Firm Miracoil Springs Mattresses

Q: What should I consider when choosing a size?

Number of Sleepers: If you're sharing the bed with a partner or spouse, it's generally recommended to choose at least a double-sized mattress or larger for adequate space and comfort. Bedroom Size: Measure your bedroom to ensure that the selected mattress size fits comfortably, allowing space for other furniture and easy movement around the room. Personal Comfort Preferences: Consider your sleeping habits and preferences. A larger mattress may provide more comfort if you tend to move around a lot during sleep. Guest Accommodations: If the mattress is for a guest room, consider the typical guests you'll host. A double or king-size mattress can offer flexibility for accommodating couples or individual guests comfortably. Budget: Larger mattresses generally come with higher costs. Set a budget that aligns with your needs and preferences while considering the overall cost, including bed linens and accessories. Room Layout: Consider the layout of your bedroom, including the placement of doors, windows, and other furniture. Ensure the mattress size allows for a balanced and aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Remember that individual preferences and needs vary, so your best mattress size will depend on your specific circumstances. If possible, try out mattresses in a showroom or take advantage of trial periods offered by mattress retailers to determine the most comfortable size for your sleep habits

A firm mattress is a firmness that offers very little give or sink, providing a very supportive sleeping surface and distributing your body weight more evenly than softer mattresses. Firm mattresses are perfect for front and back sleepers.

Miracoil springs are interconnected vertically rather than horizontally. This design aims to offer better support to the sleeper and help minimize the roll-together effect

What is the best type of mattress?

Each type of mattress has its benefits, firmness, and feel. As each body is different, it is important to know your sleeping needs and choose a mattress that can provide you with the best support and comfort.

When choosing a mattress, consider your sleeping circumstances, the level of support you need, and the feeling you want to achieve. If you want a traditional mattress with natural fillings offering great support, then a pocket spring mattress might be the right choice. A memory foam mattress might be your best choice if you need a mattress to help alleviate back pain.

When it comes to firmness, the most important thing is to choose a mattress that you feel comfortable on.

Sleeping on a supportive base is essential for a good night's sleep. Before purchasing, it is important to research what mattress is best for your individual sleeping needs.

Which mattress size should I get?

Choosing the right mattress size depends on several factors, including the number of people using the mattress, the size of the bedroom, and individual preferences. Here are the standard mattress sizes and considerations for each:

What is the healthiest type of mattress?

The healthiest mattress provides you with the right amount of support and comfort. Memory foam and pocket springs offer the most benefits as these systems help keep your body properly supported, leading to a more regenerative and deeper sleep. This, in turn, will help make you feel refreshed and recharged when you wake each day. Sleepeezee mattresses have a range of hybrid mattresses encompassing both pocket springs and memory gel, offering the best of both worlds for comfort and support.

How do I choose the right mattress firmness?

The right mattress firmness depends on your body shape, weight, sleeping position, and preferences. We offer a wide range of mattress firmness from soft to firm that you can find in our "By Comfort" Section.

If you are a back sleeper, you should opt for a medium-firm mattress. As a side sleeper, you should try a medium-feel, and as a stomach sleeper, a firm mattress might be your best option.

How do I dispose of an old mattress?

We are highly committed to protecting the environment. Therefore, we offer a Disposal and Recycle Service. We can collect your old mattress when we deliver a new one. Rest assured that we will dispose of your old mattress in an environmentally friendly way.

What are the different types of mattresses?

Open Coil Mattress

The open coil mattress is a popular budget option that contains one long piece of metal wire coiled into numerous springs. They are the most common type of mattresses, but with the new industry innovations, they tend to be less supportive than other mattresses.

Pocket Spring Mattress

Made from individual springs housed in their fabric pocket, providing more support than open coil mattresses.

Memory Foam

Made from memory foam, a mouldable material that responds to temperature and weight and has hypo-allergenic properties.

Latex Mattress

Filled with latex foam, this mattress is breathable and prevents overheating. They are also good for those suffering from allergies or asthma.

Hybrid Mattress

A combination of pocket springs and other materials such as memory foam or latex. They often come as a pocket spring base and a memory foam layer, combining comfort and support.

Miracoil Springs FAQ's

What is a Miracoil spring system?

The Miracoil spring system, developed by Silentnight, is an innovative open-coil mattress support system. Unlike conventional open-coil designs, Miracoil springs are continuous and run vertically from head to toe rather than horizontally. This distinctive construction delivers several advantages:

Zoned Support: It offers firmer reinforcement for the lower back while providing softer cushioning for pressure-sensitive areas like the shoulders and hips.
Minimized Motion Transfer: The vertically interconnected springs reduce the transfer of movement across the mattress, making it an excellent choice for couples.
Prevents Roll-Together: The system evenly distributes weight, ensuring sleepers stay in place and avoid rolling toward each other.
Enhanced Durability & Edge Support: The continuous coil design not only boosts the mattress's longevity but also ensures consistent support from edge to edge.

How does a Miracoil mattress differ from a traditional pocket sprung mattress?

A Miracoil mattress and a traditional pocket sprung mattress differ in several important aspects:

Spring Structure
- Miracoil Mattress: Features a continuous coil system that runs vertically from head to toe, offering zoned support and improved weight distribution.
- Pocket Sprung Mattress: Consists of individually wrapped springs that move independently, providing tailored contouring and enhanced motion isolation.
Motion Transfer
- Miracoil: Minimizes movement across the mattress due to its vertical coil design, making it a good option for couples.
- Pocket Springs: Excels in motion isolation, as each spring operates independently, reducing disturbances caused by a partner's movements.
Support & Firmness
- Miracoil: Typically offers a firmer feel with zoned support, ideal for back and stomach sleepers seeking pressure relief.
- Pocket Springs: Available in a range of firmness levels, from soft to firm, depending on the spring count and materials, providing greater versatility.
Edge Support
- Miracoil: Generally delivers stronger edge support, minimizing sagging and ensuring a consistent sleeping surface.
- Pocket Springs: Edge support varies by design—some models feature reinforced edges, while others may lose support over time.
Price & Durability
- Miracoil: Often more affordable and durable due to its continuous coil construction.
- Pocket Springs: Can be pricier, especially with higher spring counts, but they offer superior comfort and customization.

Which One is Better?

Opt for a Miracoil mattress if you prioritize firm, zoned support, affordability, and long-lasting durability.
Choose a pocket sprung mattress if you value personalized comfort, advanced motion isolation, and contouring support.

Are Miracoil mattresses good for back support?

Yes, Miracoil mattresses are excellent for back support due to their innovative zoned support system and firm construction. Here’s why they are effective for maintaining spinal alignment:

Zoned Support for Pressure Relief
Miracoil mattresses utilize zoned spring technology, which provides:
- Firmer support in the lower back and lumbar region to help maintain proper spinal alignment.
- Softer support around the shoulders and hips to alleviate pressure points.
Even Weight Distribution
Unlike traditional coil mattresses, Miracoil springs run vertically from head to toe rather than horizontally. This design prevents sagging and reduces pressure on the spine, ensuring even weight distribution.
Reduced Motion Transfer
The continuous spring system minimizes movement across the mattress, keeping your body in a stable position throughout the night.
Firmer Feel for Proper Posture
Miracoil mattresses generally have a firmer feel, making them ideal for:
- Back sleepers: Supports the natural curvature of the spine.
- Stomach sleepers: Prevents excessive sinking, which can strain the lower back.
- People with lower back pain: Promotes proper alignment and helps reduce discomfort.

How long does a Miracoil mattress last?

A Miracoil mattress typically lasts 7 to 10 years, depending on factors such as usage, quality, and care.
