The springs in my 10-year-old King Koil matress have lost their shape or memory, and I was just out looking at matresses. I am very disappointed at what I saw. The vast majority of inner-spring matresses have an extra 2" to 4" foam layer sewn to the top. The ones that don't are non-reversable (only one "sleep" side"). And ALL of them are covered with various types of super-soft and SUPER ABSORBANT cover material that I'm sure will stain easily and readily absorb sweat and other body fluids. I'm told this change happened around 5 - 6 years ago. I think this new style bull-crap, and designed to accelerate the wear and tear of these products (forced or designed obselescence). Does anyone still make an inner-coil matress with a decent (slightly-padded) cover ON BOTH SIDES, with a cover material that is non or minimally-absorbant (ie - has a sheen to it) ???? !!!!
