Argh, my kingdom for a coil spring Olympic Queen

Hi DAH,

I’m in western Washington State, in a little town near the Tacoma area. Zip code 98335

Subject to first confirming that any retailer or manufacturer on the list that you wish to visit is completely transparent ( see this article ) and to making sure that any mattress you are considering meets your specific criteria and the quality/value guidelines I linked earlier in this reply, the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in and around the Seattle/Tacoma area are listed in post #2 here .

There are lots of companies who build custom sizes in your area (quite often for boats), so you have a better-than-average selection. From the list I provided, for custom sizes I would start with looking at Soaring Heart (they are in a higher price range), Slumber Ease (partnership with Eastside Mattress Factory), Parkland Sleep Center, Holy Lamb Organics (has an innerspring option), and at a little longer distance perhaps Parklane Mattress. Some of the other retailers mentioned may be able to produce the Olympic Queen via a special request, but you’d have to phone or email them for that information.

I did phone a local store called “Mattress Ranch” who I’d heard will make custom mattresses - the salesman said yes indeed they would - but only in their standard sizes. He said because of fire testing laws they couldnt make something that hasnt been tested and it would cost too much to do testing for a one-off.

Per the federal flammability guidelines 16 CRFR 1633 11 (b) (1), subordinate prototypes differing only by length & width may share the same ID#, so a special “burn test” wouldn’t have to be done for the Olympic Queen size of a current mattress they have that has already passed testing. But I would be sure you find out the complete information about the quality of materials in any mattress of theirs that you might consider, should they produce a mattress for you.
