<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: More Coils Are Not Necessarily Better
It's easy to think that the more coils a mattress has, the better its quality. But according to BestBedGuide.com, the construction of the coils themselves is more important. A mattress could have a high coil count, but if the coils are poorly constructed, the result is a low-quality mattress.
On the Other: Coil Gauge Matters
The lower the gauge, the stronger and heavier the coil wire. For example, a 12-gauge coil will be stronger and more supportive than a 16-gauge coil. How tightly each coil is wound and the heating and cooling process the coils undergo during fabrication is also important.
Bottom Line
Coil number isn't the most important factor when you're looking for a good mattress; but the experts at BestBedGuide.com say the minimum number of coils a mattress should have is 300 for a full-size mattress, 375 for a queen-size and 450 for a king-size . Purchase your mattress from a reputable salesperson, who won't try to make a sale based on coil number alone.
