If you’ve ever researched the world of mattresses, you’ve come across the term “individually-wrapped coils,” Marshall springs, or something similar. It’s a technical term that speaks to the interior of many mattresses on the market—and we invented mass-produced mattresses using this technology. But, what really does it mean? And why has everyone adopted it?

Historically Speaking…

The year is 1925, and mattresses are designed for longevity, and not much else. They aren’t built for comfort or support. They are made to accommodate only a single person. They rely on a system of coils linked together without any padding or material in-between them. This is where we begin our story—with an opportunity.

Enter Beautyrest® and the idea of mass producing a new type of mattress spring assembly. These mattress spring assemblies were branded as Pocketed Coil® Technology to provide elevated comfort in Beautyrest mattresses. It took each spring and individually wrapped it in a material designed to compress the motion and offer added support.

Beautyrest launched this innovation, and it took the mattress industry by storm. Other companies scrambled to keep up, but as the innovator, we are the one and only Pocketed Coil® Technology.

Our Support Systems

At the heart of Pocketed Coil® Technology is the engineering. We’ve continued to evolve it to provide individualized support + motion separation in all of our hybrid and innerspring mattress collections:

• BeautySleep® by Beautyrest® features 815 Density Original Beautyrest® Pocketed Coil® Technology for consistent, comfortable sleep at an affordable price.
• Beautyrest® features our signature individualized support + motion separation with 875 Density Pocketed Coil® Technology.
• Beautyrest® World Class® features our premier individualized support + motion separation with 1000 Density Pocketed Coil® Technology.
• Beautyrest Black® features our most advanced, individualized support + motion separation with 1630 Density Triple-Stranded Pocketed Coil® Technology, which is triple the steel vs a regular coil.

With these four offerings, we’ve also developed coil systems to help build the feels for each mattress. For example, we have both Firm and Plush coil systems in each collection and use them in respective Firm, Medium, or Plush mattresses in addition to foams.

What Compression Brings to the Table

After the configurations of each coil, we moved onto the outside layer of fabric encasing each coil. The fabric is tight to the coil, creating an initial compression that takes care of that squeaky bounce-back you can get from other innerspring mattresses.

This compression strategy captures the motion of each sleeper to reduce disturbances throughout the night, especially with more than one sleeper. Hence, you’ll always get your beauty sleep, no matter how your partner sleeps.

What That Means For You

The key benefits of Pocketed Coil® Technology are individualized support + motion separation. They contribute to a unique system that encompasses everything you need from a mattress: advanced support, premium pressure-relief, and extra comfort.

If you’re in the market for a new mattress, look for Beautyrest® Pocketed Coil® Technology. Because people at their best get their Beautyrest.
