What's the big deal about iCoil and why should you care?
If you were looking for a mattress that would last a lifetime, no matter what the brand name, you'd only have one simple question to ask, but before we get to that question, consider what you're up against as a mattress shopper.
If you've been bed shopping, lately, you are surely aware of the myriad of different mattress materials that are being used.
Years ago, even before all these choices, I remember being confused, myself, with trying to wrap my mind around everything I was being told by the salespeople in different stores I would visit.
Today, the job is even more daunting with air, water, latex, gel, memory foam, iCoil and springs of all kinds making up the market, it's really confusing for you, the consumer.
In spite of the vast array of mattress %materials% available, it's a well known fact that a whopping 75%-80% of Americans still prefer sleeping on spring mattresses.
With this in mind, you might want to spend a couple of minutes with me, educating yourself on the difference in springs and what that means to you.
Bonnell springs are the most common kind of springs that mattresses are made with, so let's take a look at them.
The bonnell spring mattresses are made by securing all the springs together as a unit and then surrounding them with a stiff wire, to make a perimeter around the mattress. By tying all the springs together, what you get is, essentially, one great big spring.
Not only does this design transfer motion from one person to another, it makes for a very unyielding material.
If you end up bending a portion of that perimeter wire, your mattress will be permanently bent there.
I had a friend who tied his mattress to the roof of his car, while moving, and the wind lifted the front half of the mattress up and bent it. It was really funny looking when he laid it down, because it stuck up 3" off the boxed spring on one end.
There's brand new technology called iCoil that I've been studying into and it's far and away the most ideal design in mattress springs I've seen yet.
These iCoils are so precision-made that they can be compressed, rolled and placed into a take home box. Once you arrive home, with your real mattress in a box, you open the box and the mattress slowly returns to it's exact size and shape.
The manufacturer did this to make it possible for you to buy an extremely high quality mattress without creating a black hole in your wallet.
The latest technology is applied to every product they produce. You don't sacrifice any quality even though you are paying far less.
No other mattress springs were able to pass this test.
The pocket springs never returned to anywhere near their original size and shape. The bonnell springs performed worst of all.
In fact, remember my friend with the bent springs? Well, the bonnell spring mattress that was rolled up, did the same thing. It remained rolled permanently after being unpacked. It reminded me of a giant roll of chicken wire.
Having iCoil inside your mattress is the only question you need to ask when you're shopping. I'll bet you had already guessed that.
Do you want a graphic illustration of what I'm talking about? Check out a cool video showing a 30 ton steam roller vs. iCoil. You can see it at
