The inventor of the pocket spring: a man who changed the way we sleep

Founded over a century ago, Simmons revolutionised the sleep industry with its iconic innovation: pocket springs. These individually wrapped springs offer personalised support, moulding to the contours of the body for an unrivalled sleep experience.

Simmons’ history dates back to 1870, when Zalmon G. Simmons created the first version of the pocket spring mattress. Since then, the brand has continued to evolve, combining tradition and technology to create mattresses and bed bases of exceptional quality.

Simmons’ pocket springs are distinguished by their meticulous design. Each spring is individually wrapped in a fabric pocket, allowing for independent movement. This revolutionary feature eliminates uncomfortable pressure points and provides balanced support for your entire body.

A commitment to the environment

Beyond technical innovation, Simmons is also committed to sustainability. The materials used in the manufacture of springs and mattresses are carefully selected to minimise environmental impact. The brand strives to reduce its environmental footprint by using recycled and recyclable materials and adopting eco-friendly manufacturing practices. From the selection of raw materials to the production of Simmons Mattresses, Simmons incorporates eco-responsible processes. Choosing a Simmons Mattress means opting for unique comfort whilst respecting the planet!
