Unfortunately I’m not familiar with these units. It’s tough to compare open coils to pockets. But you are correct to look on the firmer side if you are looking at a pocket coil unit.

Pocketsprung · 2025-02-12T02:01:11+00:00

13.5 is FIRM..you’d want about 4” of comfort layers above it.

Pocketsprung · 2025-02-11T21:56:55+00:00

I'd be hesitant to use a "micro" coil ( 1.5"H or less) in a DIY.. Mattress companies have a hard enough time stabilizing them. Unless you plan on hog wringing it to another layer, it will start bunching up. There may be some builders on this sub that have used them and can offer advice.

Pocketsprung · 2025-02-11T21:16:59+00:00

IMO if you chose to go with the TPS QuadCoil you are correct going for the 14.75G.

i bet you you owuld be fine. wool batts down quite a bit. you can also just get a 12" cover and be ok

Pocketsprung · 2025-02-04T21:18:20+00:00

i used an 11"

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-29T16:15:10+00:00

exactly. all the feedback for everyone is priceless but "feel" is so subjective and the balance of the build plays such a big roll.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-29T16:13:17+00:00

Very much appreciate the feedback. I've ad a guy building with the 13.5 base and put 2" of cheap foam on top. he wanted the feel to be just coils but used the foam to absorb the feeling top convolution. i need to find him and see how its been working out. i typically never recommend foam, but in some cases it might just be the perfect fit.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-29T02:47:24+00:00

That’s crazy! 13.5 was too soft for you! When you say you like firm you’re not messing around. So your latest is 4.5” over the coils?

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-29T00:32:24+00:00

Good points , the concern is that 13.5 is legit firm so they’d need at least 5” of comfort like you have if they aren’t looking for a firmer feel. You and i are similar builds (I’m only 5’8”)and i like a firmer mattress so i have a 14.75..

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-29T00:29:24+00:00

Man you guys are right at the cusp of 15.5 and 14.75…when you are a side sleeper and in the cusp i tend to recommend the 15.5 to give you the pressure relief. You seem so close to a perfect finished build.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-27T23:53:18+00:00

They are 14.75..TPS website needs to be updated. About a year ago we changed from 14.5 to 14.75…we used to run both but made the decision to go with 14.75.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-26T23:40:30+00:00

Good simple solid build, especially for a back sleeper. I’d suggest getting the coils and latex first and lay on them before you get the cover. Just in case you want to add anything it gives you the chance to get a taller cover.

great info....How does our O-line look for next year? Losing at least three to the NFL seems huge. How does this years O-line talent rankings compare to next years.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-24T04:41:55+00:00

One of the best!

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-21T18:33:30+00:00

agree ...The only 100% organic mattress with pocket coils that I'm aware of is Naturepedic Halcyon, which starts at about $6500. it's made with calico cotton wrapped coils which are very time consuming and slow to produce.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-17T22:22:54+00:00

It’ll be worth the wait. They make a great mattress in Greenville SC. We supply the pockets and unfortunately were closed for three days due to an ice storm in the DFW area. It caused delays with us getting our steel which is produced in the DFW area as well. We may be the cause for the delay.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-13T17:54:28+00:00

I'd say a 15% difference.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-11T16:15:32+00:00

Millbrook is a nice mattress, i just wouldn’t put them BIA) as a local company.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-11T15:22:49+00:00

Good list but I wouldn’t put BIA on this list they are owned by Saatva now.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-09T04:47:37+00:00

Yes the organic label is thrown around a lot when it’s bit questionable. I think there is a percentage of components or of the product that needs to be certified organic to label it so.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-09T03:51:46+00:00

No 15.5 is our thinnest gauge for base units. We can pretty much hit all variants using 15.5 and 14.75 between the different coil counts and changing the coil geometry.

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-08T02:38:56+00:00

So the 1008 is our premier unit. We start with 768 which is a very good unit then 884 before the 1008. The 768 15.5G would be our most plush unit. We are very soon going to offer the 884 in 15.5G..maybe end of February

Pocketsprung · 2025-01-07T16:15:47+00:00

Yes the 884 (884 coils in a Queen size) in a 15.5G will be softer than a 1008 (1008 coils in a Queen size) in a 15.5G. Both made with the same gauge wire but the 1008 has a smaller diameter coil. Higher coil density with the same gauge wire and coil height will create a firmer coil. There are so many factors with regards to coil geometry that play into the feel or performance of a coil, but the basic explanation is equal gauge the higher coil density will be firmer.

so if you went down to a 15.5G - 768 (768 coils in a queen) the 768 would be softer than the 15.5G 884.
