The coil gauge sounds like it is average and depending on being tempered or not should give you good support.
Mattress coil density.
However mattresses with coil counts much greater than the minimum level of coils may not actually offer a substantially higher level of comfort or support.
With metal coil mattresses the springs compress as you move to provide firm support while memory foam mattresses are constructed with both comfort layers and high density support layers which seek to mimic the spinal alignment and stability of their counterpart.
As a rule of thumb the minimum number of coils you should look for in a mattress is 300 for a full 375 for a queen and 450 for a king size mattress.
Barrel coils are more responsive than hourglass coils and provide a springier sleep surface.

Coil density is relative to the other beds from that manufacturer.

A good density for a mattress support core is at least 2 pounds to provide ideal support and remain durable for the life of the mattress but those with back pain may require an even greater level of density.
