James Marshall patented the first wrapped coil spring. Because each one was made manually, the time and labor involved drove the cost so high that they could only be found on luxury ships such as the Titanic.
John Franklin Gail, Simmons' top engineer, designed a machine that would coil wire and insert it into
fabric sleeves quickly and independently. Gail's Pocketed Coil® spring Machine generated the unique
independent Pocketed Coil® springs that formed the basis of every Simmons®
mattress.

An engineer using advanced technology improved the Pocketed Coil® Machine designed by John Gail by including a function that seals the wrapped springs together rather than sewing them, as was done in earlier years.

Simmons announced the revolutionary Advanced Pocketed Coil™ spring. The Beautyrest Black® line of mattresses feature these coil springs alternating with the classic Pocketed Coil® springs. The result is a mattress that helps you sleep luxuriously undisturbed, night after night with even greater motion separation and more durability.
