Factors to Consider: Coil Count and Gauge

Two things are important for a mattress. These are coil count and coil gauge.

Coil Count

Coil count is how many coils are in the mattress. More coils can mean better support. But it’s not the only thing.

– Twin mattresses: At least 300 coils.
– Full mattresses: At least 300 coils.
– Queen mattresses: At least 400 coils.
– King mattresses: At least 480 coils.

Coil Gauge

Coil gauge is how thick the coil wire is. Lower numbers mean thicker coils. Thicker coils usually last longer.

– Thinner coils (14-17 gauge): Good for lighter people. Or for a soft feel.
