NM® Springwall® Great Value Mattresses

How to Choose a Great Value Mattress

An affordable mattress is not a compromised mattress, it is one where the money went into the parts that carry your body rather than the parts that only change how the surface feels at first. At an entry price you should still expect a genuine support core, either heat-tempered drawn spring steel coils or a polyurethane support foam base dense enough to hold its shape, a quilted cover, a real choice of firmness, and manufacturer warranty coverage. Springwall, Serta, Sealy, Beautyrest and our own NM lines all build into this tier in extra firm, firm, medium and plush, so you are picking a feel rather than accepting whatever is cheapest.

The honest trade at this price sits in the comfort layers and the coil geometry, not in the support. Connected coil units, Bonnell and continuous coil, join their springs so the surface responds as one sheet: durable and inexpensive, with more movement travelling between two sleepers. Pocket coil units seal each spring in its own fabric pocket so it compresses on its own, and entry designs such as Posture Touch Pocket Coils, 800 Edition Custom Support and the 815 Original Beautyrest Pocketed Coil bring that isolation down into this tier. What genuinely costs more sits above the springs: thicker quilting, coil zoning, micro coils and reinforced perimeter rows. If your budget stretches, the premium tier is where those layers start to appear.
