Waking Up Sore? 5 Signs It’s Time to Switch to a Pocket Sprung Mattress

Do you wake up feeling stiffer and more tired than when you went to bed? It is a frustration many of us face, yet we often overlook the most obvious culprit hiding right beneath our sheets. While traditional open-coil mattresses move as a single unit—creating that "roll-together" effect and pressure points—a pocket sprung mattress is engineered differently.

By housing individual springs in their own fabric pockets, these mattresses contour perfectly to your unique body shape. If you have been struggling to get comfortable, your bed might be trying to tell you something. Here are the five tell-tale signs that your current mattress has passed its prime and why a pocket sprung upgrade, like our Allure Collection, is the key to reclaiming your sleep.

1. The "Roll-Together" Effect

Do you constantly find yourself rolling towards the middle of the bed? This happens when the open coil springs in older mattresses lose their tension and link together, creating a hammock effect. The Allure’s 1000 pocket springs work independently, meaning your side of the bed stays level, even if your partner is heavier than you.

2. Morning Back Ache

Waking up with a stiff lower back that eases off after a hot shower is a classic sign your mattress lacks support. Your spine needs to stay neutral while you sleep. The Allure features a 50mm memory foam layer that fills the gap between your back and the mattress, providing essential lumbar support that prevents that morning stiffness.

3. You Can Feel Every Movement

If you wake up every time your partner gets up for a glass of water, your current mattress has high "motion transfer." The individual springs in the Allure are housed in their own fabric pockets, which essentially "quarantine" movement. When someone moves on one side, the vibrations don't travel to the other, ensuring you enjoy an undisturbed rest.

4. No Edge Support

Do you feel like you’re going to roll off the bed if you sleep too close to the edge? This effectively shrinks your sleeping space. The Allure uses a robust spring unit that provides consistent tension right to the very edge, letting you use 100% of the mattress surface.

5. Visible Sagging

Take the sheets off and look at your mattress profile. If you see a permanent body impression or dip where you usually sleep, the internal structure has failed. Once a mattress sags, it can no longer support your spine correctly. It is time to upgrade to the durable, high-density foam and steel spring construction of a new luxury mattress.
