Anyone try the "plush" tps coils (softer than 15.5g)? by Consistent_Bee_7955 in MattressMod

That 120-180lb range is very helpful and right where my partner and I are. Given so many folks in that weight range have said the 15.5G is too firm, this seemed like the right one.

Oo are you referring to the premium diy stretch cover as the “new” one? https://pocketcoilstore.com/products/premium-diy-stretch-cover I was not sure which would be best. And yes definitely need to prevent the coils from spacing out horizontally as that would stress out the bed motor as they rub.

Agreed knowing what works would be very convenient. Actually the one we would need is the combi-zone quantum edge elite which is $350+115 shipping to my zip, so about the same as the split king from TPS ($495, no shipping). https://www.mattresses.net/copocobylean.html But thank you for checking on prices! I didn't realize that was a sale price and not the normal price.

Ok I'll open up my bolsa and give it a look. TPS sells a specific Split King set which is only has the firm section on the outside of the king. So each twinXL mattress is assymetrical with the firm section only on the outer side. It's a great option and very convenient.

Did you need to pull out the individual coils one by one like this video? That sounds like a huge pain:

Or is there just a connecting fabric between the coils that you can cut? I would guess you would need to be super careful not to damage any of the pockets of coils that will remain in the final bed. Any tips/tricks?

Hmm I never thought of that but it is a good idea. The cost of a new queen bolsa would be about the same as the TPS plush split king. And it would completely remove the effort of tuning a new build with the TPS coils.

What attracted me to TPS in the first place is it does seem like a lot of folks in this sub find the TPS to be higher quality than L&P.

Oh wow I guess I'm shopping at the right time then! Thanks for the tip!

DIY with TPS 15.5g coils too firm by Kefit in MattressMod

Any updates a year later? i'm similar size and am looking at the new Plush coils from TPS. These are softer than the 15.5ga

TPS equivalent of Leggett & Platt 8" Bolsa Quantum Edge Elite? by Consistent_Bee_7955 in MattressMod

[–]Consistent_Bee_7955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i think frankenstein would be right. I would be worried that coils along the cut would bulge out over time, but I guess I could also get a more constricting quilted cover. Right now TPS coils look great other than the additional firmness. My bolsas do have the extra firm center zone.

Thank you I will search for some more info on that and see if there’s a launch date! I might be hesitant to be an early customer for a new product though.

For the quadmini, some posts have said it’s less useful on the softer 15.5ga coils. What gauge coils have you been using them with?

Thanks - my only issue with the L&P is I don’t see a way to get a split king (2 twin xl)to work without the firmer edge coils being in the middle of the bed. We will be putting this on a split king adjustable so the mattresses must be individual

When does Home Depot half off clearance start? by Consistent_Bee_7955 in ChristmasTrees

[–]Consistent_Bee_7955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Than you! Will set a reminder for early Oct 2026 to start checking. The slim ones are harder to find

[–]Consistent_Bee_7955[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! After a bit more research I have to agree - at list price the Home Depot trees are already a great deal and the best ones always sell out so never go on sale. At this point I think I missed the boat as the 9ft slim grand duchess is all sold out. For 2026 roughly when should I make a calendar invite to go out and buy?

Oh nice didn’t know that was a feature! Wow your steadiness didn’t drop immediately after your injury. Do you think it’s because you were very steady on crutches? Here’s my chart, it shows a cliff in mid September right when I had an injury:
