For years, Consumer Reports – which recommends everything from what type of coffee you should drink to the safest cars – had made a conscious decision not to rate mattresses. The non-profit firm said its just impossible to compare mattresses because retailers each have their own brand names so the ones at Sleepy’s can’t be compared to the ones sold at Bedding Barn. However, Consumer Reports did the next best thing, asking its readers to rate their mattresses. And loyal readers came to the rescue, with 17,000 responding in October’s issue. Based on the responses Consumer Reports rated 10 mattress and 14 stores. The $2,400 Tempur-pedic came on top with a reader score of 83 while Spring Air, selling for $1,100 came in 10th place with a 66 rating. Original Mattress, selling for $890, came in second with a 52 rating. The Original Mattress Factory came in as the best retailer with a score of 88, (my favorite company, Costco came in 2nd) and at the end of the line was Sleepy’s, the nation’s largest mattress retailer.
Of course you won’t find this in The Courant because Sleepy’s is one of the largest advertisers at the oldest newspaper of continuous circulation in the nation, and we know how the new Courant management likes to protect its prime advertisers from unfavorable publicity.

First, please review our FAQ below.Frequently Asked QuestionsClick on a question below to view the response.Can you give me the retail price on any Kingsdown mattress set?
Approved Kingsdown dealers set their own retail prices and some of them have pricing online. Please check our retailer locator for a store near you.Can I sleep on the reverse side of a one-sided bed?We do not recommend it because the surface on the underside of a one-sided mattress was not designed for sleeping. Sleeping on the underside of the mattress should not cause structural damage to the mattress but you may experience body impressions.How much body impression should I expect on the surface of my mattress?Body impressions up to 1.5” are considered normal and desirable in luxury mattresses. Our mattresses are designed to conform to your body over time while still delivering correct postural support.To quote the Better Sleep Council on body impressions: “Many of today’s top-quality mattresses use extra-plush foams and fibers to create comfort layers designed to cradle your body and relieve pressure. In the first few weeks you sleep on a new mattress with extra comfort layers, you will likely notice some body impressions on the surface.
These impressions are normal. They indicate that the comfort layers are conforming to your body as they are supposed to do, and shouldn’t be considered a sign that something is wrong with your new mattress.”Please refer to your Mattress Care and Warranty booklet for any rotation instructions that may apply to your Kingsdown mattress.I have had my bed a few months and I already have body impressions. Will the body impressions get worse over time?Materials in your sleep system will settle most within the first weeks of ownership. You should expect some degree of body signature, but deeper impressions should not occur. If they do, please contact the dealer where you originally purchased your sleep system.My bed has an odor. Where does this come from?The foam that is used in the manufacturing process can produce off-gassing but this should dissipate within a week. This only occurs when the mattress comes straight through production and is sent directly to the customer. Kingsdown does not warehouse inventory, our beds are produced as they are ordered from our retail partners.
We recommend airing the mattress out for a few days. If the odor persists, please contact the retailer where you originally purchased your sleep set.How often should mattresses be replaced? How long do they last?Mattresses wear out on different timetables due to numerous factors such as how the mattress is used (guest room, master bedroom, doubled as a trampoline for the kids, etc.), whether it's cared for properly and the quality of the mattress itself. Another important consideration is how your personal comfort preferences or lifestyle and body might change over the years. We encourage you to assess your mattress after eight years and, depending on use, care, and your answers to the questions below, consider a replacement:Are you sleeping better or worse than you did a year ago?Are you waking up feeling stiff and sore?Does your mattress have visible signs of wear and tear?Would a new mattress improve your sleep?The industry standard is to replace your sleep system every 8-10 years.What is the best mattress that you manufacture?
When it comes to mattresses, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. We are all built differently and have different comfort preferences, so why would the same mattress be "best" for all of us? To determine the mattress that's best for you, we recommend using our proprietary diagnostic system, bedMATCH™. All Kingsdown mattress are crafted with care by employee-owners, and tested for quality and accurate postural support before they leave our facility.Do I need to buy a new box spring when I buy a new mattress?We highly recommend purchasing a new box spring with your new Kingsdown mattress. Our mattresses and box springs are made to work together as a cohesive unit. When a new mattress is placed on an old box spring, the old box spring does not allow the mattress to perform to its design capabilities for pressure relief and postural support.What type of warranty do you have on your product?The specific model that you purchase determines your sleep system’s warranty. You may download warranty information here.
For information on your warranty, please contact Consumer Relations at 1-800-354-5464, Monday-Friday from 8:00am - 5:00pm EST.How often should I rotate my mattress?The recommendation is once every three weeks for the first four months of ownership and then four times per year, as the seasons change. Rotating your mattress allows the cushioning and insulation materials to be evenly and properly distributed, providing maximum comfort and longevity. Not all Kingsdown sleep systems require rotation; please refer to your Mattress Care and Warranty booklet.Will my sheets fit? Where do I find sheets?It’s important to remember your Kingsdown sleep system will require sheets that fit loosely. Tight fitting sheets can create a “drum” surface on your mattress. If your sheets are too tight, this can cause a “roll to the middle” effect. If you’re in the market for new bed linens, we recommend Dream World Design. They manufacture bed linens to fit all Kingsdown sleep systems. You can contact them at 1-800-955-1322 or visit their website.
It looks a lot taller/higher than the bed I have now. Will it fit my bed?It’s always a good idea to measure where your new mattress will strike your headboard. However, all quality mattresses are thicker and plusher today to allow for pressure relief and a better night’s sleep. Studies have shown that pressure is the biggest sleep thief at night. If your mattress is cutting off proper circulation and creating pressure points, you will awaken with aches and pain from tossing and turning. Have you ever noticed that your arm was numb or that you hip was still asleep even after you awoke? That’s a good indication that your mattress isn't supporting or conforming to you properly.What can I do if the mattress is too high for my bed?The last thing you want to give up is the comfort and support of your Kingsdown mattress. There are several possible solutions to making your new Kingsdown mattress work:Use a low profile bed frame that is designed to lower your sleep system approximately 4”Consider using an extra-low profile box springTalk with your sleep professional in the store and he or she may have other solutions they can suggestDo your beds generate heat?
What can I do to control the heat?We have had some questions regarding heat. Different body chemistries react differently. Our sleep systems can generate some heat but this is due to the fact that our systems conform to your body and you tend to sleep longer in one position without adjustment, which is what you want. We suggest that you purchase a 100% cotton mattress pad or a thermally sensitive pad that will help wick away moisture. Using lighter weight bed linens is helpful as well.Should I still use my big fluffy pillows?The first thing you should consider after buying a new bed is purchasing new sleeping pillows. This is the most important accessory to your new sleep system, and the smaller the better! A queen or king size pillow, though it may look nice when the bed is made up, is too large of a pillow for most people to sleep with. A big fluffy pillow, in conjunction with your conforming sleep surface, can cause improper postural alignment. We recommend a pillow that supports your neck and head in a natural way, keeping your spine aligned.
