No Two People are the Same
and that's why
No One Mattress is Right for Everyone.
Purchasing an innerspring mattress is easy,
as long as you know certain facts:

There are two important factors a good mattress should provide for a good night's rest:

Provide proper spine alignment.
Provide proper body weight distribution.
This can be achieved by making sure that the mattress has an innerspring unit firm enough to provide proper support for the size person that will be sleeping on it. Have you ever woken up with your arm or leg "asleep"? Have you ever tossed and turned all night, then woken up feeling like you hadn't slept at all? When your weight is distributed evenly, Your circulation isn't restricted and you sleep more restfully. This can be achieved by making sure the mattress has enough layers of padding to fill the areas like the small of your back when you lie on it.

Model Names can be Confusing
It is better to concentrate on each model's specifications, i.e. the innerspring unit, the gauge (thickness) of the wire used in the unit and the types of padding and ticking (cover material) used.

The vast majority of innerspring units found in today's mattresses are made by one manufacturer, who sells them to almost all mattress manufacturers.
Knowing this makes it easy to compare different manufacturers, especially the large name-brands to the smaller "off" brands

There are 4 types of innerspring units used in today's mattresses:
Indivdual Pocket Coil
Continuous Coil
Considered the most conforming coil. Gives a mattress a very "quiet" feel. This coil produces the least amount of motion when someone else sits or lies on the bed. Coil counts range from 580 to 704. Each row of coils is made up of one continuous wire, rather than each coil being a seperate wire. Considered a firm, yet individually conforming coil. The firmest coils Leggett & Platt makes are constructed this way. Coil counts range from 442 to 755.
Offset Coil
Bonnell Coil
Each coil is oval in shape lapped over the coil in the next row. Considered a firm, yet individually conforming coil. Coil counts range from 368 to 680. Classic "hour glass" shaped coil found in most basic bedding. Coil counts range from 210 to 364

Innerspring units are named by the number of coils in a full (or double) size bed.
To compare coils, you must know the number of coils in a full size, regardless of the size bed you are actually buying.
It also helps to know the guage of the wire used.
The lower the guage, the thicker the wire, and the firmer the bed will be.
Comfort should be the most important factor!
Specifications will help in determining the quality of a mattress, but it if it isn't comfortable, it's not the right mattress for you.
Find the type of innerspring unit you prefer, with the upholstery and padding you find comfortable, then find the manufacturer that puts together the best mattress with that particular innerspring.
