What Are Innerspring Mattresses Made Of?

Example of the inside of a innerspring mattress

Innerspring mattresses come in two different styles
1. Open Coil 
2. Individually Pocket Springs
The base of innerspring mattresses consist of steel coil springs for support. The quilting on top of the mattress can range in color, coolness options and is typically made out of cotton blend fabrics. ​

FUN FACT: When it comes to coils, the number of coils does not always mean you'll have the same level of comfort from one mattress to another. However, the number of coils do help reduce motion transfer and make a difference in the level of support a mattress has. 

Depending on the manufacturer innerspring mattresses may sometimes include other types of foam, including memory foam, gel memory foam, latex materials. Innerspring mattresses also have edge support . This consists of thick metal rods or foam inserts that make the edge of the bed comfortable enough to sit and sleep on.
