Texas Pocket Springs - 8" Quad Coils

You don’t need 18 layers on top of your pocket coil unit. Keep it simple and let the coils work in the way they were designed to. The more layers you add, the more you take away from the isolated support. We tested and liked the following build 8” / 15.5 gauge / 3” QuadMini / 2” latex / a cover with stretch. We've heard from some customers that they like up to 3" of latex/foam on top of the QuadMini, but anything more than that and you're probably wasting your money.

Nope! Putting a layer of foam or latex between the coils will change the coil performance. We don't recommend it. That said... it's DIY, so You do You!

Due to the coil density and the QuadCoil design, our units run on the firmer side. Assuming you are average weight and a back or side sleeper, we suggest 15.5 gauge. It also works well for lighter stomach sleepers. Our 15.5g is very resilient and you will not bottom out.

If you're an over 180lbs stomach sleeper or over 230lbs back/side sleeper, we also sell a more firm 14.75 gauge coil spring. Please reach out via our contact form and we'll get that ordered for you.

There are a few reasons why we think it's better to get 2 Twin XLs when you're building a King mattress:

• Less motion transfer between partners.
• You'll have the option of making one side more firm than the other side.
• It's cheaper to ship 2 Twin XLs than it is to ship a King, so you'll save money.
• As a DIY assembler, you'll appreciate not trying to wrangle a King sized set of coils.

Once the comfort layers are in place and the mattress cover is zipped up, the two twins will be held securely in place and you'd never know it wasn't all one piece.

There are NO returns. We stand behind our product 100%. If it arrives damaged, we will replace it or send you the material to guarantee your complete satisfaction. Unfortunately we do not refund or replace units after they have been used. There is too much variability in how someone constructs their DIY build.

We compress and roll our units for shipping. We do not compress, fold and roll. We realize there are companies who sell single units and do this, but we believe folding a single pocket coil unit will damage the coil and compromise the integrity of the coil. The fold and roll machines were made for finished mattresses, not individual pocket coil units.

Selling individual units is a new venture, so if you are completely satisfied and we have exceeded your expectations, please spread the word.

Yes. People often order an 8" unit and a 3" QuadMini Comfort layer. If you order more than one item, we will discount the entire order by 5%.

Unfortunately we do not, unless the customer can provide their own shipping label (FedEx, DHL, UPS). We will provide all the shipping dimensions needed. We will not be responsible for the unit once it leaves our facility.

Please feel free to reach out, and we can talk about your build, or any other questions you may have.

Yes, we are the ONLY official single unit store for Texas Pocket Springs units.

Most people will find our coils last 15+ years. If you find that you're the type that wears out normal mattresses quickly, they should still last you 10+ years. These coils will outlast your other layers 2-3x.

And no, you never need to flip the coils. When a coil compresses, it both sides of the spring experience the same amount of tension. Flipping mattresses has more to do with extending the life of the foam/latex comfort layers, not the springs.
