King Size Mattress Reviews

A king-sized mattress is one of the largest sizes available on the market. It measures 76 by 80 inches, so in terms of surface area it is on par with the California king size (72 by 84 inches). As such, it is great for those who covet their personal space even in sleep, or for couples who like some leg room when sleeping together. You can even make space for children and pets to snuggle in between you and your partner, no problem. It’s that spacious.

King size mattresses are available for almost every type of mattress in existence – even camping beds! However due to its bigger size it tends to be more expensive than its smaller counterparts. Its dimensions must be carefully considered too because some foundations will not be a perfect fit for it. A split might be necessary to bring this heavy mattress into your abode.

Regardless of the cons, a king size mattress is still a viable option if you are willing to fork out a bit more for the extra space. This article will focus on three different types of king size mattresses for you to make comparisons.

Best Three King Size Mattresses

1. Smart Air Beds Raised Comfort Coil Beam Flocked Top King Size Inflatable Mattress

Get your airbed ready in minutes

Don’t let the long and somewhat confusing name deter you from finding out more about this product. (To clarify matters some, Smart Air Beds is the brand of this air bed.) Air beds were all the rage a few years ago, and while the popularity has dwindled a bit, it is still a possible – and indeed quite unique – option to consider. They inflate with help from a pump. This one inflates a whopping 20 inches off the ground. Once deflated it is easily to keep and doesn’t take up much space, making it great for travelling or a stand-by should any sudden guests arrive at your home. The seams are electronically welded for higher quality. The air bed also peruses a coil beam construction which mimics the feel of a traditional mattress in terms of support and stability.

Pros:

• Competitive Pricing: Its price is lower in comparison to other higher-end mattresses.

• Weight Capacity: The air bed can take up to 600 lbs – not a small amount by any means.

• Fast Inflation: With the AC pump included with the bed, it inflates quite fast.

Cons:

• Noisy Pump: The noise it produces when inflating the air bed is negligible during the day when people are up and about, but at night it might disrupt someone’s sleep.

2. TexTrade Full Inner Spring Pillow Top Mattress in a Box

A mattress that mattress promotes air flow for a cooler sleeping environment.

This mattress by TexTrade is the more traditional inner spring mattress. It is a mattress in a box, and a matching bed frame in a box is offered should you want to avoid the hassle of matching your bed frame with your mattress, or vice versa – but if you want to choose your own bed frame, any platform bed frame will do. Part of its 11-inch thickness comes from 2-1/2 inches pillow top of layered Denier foam for heavenly softness. 1000 15-gauge pocketed tempered steel coils hide beneath that layer to minimise the impact of body movement while supporting your body. A border wire laces the perimeter of the mattress to firm up the mattress along the edges. The Damask quilted fabric that covers the mattress promotes air flow for a cooler sleeping environment. Best of all, it features a no-flip design, so you need not break your back trying to turn this heavy mattress over once in a while.

Pros:

• Nifty Packaging: The mattress is compressed and vacuum-sealed into a box fitted with a handle and a pair of back wheels – so no lugging a lump of weight into your home!

• Expands Quickly: It regains its shape after being unpackaged fairly quickly.

• Soft Goodness: The mattress is very soft, so if you like soft mattresses, this is for you.

Cons:

• Foam Condenses: The foam has a tendency to condense after being lied in; just shake the edges of the mattress and you’re good to go.

3. Luxury Grand King 14-Inch Memory Foam Mattress

Comes with a 20 year warranty

If you are willing to spend more for a good night’s sleep, then the Luxury Grand King 14-inch memory foam mattress is an option. It promises extra comfort and responsiveness as the memory foam in it responds to your body heat and contours accordingly. At the same time, dual airflow helps keep temperature down when you sleep on the mattress so you will not wake up uncomfortably warm. This mattress is 14 inches full of seven layers of foam: three polyurethane foam and four visco-elastic memory foam layers that are positioned in such a way that makes the mattress durable yet richly plush. Its cover is also a masterpiece with a luxurious satin-like side fabric with gold highlights on top and elegant gold braids skirting its perimeter. For ease of removal, its cover has a four-way zipper.

Pros:

• 20-Year Warranty Plus 120-Day Trial: If you’re worried this mattress might not serve your purposes well enough, you can return it after the trial period; if not, the 20-year warranty stands as a sturdy insurance.

• Firm Lower Layers, Pliable Top: The top layer gives way to your body’s contours easily, while the lower layers provide ample support.

• Pain Relief: Aches and pains, begone!

Cons:

• Difficult and Pricey to Return: This mattress is gargantuan and isn’t exactly light either, so returning it either out of dissatisfaction or to claim warranty will cost you both time and money (yes, you’ll have to pay for the shipment yourself).

Before You Buy:

A king size mattress is good and all, but sometimes there are some factors that bear mulling over before you venture out to buy one. Luxury has its limits – or at least, this one does. Some of those include:

• Space: You might want to roll around in bliss on your mattress, but do you have the space for such a huge one?

• Budget: The more you want, the more you have to pay is the general consensus, though with careful research you can snag a sweet mattress for a fraction of the price of a truly specialised mattress (Tempur-Pedic, for instance).

• Need: Need is different from want. You may want a huge king size mattress, but if you do not move around much when you’re asleep and/or are seldom around during the day to enjoy rolling around on it, you don’t need it.
