The 9 Best Innerspring Mattresses That Are Bouncy and Supportive
Just so you know: The tradeoff with bouncy beds is that they often lack motion isolation, and that was the case here. When we dropped a 10-pound kettlebell on the bed, it caused significant vibrations through the mattress.

Why we picked it: If organic everything is important to you, then you’ll love the Avocado Green mattress. The number of certifications backing the quality and sustainability of the brand’s materials makes it an industry standout. For example, its Green mattress incorporates wool and cotton that are certified organic by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and latex that’s certified organic by Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). Avocado is also Climate Neutral Certified, meaning that it’s set out to reduce and offset its carbon emissions. Back to the bed itself: Testers found the Avocado Green comfortable, supportive, and easy to change positions upon.
Who it’s for: The Avocado Green mattress is a good option for back sleepers and stomach sleepers given that testers felt lifted, supported, and able to maintain a neutral spine in both positions. Combination sleepers should also sleep well on the mattress, since it’s highly responsive.
Other winning options: The mattress comes in plush, medium, and firm variations; the medium and plush versions cost more money than the firm version. Avocado also sells a vegan mattress that incorporates cotton in lieu of the Green mattress’s wool.

What is an innerspring mattress?
Simply put, innerspring mattresses are made with springs that are covered with padding and upholstery. “Innerspring mattresses compress under the weight of your body to give desired support, but also provide ample airflow to allow for a cooling effect,” Dr. Marchetti says. “Other mattress types, like foam, hug the body instead of bouncing back.”
Hybrid mattresses, which use springs or coils plus layers of memory foam and/or latex foam, can often provide a nice balance between support and comfort. They can be more versatile than a traditional innerspring mattress.
How to find the best innerspring mattress for you
Mattress shopping can become a huge time suck if you get caught up comparing every tiny detail. Experts say these are the most important elements to prioritize in your purchase.
Type of springs
Innerspring mattresses can vary in the type of coil they utilize (continuous, bonnell, offset, pocketed, etc.) for different effects, says Dr. Marchetti. Generally, we like mattresses with pocketed coils (that’s what the selects in our list use); these are individually wrapped in fabric and can move independently of each other, making them less noisy and better at offering pressure relief.
Mattress firmness is fairly subjective; it essentially describes how hard or soft a bed feels when you get into it. But as a guideline, innerspring mattresses tend to be firmer than other types of mattresses thanks to their solid coil base.
Your go-to sleeping position can influence the best mattress firmness for you. “For back sleepers, generally speaking, the best or the preferred mattress is going to be something that’s medium to medium firm,” says Timothy Roberts, MD, orthopedic spine specialist at NY Spine Institute. “This is because it’s going to give you support evenly throughout the back, which is relatively flat.” As such, these sleepers might especially benefit from the support of an innerspring mattress. Stomach sleepers and people who weigh more also tend to benefit from firmer mattresses, according to Dr. Marchetti.
Meanwhile, side sleepers—who typically want to avoid excess pressure on their shoulders and hips—might find a traditional innerspring too firm. Mattresses that are firm all over (as opposed to individual coils that allow for zoned support) don’t let the shoulders sink in as much, which can result in pain and stiffness.
Pressure relief
Mattress softness can sometimes relate to more pressure relief, or the bed’s ability to distribute your weight throughout the mattress. “Sleeping on your side, your shoulders and hips are going to dig deeper into the mattress,” says Dr. Roberts. So, pressure relief in those regions is especially important for side sleepers.
Back sleepers can benefit from mattresses that use zoned support and are firmest at the lumbar region, and stomach sleepers usually do well with a mattress with added firmness at the hips.
Motion isolation
Motion isolation—as in, how much a mattress shakes or vibrates when someone moves on it— should factor into your decision if you’re easily disturbed by a sleeping partner or pet. (It’s less important if you sleep solo.) This isn’t innerspring mattresses’ strong suit. “There are benefits to innerspring mattresses, but the more modern memory foam mattresses tend to be better for motion isolation,” says Dr. Roberts. The impact-absorbing foam layers in hybrid mattresses often help improve a bed’s motion isolating abilities, though.
Mattresses with springs or coils tend to have better temperature regulation than foam mattresses, according to Dr. Marchetti. So if you sleep hot, or you share the bed with a partner who doubles as a furnace, you might want the increased airflow that you get from an innerspring.
Who is an innerspring mattress good for?
Ultimately, the right mattress for you depends a lot on your budget, sleep style, and other factors. “If you prioritize support, a lower price, and a firm sleeping surface, an innerspring mattress may be the right choice for you,” says Dr. Marchetti.
How to care for an innerspring mattress?
Mattress brands often provide specific info on how to care for your mattress in hopes of maximizing its longevity. For example, Saatva suggests using a mattress protector and vacuuming your mattress twice a year, but notes that the Saatva Classic doesn’t need to be flipped. But in general, here are some tips from the Better Sleep Council, a sleep-research organization, for caring for your mattress:
- Periodically rotate and flip your mattress, unless your mattress’s care instructions say otherwise.
- Encase it in a mattress cover that you wash regularly (to protect it from stains, dust mites, and other allergens).
- Use a high quality bed frame with a strong center support to keep your mattress from bending or breaking.
How we tested these mattresses
Our team takes mattress testing seriously, spending hours with each product to decide what makes the list. We use a variety of tests to evaluate key features of each mattress, including the following:
Firmness
Our testers lie on every mattress and cycle through sleeping positions before rating each on a firmness scale of 1 to 10.
Cooling
In order to get a full picture of a mattress’s temperature regulation, testers use a thermal imaging camera to see how quickly (and how much) the bed heats up when someone lies on it. They also assess whether the mattress gets hot to the touch and if its construction includes cooling materials.
Materials
Our testers don’t just take product claims at face value—they slice each mattress open to see exactly what’s in it and how it’s made.
FAQs
Still unsure about innerspring mattresses? Here are answers to some of the most common Qs about this type of mattress.
What type of spring mattress is best?
The best spring mattress is subjective—you should keep your budget, favored sleeping position, and firmness preferences in mind when choosing, according to Dr. Marchetti. Where sleeping positions are concerned, we found that the Helix Midnight is great for combination sleepers, the DreamCloud Hybrid would work well for side sleepers, back sleepers should appreciate the Nolah Evolution, and stomach sleepers will like the Birch Natural.
What is the difference between coil and innerspring?
They’re essentially the same thing, but you may use one term or the other depending on whether the springs are interconnected. “[Pocket] coil mattresses have individually wrapped coils to provide targeted support and increased pressure relief, as well as better motion isolation,” says Dr. Marchetti. Since they’re individually wrapped, the springs can move independently of one another. Traditional innerspring mattresses, meanwhile, “tend to have interconnected coils to provide a firmer surface,” says Dr. Marchetti.
Is it better to have an innerspring mattress versus other options?
It depends. If you prioritize responsiveness because you like to be able to move around easily, an innerspring mattress is a great fit for you. And if you run hot at night, know that innerspring beds also don’t tend to heat up as easily as many foam options, since the springs allow for better ventilation.
Do hotels use innerspring?
While some hotels use traditional innerspring mattresses, others use hybrid or all-foam models. For example, Four Seasons properties have hybrid mattresses, Fairfield by Marriott rooms have foam mattresses, and Hampton Inn uses innerspring mattresses.
