Quick Answer: The Restonit Pocket Care Premium at $845 for a queen is the most affordable pocketed coil hybrid in our shipped mattress lineup. It combines individually wrapped coils with foam comfort layers for the best motion isolation under $1,000. Made in Canada, ships rolled, and works on adjustable bases. This is the mattress we recommend for couples who want hybrid support without the Glacier Peyto's $1,045 price tag.

There is a gap in the mattress market that bothers us. You can get a decent all-foam mattress for under $600 (the Borealis Gel). You can get an excellent hybrid for $1,045 (the Glacier Peyto). But between $600 and $1,000, the options for a quality hybrid that ships in a box are thin.
The Restonit Pocket Care Premium fills that gap. At $845 for a queen, it is a pocketed coil hybrid that ships rolled, works on adjustable bases, and provides the motion isolation that couples need. It is not flashy. It does not have ice gel or copper infusion. It just does the core job of a hybrid mattress well.
Why Pocketed Coils Matter (Especially for Couples)
Traditional innerspring mattresses use coils connected by wire. When one coil compresses, it pulls on neighbouring coils, which is why you feel your partner's movement across the entire bed. Research published in Applied Ergonomics found that interconnected coil systems transfer up to 80% of partner movement.
Pocketed coils are different. Each coil is individually wrapped in fabric and operates independently. When one coil compresses under your partner's shoulder, the coils under your hip stay where they are. The practical effect: you feel significantly less of your partner's movement.
Motion Transfer in Mattress Types
A study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine measured motion transfer across mattress types. All-foam mattresses (like the Borealis Gel) had the lowest motion transfer. Pocketed coil hybrids performed nearly as well, with only marginally more transfer. Traditional interconnected coil mattresses transferred substantially more movement. The conclusion: pocketed coils give you coil-level support with near-foam-level motion isolation. That is the hybrid advantage.

Why This Mattress Is Built for Couples
We recommend the Pocket Care most often to couples, and the reasons go beyond motion isolation.
Edge support. Pocketed coils along the perimeter of the mattress provide firmer edge support than all-foam construction. This means both sleepers get the full width of the bed. On an all-foam mattress like the Borealis Gel, sleeping near the edge causes noticeable compression. On the Pocket Care, the edges hold firm. For a queen mattress shared by two adults, those extra inches of usable sleep surface matter.
Temperature regulation. Two bodies generate more heat than one. The coil layer in the Pocket Care allows air to circulate through the mattress, dissipating heat more effectively than solid foam. This is a passive cooling benefit that costs nothing extra.
Different sleep positions. Pocketed coils respond to pressure independently, which means one side of the mattress can accommodate a side sleeper's deeper contour while the other side supports a back sleeper's flatter profile. All-foam mattresses are less adaptive to different simultaneous positions.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: "When a couple comes in and one sleeps on their side and the other sleeps on their back, the Pocket Care is almost always in the conversation. The individually wrapped coils handle different body positions better than a single uniform foam layer. And at $845, it is accessible for most budgets."
How It Sleeps by Position
Side Sleepers
Good pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. The foam comfort layer contours to these pressure points while the pocketed coils underneath provide support without pushing back too firmly. Most side sleepers under 200 lbs find the Pocket Care comfortable.
Back Sleepers
Strong lumbar support. The coils respond to the natural curve of the spine, providing more targeted support than all-foam mattresses. Back sleepers often prefer the Pocket Care over the Borealis Gel because the coils prevent the "sinking" feeling that memory foam can create under the lower back.
Stomach Sleepers
Better than all-foam alternatives. The medium-firm (6/10) feel and coil support keep the hips from sinking too deep, which is the main concern for stomach sleepers. It is not as firm as the Restonit Exquisite at $840, but it provides adequate support for most stomach sleepers under 200 lbs.
Combination Sleepers
This is where the Pocket Care excels over all-foam mattresses. Pocketed coils respond faster than memory foam when you change positions. You do not get the slow "quicksand" feeling of pure memory foam. Position changes feel natural rather than laboured.
Pocket Care vs. Glacier Peyto: The Internal Comparison
| Category | Pocket Care ($845) | Glacier Peyto ($1,045) |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Pocketed coils + foam | Pocketed coils + gel foam |
| Firmness | Medium-firm (6/10) | Medium (5.5/10) |
| Cooling | Good (coil airflow) | Better (coil airflow + gel) |
| Edge Support | Good | Good |
| Motion Isolation | Very good | Very good |
| Profile Thickness | Slimmer | 12 inches |
| Price Difference | Baseline | +$200 |
| Best For | Budget hybrid, couples | Best all-around shipped mattress |
The Glacier Peyto is the better mattress. The gel foam layer adds cooling, the thicker profile provides more comfort layering, and the overall sleep experience is more refined. But the Pocket Care delivers 80% of the Glacier Peyto's performance at 80% of the price. If $200 is the difference between stretching your budget and staying comfortable, the Pocket Care is the right choice.
Pocket Care vs. Borealis Gel: Hybrid vs. All-Foam
This is the more interesting comparison because the price difference is only $260.
| Category | Borealis Gel ($585) | Pocket Care ($845) |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | All gel memory foam | Pocketed coils + foam |
| Motion Isolation | Excellent | Very good |
| Edge Support | Average | Good |
| Cooling | Good (gel) | Better (coil airflow) |
| Responsiveness | Slow (foam feel) | Moderate (coils add bounce) |
| Longevity | 5-7 years | 7-10 years |
| Cost Per Year | $83-$117 | $84-$120 |
When you look at cost per year, the Pocket Care and Borealis Gel are nearly identical. But the Pocket Care sleeps cooler, has better edge support, lasts longer, and responds faster to position changes. If your budget reaches $845, the Pocket Care is the smarter long-term investment.
Talia, Showroom Specialist: "The Pocket Care is the mattress I wish more people knew about. The Borealis Gel gets all the attention because it is our cheapest shipped mattress, and the Glacier Peyto gets attention because it is our best. The Pocket Care sits quietly between them doing a really solid job for couples who want a hybrid without spending over a thousand dollars."
Adjustable Base Compatibility
The Pocket Care works on every adjustable base we carry. The individually pocketed coils flex independently, allowing the mattress to bend when the head or foot section rises. This is a key advantage over traditional innerspring mattresses with interconnected coils, which cannot safely be used on adjustable bases.
| Base | Price | Total with Pocket Care |
|---|---|---|
| SleepBeat SE1005 | $995 | $1,840 |
| Affordable Adjustable | $1,100 | $1,945 |
| Deluxe Adjustable | $1,350 | $2,195 |
The SleepBeat + Pocket Care at $1,840 is our recommended combination for couples who want both adjustable sleeping and hybrid mattress benefits under $2,000.

Is the Pocket Care Premium a hybrid mattress?
Yes. It combines individually pocketed coils with foam comfort layers. The coils provide support and airflow, the foam offers contouring and pressure relief. It ships rolled and compressed like the all-foam Restonit models.
How does the Pocket Care compare to the Glacier Peyto?
Both are Restonit hybrids with pocketed coils. The Glacier Peyto at $1,045 adds gel memory foam and has a thicker 12-inch profile. The Glacier Peyto is the better mattress, but the Pocket Care at $845 offers hybrid benefits at $200 less.
Is the Pocket Care good for couples?
Yes, and this is its strongest use case. Individually pocketed coils absorb movement independently, providing significantly better motion isolation than traditional innerspring mattresses and comparable isolation to all-foam with better edge support and cooling.
Does the Pocket Care work on an adjustable bed?
Yes. The individually pocketed coils flex independently, allowing the mattress to bend on adjustable bases without damage. Pair it with any base from the SleepBeat at $995 to the ErgoSportive at $5,150.
How long will the Pocket Care Premium last?
Hybrid mattresses with pocketed coils typically last 7 to 10 years with proper care. The coil system maintains structural support longer than all-foam mattresses. Using a mattress protector and rotating the mattress every 3 months extends lifespan.
