Verticoil vs. other offet coil systems

Hi ResearchOverkill,

The person at OMF said they use polyfoam with a density of 1.8 in both the Ortho and Regency mattresses. So, if the quality of the comfort layers are equal, just different amounts, is there a big advantage to going with one over the other as far as quality? And how do you feel about 1.8 foam? I thought I’d feel more comfortable with the firmer innerspring, but after laying on both for a while, I’m re-thinking that. I’m just afraid the LFK coils won’t last as long and might sag due to the thinner gauge coils.

Any thoughts on these two innerspring systems? I saw you call the Verticoil more of an entry/mid level coil system.

I would make sure that you know the exact foam layers that are used in each mattress and I would want more than just a “general” description of the foam density.

1.8 lb polyfoam would be a durable material in a two sided mattress (see the guidelines here) but I would also be aware that convoluted polyfoam isn’t as durable as a solid foam layer.

The 12.5 gauge knotted offset coil would be a stronger coil system than the Verticoil but neither coil system is likely to be the weakest link in either mattress (this would be in the foam layers) so once you know the specifics of the foam layers in each mattress if they are closely comparable I would choose the mattress that was the best match for you in terms of PPP…
