Support is delivered to your back through the support system’s ability to resist downward pressure, which is applied to it from your body’s weight. A good support system will sense the weight that is applied from various parts of your body, and respond with the proper upward resistance - thus support is achieved. 

Most consumers make the mistake of thinking that a firm mattress will provide better support for their back than a plush or pillow top mattress. This is simply not the case. In fact, the same support systems often come with firm, medium or soft comfort layers.  

Many people ask if more springs are better. The answer is…no. Trying to compare the quality of mattresses between brands based on coil count is not applicable. There are just too many variables in coil design, function, and durability for consumers to understand what they are getting without spending days on coil research. You can be assured that all Sleepyhead mattresses have fantastic support, so you can focus on selecting the right comfort feel and particular model for your needs. 

Sleepyhead has a large range of different support systems. We employ product engineers who work constantly to develop quality, supportive sleep systems. Zoned options are available with all of our systems. This means that the system is sectioned in to different zones that are designed to react differently and give your body different support where you need it most. For example in the lumbar zone where we carry most of our weight, springs need to be able to respond differently to the body than they do at the foot end of your mattress. 

Look for a mattress which provides even body weight distribution, exceptional lower back support and pressure point reduction. And most importantly ask questions…its important you know about the type of support available and that you are properly informed on the product and purchase.
