Spring Air has been an industry-leading mattress brand since 1926, when they started out in Holland, Michigan. Their innovations have been widely mimicked by other leading competitors. Spring Air makes a large variety of comfortable and supportive mattresses from quality materials.
Spring Air has innerspring, hybrid, and all-foam mattresses. They make Gflex gel memory foam mattresses that are specific to the Embrace and Exquisite collections. Their Hotel Collection provides the more traditional double-sided innerspring mattresses. The Back Supporter Collection is constructed with center zoning which adds firmness in the middle of the bed for extra back support, as is the Four Seasons Back Supporter Collection.
The Back Supporter line has center zoning for enhanced back support, which helps keep the spine aligned. Each mattress is topped with several layers of quality foam for pressure relief.
There is a wide range of comfort levels, from very firm to very soft, so you can find the back support that suits you. For further information, read our Back Supporter Review.
The Embrace mattresses and Exquisite mattresses use Gflex Gel Memory Foam, which is a high-performance memory foam that is very durable and provides pressure relief for those pain points. Gel memory foam has a cooling element that creates a more restful night of sleep by minimizing overheating.
There are firm and medium comfort levels in this collection. The Embrace collection has custom-sized mattresses for those looking for a non-traditional size.
The Hotel & Suites mattresses have a traditional innerspring feel and are double-sided, meaning you can flip them. They use latex, memory foam, and pocketed coils, which provide support in all the right places and decrease motion transfer.
The Sleep Sense Hybrid Plus collection has quilts made with antimicrobial fibers for a healthier sleep environment. The Milan Luxe Knit gives these mattresses a unique feel and look.
They have an encased coil system that conforms to your body. The gel-infused memory foam inserts extend the comfort life and the gel/Visco lumbar support ensures a supported back and aligned spine.
The Four Seasons Back Supporter collection has zoned individually wrapped coils for extra back support. True to the name, it caters to specific seasons with year-round temperature regulation.
A number of the mattresses have quilts woven with wool antimicrobial fibers on one side to help sleepers stay warm during fall and winter. The flipside has silk antimicrobial fibers, allowing more airflow for a cooler sleep during the spring and summer months.
Certain models are available in custom sizes for those who need a non-traditional size. To learn more about this collection, read our Four Seasons Back Supporter Review.

Gflex Gel Memory Foam |
Gflex Gel Memory Foam is a type of memory foam that is combined with a high-performance gel, which helps you sleep cooler and reduces painful pressure points. This means less tossing and turning for a deeper night of rest. It is a very durable material, so it will extend the comfort life of your mattress. It is recommended for those who enjoy the contouring of memory foam, but may not want to experience the sinking feeling. Available in the Embrace and Exquisite collections. Sleep Sense Hybrid Plus models have gel-infused memory foam inserts. |
Foam Encased Edge Support |
The foam-encased edge support uses a high-density bloc foam, which provides uniform support across the entire mattress, as well as a firm seating edge. This helps prevent that rolling-off-the-edge feeling, which is especially beneficial for couples who are sharing a mattress. |
Center Zoning |
Center zoning delivers long-lasting back support using high-density coils or body contouring with an individually encased coil design. The added firmness in the middle of the bed with this design would be very helpful to those dealing with back pain who need that extra support throughout the night. Available on the Back Supporter and Four Seasons Back Supporter collections. |
Antimicrobial Fibers |
Antimicrobial fibers are woven into the quilt to provide a healthier night of sleep. They are resistant to mold, mildew, and dust-mites, meaning they can be of great help to those suffering from allergies. The antimicrobial fibers will go a long way in maintaining a fresh and clean mattress, improving the nightly experience, and extending the life of the mattress. |
Spring Air mattresses are available through several stores and online retailers. Delivery will be made by an in-home team and is usually free. There are additional options to add in-home setup and removal of your old mattress.
All Spring Air mattresses have a 10-year warranty against factory defects.
Spring Air originated many mattress designs and features now used by leading competitors. Francis Karr, the founder, came up with the free-end double offset coil design. This design uses progressive resistance, which adjusts to meet each sleeper’s comfort needs. This became the most copied design in the industry and was only the beginning of how they would shake things up.
Spring Air started the trend of using a quilted surface, rather than a button-top. In the '50s, they introduced the Health Center mattress. It was the first design with separate support zones for different areas of the body. Spring Air also introduced the pillow top mattress in 1973, which has become a staple feature in the industry.
Spring Air is a global brand, with 8 domestic factories and 35 international licensees. They operate in 43 countries around the world.
Under the Spring Air umbrella is a luxury brand called Chattam & Wells. Read our Chattam & Wells Mattress Review to learn more about it.
