A while back one of the posters, Eagle maybe(?), mentioned a mattress company that handmakes a quality innerspring mattress at a very reasonable cost. I've tried the search here, but so many results come back. Anyone know the name of the company (or companies) that make quality innerspring mattresses?

You might check for local mattress manufacturers.  In Oklahoma City there are still several.  They make "old fashioned" mattresses at very reasonable prices.  Three firmnesses are available - all are fairly firm.  Mattresses contain bonnell springs with cotton (no foam) covered by cotton ticking with hand tufting and are sold with real box spring units.  These last a very long time and do not sag.  These independent mattress companies also make and sell latex beds, and latex and memory foam toppers and pillows.

agree. lots of local mattress makers. just check your yellow pages. gardner would not be my first choice, as their full size mattress only has 250 coils. I would want around 400, and preferably the holland maid brand. ask your local mattress company if they are willing to order that for you. it is like 90 dollars for the coil system if it can be shipped rolled up. the mattress maker can assemble the edge rails as they put it together.

It would actually depend on your location. There are mattresses available at Amazon and you'll get wide array of them there if you wanted it online. Or you can have them purchased here.

Definitely go local.  I go to Better Bed in Fresno.  I have developed a rapport with Bill(owner) as well as the actual guys who make the beds, LOL!  Not that I've been there a lot or anything...
