What are the different types of mattress coils and how do they impact your sleep?

A close-up shot of the coil system inside a mattress while a person lies on the top of the bed.

Coils comprise the support core of an innerspring or hybrid mattress, but did you know there are multiple types? While all of them are designed to provide support and add airflow, each type of mattress coil serves its own purpose, whether it's soothing your pressure points or reducing motion transfer.

Our best mattresses guide features hybrids that combine individually wrapped pocket coils with layers of foam. Traditional innerspring mattresses, meanwhile, may use Bonnell, offset, or continuous wire coils, but luxury innerspring models tend to favor pocket springs for their responsiveness and versatility.
