Spring mattress South Africa, Hybrid foam bed with Bonnell steel coil core

Spring Mattresses South Africa

We make one spring mattress: the Hybrid. It is a foam-and-coil bed built on a real Bonnell steel coil unit, not a pocket spring. Coil count runs from 260 in a Single to 494 in a King, with a 2.4mm coil wire (the market standard is 2.2mm), full oven tempering at 300C, and a 5.5mm border wire clipped on every perimeter coil. It is independently tested to EN 1957, 30,000 cycles under a 140kg rolling load, roughly 8 to 12 years of normal use, with 96% height retention. We publish that report rather than just claim it.

We do not make a pocket spring, and here is why that is honest

A pocket spring mattress wraps each individual coil in its own fabric pocket so it moves independently of its neighbours. It is a genuinely different build to a Bonnell coil, where coils are linked together as one connected unit. We do not currently manufacture a pocket spring mattress, and we would rather tell you that plainly than let a product page imply otherwise. What we do build is a properly engineered Bonnell coil hybrid, with the thicker wire, full tempering and clipped border wire that most cheap Bonnell units skip, backed by a published EN 1957 test result. If a true pocket spring feel is what you specifically want, the Hybrid is not that product; if you want a supportive coil-sprung mattress with a genuine, independently tested lifespan, it is a strong, honest option.

The five things that actually determine whether a coil mattress lasts: border wire and clips (where sagging starts), full tempering (partial tempering is the most common hidden shortcut), foam density above the coil, wire gauge, and the insulator layer between coil and foam. We build to the top of that list first, which is why we publish coil counts and the EN 1957 result rather than only quoting wire gauge.
