Dont worry, that guest blog post actually read the research results completely wrong and its the opposite. The coils were supposedly attentuating the radiation waves, which is why your right side has a lower incidence. Furthermore, any scientist will tell you a non-powered set of unenergized coils cannot amplify anything. Amplification requires power. Bedsprings are not powered.

Snopes has a solid write up on how badly that author fucked it up. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coil-mattresses-cause-canc...

You might wonder how a magnifying glass can ignite paper, why a satellite dish on the side of a house is a dish, how a solar cooker works, why a radio telescope works, or how a roof can turn trickles of rain water into a powerful stream coming out of a drain, all of them unpowered, all of them not needing powered amplifying to have an effect.

You’re confusing concentration with amplification, and you’re not explaining how you think bed springs could cause concentration despite having no similarity in form or action to your examples.
