Kingsdown Select Mattress Review

The Kingsdown Select mattress line features several models, including the Chardonnay, Malbec, and Meritage.

Features high coil counts and generally strong durability. Good edge support and motion transfer. Built decently well, with good materials.

Exclusively sold at Mattress Firm, which makes it an impossible mattress for us to recommend. Buying in a store is almost always a nightmare. Mattress Firm is no different. Poor policies (i.e. paying a fee to return, etc) and generally deceptive pricing and tactics. Warranty is underwhelming too.

Saatva Classic is our #1 alternative. They make a luxury, ultra-comfortable, innerspring hybrid built to last. Dedicated 24/7 customer service (best in the industry) + generous policies.

User 1: "Received a defective mattress and we can not get kingsdown to honor their warranty. Stuck with a $3,500 mattress that sags more than our 10 year old mattress that we replaced."

User 2: "I can barely sleep at night on this mattress. I think the top just sucks in the heat and keeps it there. Very disappointed."

The kingsdown select mattress is a firm (roughly a 7-8 on a 1-10 firmness scale).

A firmer model like this is built for back and stomach sleepers that likely have back or spine issues and need correct spinal and cervical alignment (which is critical for long-term health).

Stay away if you sleep on your side. You won't get the contoured support your pressure points need if you're laying on a flat and even surface with very little 'give'.

The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and even sleep surface to maintain a firmer feel.

The kingsdown select mattress is inadequate for side sleeping.

Make sure to choose their plushest offering. If you're not sure which model it is, chat or call with them.

Expect acceptable support for delicate pain points (specifically your low back, neck, shoulders, hips). Top foams relieves tension and pressure throughout the body sufficient.

NOTE: If you sleep on your side, make sure you support your shoulders, hips, and torso equally. Otherwise, you'll suffer long-term nerve and pain problems.

The kingsdown select mattress is fantastic for back and stomach sleeping.

Ensure to select their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) option. If you're not sure which model it is, reach out to them.

Bank on reasonable support for spine and cervical positioning (specifically your lower back). Relatively firm foams on the top layer keep your back straight extremely well.

NOTE: Focus on finding a mattress that won't sink too far into your hips when sleeping on your back & stomach. It'll throw your spine out of alignment.

The kingsdown select mattress has several layers worth exploring:

• Bottom Layer: pocketed coils for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: dunlop latex for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: pillow-top and euro-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: rayon-based fabric which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: unknown weight (queen size).

The kingsdown select mattress height is 14.5-17.5".

• Decent edge support because of its innerspring style.
• Saatva Classic is an extraordinary alternative if you want fabulous edge support.

Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down FAST.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

Expect imperfect motion transfer as a result of the innerspring style and latex top layer.

You or your partner could perhaps sense a lot of motion transfer, and in all probability will awake you (unless you're a light sleeper).

NOTE: Motion transfer is a measurement of how much shifts from one side of the bed to the other. Consider prioritizing a mattress with effective motion isolation if your partner tosses and turns during the night.

Motion isolation results in better sleep.

There are several noteworthy considerations with the Kingsdown return policy:

• there is no return policy information available.

• only toppers and cores can be exchanged for firmness and the shipping charges are the only charges involved. The exchange must be completed within 60 days.

Find a brand with an exchange policy that doesn't force you to pay high fees for making an honest mistake.

• has a 10-year limited warranty.

Look for warranties that have at least a 15-year period with no unreasonable limitations or transporation fees.

The price of the kingsdown select mattress queen size is $3600.

There are 3 fantastic alternatives to the Kingsdown Select Mattress worth considering:

1. Saatva Classic (luxury pocketed coil hybrid): Durable innerspring hybrid that's extremely comfortable and built to last. Compares to top hotel mattresses in the world when it comes to comfort and overall feel. Ideal if you like little bounce but want support and fantastic value.

2. Loom and Leaf (high-density memory foam): Incredible mattress because it has zero motion transfer and excellent pressure relief while still half the price of Tempurpedic.

3. Zenhaven (100% organic and natural talalay latex): Best mattress money can buy. You should check out this mattress if you need a bed that has some bounce, but still fully envelops and supports your pressure points.
