With a pocket sprung bed each spring is given its own little pocket that is completely independent of all the other springs.
It will act on its own accord and will not be influenced by any of the other springs in the bed being depressed by the weight of the person lying in bed.
This independence of spring depression means that a very high degree of comfort can be attained in a pocket sprung divan bed.
A standard sprung bed usually allows a lot of roll together, as well as roll of, both being undesirable effects when you are trying to sleep.
Roll together is the effect created by the weight of two people lying in a double bed.
Their weight creates a depression in the middle of the bed that tends to roll them both together.
Roll off is the effect created when someone lies too close to the edge of the bed, and of course, rolling off a bed on to the floor while fast asleep is not at all what anyone would like to have happen.
A pocket sprung divan bed eliminates all that unnecessary rolling around in bed.
The springs act singly and not in tandem with others.
They create a depression only where a weight is acting directly down.
This also means that the level of comfort experienced is usually much greater than otherwise.
And greater comfort usually also means a better night's sleep all round.
Investing in a pocket sprung divan bed makes sense from every angle.
Conclusion Beds in general have come a long way the Neolithic peoples first created a kind of bed frame, lifted up off the ground and covered in a "mattress" of leaves, straw and grass covered by animal skins.
Today's state of the art pocket sprung divan beds offer a degree of comfort and luxury that simply has to be experienced to be believed.
