Well, that's the point of using pocketed coils -- to have them conform to your body -- isn't it? But without the feeling of being beaten by a roll of quarters, I'd hope. (Great analogy, by the way. The pocket coils in my low-end Simmons mattress are 13 gauge, and they might be a tad too sturdy for me 'cause I'm such a lightweight.)
...I'm envisioning a foam sack full of loose coils.
I'd expect the coil pockets (not the coils themselves, but the fabric pockets) to be connected to each other in some fashion, so they shouldn't be completely loose. I'm guessing that the "foam encasing" refers to a foam border around the whole mattress, not around each coil.

Being a Simmons, perhaps your mattress has individual coil springs? I personally do not like these and wonder if it would be troublesome covering them with Latex. But I suppose you can expect to replace existing foam with better foam.
Talalay Latex comfort layers range 1", 2", 3" and 6", and 19-32 ILD.
If you put 4-6" of foam on the existing 7.5 springs, you won't be reducing your mattress height, yes?
Be sure you know what has failed... the existing foam... the springs... or the box spring foundation below it all, if there is one. Surgery can only fix the top comfort layers.

Yes, I agree that the intent of individual coils is to contour to the body, but there is more to consider than just their profile response.
Specifically, how the body's weight is distributed (pressure relief) across the coils, and in particular, across neighboring coils when some coils are carrying much heavier bearing points like shoulders and hips or butts than that of their immediate neighbor coils. How well your body weight is distributed across the individual coils...

However, to be honest, laying on mattresses in stores has always been hit or miss for me. At first, they all feel good. I did research this mattress (as previously detailed) and when I laid on it at first it felt awesome. As it did for quite some time. In fact, my mattress feels good at first now, but i just wake up sore and twisted.
So, what I think I need to understand is (and...

After a short 5 years, our Simmons Beautyrest Black Exquisite mattress has large sag spots where my wife & I sleep. We've looked at new Latex Bliss mattresses and like them alot, then I came across the posts on Mattress Surgery and became curious.
The bed is basically a 12" mattress with about a 4.5" firm pillow top sewn on. It's a real problem trying to find deep pocket sheets to fit! After cutting a couple of inspection holes, it looks like the mattress is (from the bottom up), 7.5" of mattress springs, 2" of foam, 1" of foam, 1/2" of some cloth/mesh material. The topper is foam with some latex in it.
We really like the feel of the Latex Bliss Entice (3.0 Hybrid) & Beautiful (Natural) mattresses and...
