Kingsdown Body System Mattress Review Summary

According our reviewers, the Kingsdown Body Systems Mattress is one of the best mattresses on the site. What is it that made one reviewer exclaim “God I love my bed!”? Well, ten inches of foam that gives you a feeling like you’re sinking into the mattress itself is one plus. Also, Viewpoints members report that there is little to not pressure point pain from sleeping in this Kingsdown Mattress. Even Viewpoints members who have had back surgery remark about how great the Kingsdown Body System Mattress feels. Viewpoints reviewers also loved the fact that Kingsdown Mattresses don’t have the popular household name that other mattresses do, and are cheaper as a result. Negatives? The our reviewers noted that the Kingsdown is very heavy, and can’t be moved from place to place by just one person. Some have also complained that due to it’s size, the Kingsdown Body System Mattress is hard to make. Of course, if you’re one of those people who never makes their bed, that won’t matter.

To the Point

Our daughter and son-in-law had a queen sized Kingsdown Body System Bed in their apartment in New York City. I tried it for the required 15 minutes since we are in the market for a mattress. Fifteen minutes just isn't enough. They moved to a condo and put the queen in the guest room and bought...

They test you on a computerized machine to see which mattress you need.  We fell for the gimmick.  It is true that you don't have any pressure point pain.  However, we both have back issues and this bed seems to exacerbate them.  You roll into each other all night long and I guess that puts extra...

I couldn't believe how soft both the mattress and the quilted top were on this bed. I would love to sleep on it without a sheet or mattress cover. However, this bed is not for people who like firm mattresses. It surrounds you like a feather bed, you literally sink into it. The boxspring, which comes in regular or thin sizes is really fantastic. It has more give in it so it really allows the bed to conform to your body. There are very few pressure points, if any at all. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of places that sell this mattress, so you will be unable to comparison shop. Our decision was... review »

My wife and I bought our King size Kingsdown almost two years ago.  The first year was wonderful, very comfortable.  About 18 months after purchase, body impressions began to form along with a 'hump' in the middle.  The 'hump' is the only comfort spot left.  I feel horrible in the morning, my back hurts and hips ache.  Kingsdown claim is they guarantee their product BUT they have a very very stringent policy, to the point of ridiculous.  If any of the warranty bullets are compromised, the warranty is void.  For example, if you move, make sure you do not get on speck of dirt/stain on it...warranty...

I purchased a Kingsdown King size mattress on the advice of the salesman at Mattress Giant because he told me that their mattresses conform to your body and would support without being too firm like some mattresses.  He told me it was one of the best mattresses on the market.  Well, he was right.  Since my purchase, I have gotten the best nights sleep in a long time.  Both my husband and I have back problems.  This mattress has helped tremendously.  It was quite expensive but it is well worth the price for a good nights sleep. The downside is that it is heavy to move when making the bed. ... review »

my husband and i purchased a kingsdown elegant pillow top mattress & box springs with our wedding money in july.  it is the best purchase either of us have ever made!!  every night when we get into bed we say "aaaahh, the kingsdown!!"  when shopping at mattress giant the salesman did not try to push us to buy this mattress, we sat on it and fell in love.  it was quite pricey for the king size, but due to the horrible economy and slow sales he knocked $1000 off the price of the bed, making it much more affordable.  not to mention we got the bed frame and a really nice mattress pad thrown in... review »

Love my Sleep to live mattress by kingsdown.

I did profile green on there pressure test, but instead I went with the blue for more support. i am glad i did because I wanted a firm mattress and the blue feel just right for me and my spouse.

Kingsdown is the most overpriced, overhyped mattress I have ever seen. $4000 for a "perfect" fit. Sleep is important and it's important to take time choosing a mattress, but stay away from this brand. You can get just as much comfort by taking your time and choosing well. The cover they use is very soft and comfy, but don't let that fool you. once you put a mattress pad and sheets on it, you can't even feel the cover. If I won the lottery, I wouldn't waste my money on this one.

my husband and i went to mattress giant looking for a new mattress to help with our aches and pains. the kingsdown came highly recommended, even the sales woman (also the store manager) had one herself and loved it! we bought it. and it was very comfy. 1 month later we noticed the sagging. i went back to the store and the sales woman who had sold us the mattress insisted this was normal and to just rotate the mattress. so we did...now it sags in more than 2 areas. too late to exchange the mattress i get sent a "special kit"  to measure and photograph the areas on the mattress-1 1/2 inches, almost...

I bought my Kingsdown body system at sleepys about 1 yrs ago and beyond love it!  I feel like I am sleeping in a cloud of comfort and can't wait to get into it everynight!  I have bad arthritis and horrible pain at night, since I bought my Kingsdown I have less pain in the morning.  I can finally get comfortable at night and stay asleep.   I am glad I went to sleepys for this, I shopped other places, and they did not have a clue what to show me and when I went there, they used a computer they helped pick out the proper one.  I would allow technology to help pick my mattress over my own choice... review »

I replaced my Beauty Rest mattress and bought this mattress last September after a salesman at Mattress Giant had convinced me that it was worth the money and a much better mattress than a Beauty Rest.  I bought it hook, line, and sinker!  I don't recommend this mattress to anyone!  It is very warm to sleep on, it needed to rotated after just a couple of weeks b/c I don't move when I sleep and it became very uncomfortable (and I am an average size woman and it is heavy to rotate), and it's very hard to find sheets to fit it!  I wish I would have bought the Beauty Rest instead of spending... review »

If you are looking for a well built mattress that will last for years, don't buy a Kingsdown. My husband and I purchased a Kingsdown ($2,500) that has a 10-yr warranty. For the first year and a half we slept wonderfully well. But then it started breaking down/sagging down the center. Kingsdown sent us a kit with a claim form, a long string with a washer tied to each end, a depression chart, and a disposable camera. We took pictures which showed the sagging to be one-inch. Please note, a cardboard chart does not sleep on a Kingsdown mattress at night, a 190-lb man and 130-lb woman do. Kingsdown...

I always thought someone with back problems should sleep on a firm mattress.  I used to wake up with pain in my back all the time.  When I was looking for a new mattress I checked out the Kingsdown and noticed how soft it was.  I was hesitant at first to purchase something so soft. This mattress is like sleeping on a cloud.  Very comfortable.  I can go to sleep at night and wake up in the same position when I wake up.  The only bad thing is that this mattress is very heavy so you can't move it by yourself

2 yrs. ago my husband & I purchased a Kingsdown Platinum model king bed at Sleep America. Within the first month we noticed excessive sagging and body impressions on each side. Also there was a large bump in the middle so it felt like we were sleeping in canyons. The store told us the bed was "learning our bodies". Well, the bed should get a PhD in our bodies because it has continued to sag. We fight to see who can sleep on the hump in the middle because that is the only comfortable place on the bed.
Sleep America has no representitive to inspect the bed to see if it qualifies for a return....
