Does a higher spring count mean a better mattress?
In short
No. Spring count mainly reflects packing density in a stated size. Firmness, durability and comfort still depend on wire gauge, zoning and comfort layers. Always compare count within the same size and build type, preferably as springs per square metre.
More detail
One thousand springs in a Single is denser than one thousand in a Super King. Open-coil units show lower absolute counts because coils are larger and linked. Read the spring-count guide for interpretation rules.
