What's good mattress? We know that different people have different standards for good mattress. Then how do we know is it good mattress for ourselves. The best way to answer that is to ask our body.

The quality of the mattress cannot be judged solely by the number of springs. The type and density of the spring will also affect its supporting capacity. Independent springs have stronger supporting f
