Is it better to have more coils in a mattress?

Many people believe that a higher coil count automatically means a better mattress. While coil count does play a role in support, it isn’t the only factor. The thickness (gauge) of the coils is equally important. Thicker coils generally provide stronger support and can be more durable.

Manufacturers sometimes stack smaller coils over regular coils to inflate the coil count, but this doesn’t always improve comfort or longevity. For a Queen-size mattress, around 800 coils are usually sufficient. Going much higher than that can be more about marketing than actual performance.

Instead of focusing solely on coil count, consider overall construction, coil gauge, and brand reputation. Buying from a reputable manufacturer ensures you’re getting a quality mattress designed for long-term support.
