresses for organic materials like natural latex and wool.
• It’s a comfortable firm mattress with great edge support. 

Cons:

• This mattress requires deep pocket sheets even without the pillow top.
• The pillow top is an expensive add on.

Factors to consider when choosing an innerspring mattress

Shopping for a mattress is an extremely subjective process. What works for one person may not suit your preferences and needs. There are key factors that you should keep in mind when comparing innerspring mattresses. They include your sleeping position, body type, health conditions and budget. 

Sleeping position 

Your sleeping position is one of the most important factors in deciding what mattress will be best for you. It will determine how firm or soft your mattress needs to be to keep you comfortable at night. 

• Side sleepers need a softer mattress to ensure they don’t develop pressure points on their shoulders, hips and knees. 
• Strict back sleepers should get a medium firm or firm mattress so their spine is in a neutral alignment all night. This level of firmness will prevent back pain. 
• Combination sleepers have the most flexibility in choosing their firmness level. You have two options, choose a bed based on the position you spend the most time in or opt for a medium firmness that works for any sleeper type. 

Body type

Your body type will determine how much pressure you put on the mattress and which mattress you should choose. People who weigh over 230 pounds should generally choose hybrid mattresses for their support and durability. 

Your weight also influences the firmness level of a bed. The more you weigh, the more pressure you put on your mattress, meaning it will feel softer. Petite body types will experience mattresses firmer because they put less pressure on the bed. 

Health conditions

When shopping for mattresses, your health conditions also affect your decision-making process. For example, if you have joint pain, you would want to choose a soft mattress with plenty of pressure relief. If you have back pain, stick with a firmer mattress to keep your spine aligned. 

Budget

Mattresses are big investments; there’s no way around that. Thankfully, there are mattresses at every budget level. Hotel luxury mattresses are going to be more expensive than the average mattress. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a nice mattress for a fair price. Most brands run big sales around holidays and events. If you time it right, you can get a couple hundred dollars off the price tag.

How we test the best innerspring mattresses

CNET editors pick the products and services we write about based on editorial merit. When you buy through our links, we may get a commission. We tested each of the mattresses on this best innerspring mattress list. Our team has tested over 100 mattresses to establish a baseline for firmness, feel and performance. 

Firmness and feel

When we start mattress testing, we first determine the firmness and feel of the mattress. Think about firmness as how hard or soft a mattress is. We rate each mattress on a ten-point scale for firmness. 

The feel of the mattress describes how the mattress reacts. Is it slow responding like traditional memory foam? Or does it snap back like latex foam? This will translate to how it will feel rolling around on the bed at night. 

Durability 

The durability, or how long a mattress will last, is based on what it’s made from. Mattresses with pocketed coils as the base are more durable than all-foam options. They also tend to be more expensive. 

Mattress performance 

The key performance criteria we assess for mattresses include motion isolation, edge support and temperature. 

We test how the mattresses isolate movement by placing a glass of water on the edge of the bed and rolling around to see how much it moves. Motion isolation is a big deal if you have a partner who rolls around and wakes you up. 

Edge support is how strong the perimeter of the bed is. The test for this is simple, we sit and lay on the edge to see if it gives way under the pressure. When assessing temperature, we examine the materials and construction of the mattress. Materials like latex and gel memory foam can keep a mattress from retaining body heat.

Other innerspring mattresses we’ve tested

Our CNET Sleep editors collectively write our best mattress lists based on their experience with over 100 different mattresses. The beds listed above are all top picks, but with so many to choose from, there are a few great beds that deserve an honorable mention. 

Leesa Legend mattress

The Leesa Legend mattress is a thick, premium bed with two layers of coils. One layer is made with pocketed coils, while a microcoil layer in the top layers offers a ton of back support. As far as comfort goes, it has a medium firmness level and a fluffy, soft foam feel that is more responsive than traditional memory foam. 

Brooklyn Bedding Signature mattress

Value shoppers should keep Brooklyn Bedding Signature on their list of ideal options. It’s a premium hybrid mattress that costs the same price as popular foam mattresses like Casper or Purple. It also is available in three different firmness levels so that any sleeping position can find a comfortable option.

Innerspring mattress FAQs

Yes and no. People don’t buy the traditional type of innerspring mattresses your mom or grandma had as a kid. However, modern mattresses do utilize coils or innersprings to provide ample support and durability. However, there are usually layers of foam materials, cotton or wool for added comfort. 

The best innerspring mattresses have 1,000 springs or more. However, smaller mattresses like twin or twin XL beds may have slightly less because they aren’t as large and require less springs in their constructions. 

“Innersprings” and “coils” are terms that can almost be used interchangeably, and they often offer the same benefits of support and durability. However, pocketed coils are all individually cased in fabric, and move independently from one another. This makes it better at isolating motion than traditional innerspring systems which all moved as one cohesive unit. Most innerspring beds these days are made with “pocketed coils” rather than regular innersprings.
