Do more coils equal more comfort?
|
I was wondering what affect that coil count, or coil density, has on the feel of a mattress. Today's mattresses often seem to have a greater coil density than mattresses manufatured, say, 20 years ago - are these greater number of coils really necessary to increase the "cushioning" effect of the mattress? It seems that I've noticed a general pattern of mattresses with a lower coil density having a lower coil gauge (thickness). Do these characteristics make the mattress more "rigid" and "harder" than mattresses that have a higher coil gauge and a greater coil density? I'm in a situation where it may be necessary to minimize the amount of foam in whatever mattress I purchase, so the properties of the coil-system become that much more important to me. Would this bed be comfortable enough for a relatively short, heavy person? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_08212678000P?blockNo=51&blockType=G51&prdNo=1&i_cntr=1323845968552
