Kingsdown Ultimate Pillow Top

Pros: well-designed and well-constructed
Cons: added expense of new bedding, poor workmanship, "pillow" too soft

To tell the truth, we're of two minds about our Kingsdown mattress around my house - it's one of those "He said - she said" situations. So we decided to get a neutral third party to interview us about the mattress, and who's better qualified than the ...

Pros: firm support
Cons: enormous, pillow top too soft

Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go. . . or in this case, my mother and father's house, to celebrate Christmas, feast on dozens of delectable little cookies, stuff ourselves silly with roast beast, and trade sibling...

Pros: Most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.
Cons: Heavy

The problem:
My husband and I were having problems in bed. You know, it happens to every couple at one time or another. People don't like to talk about this kind of thing, but I decided if I could help one other couple I would bare my soul and...

Pros: Comfortable for the first month or so.
Cons: Significant sagging within 6 months. Lied to by SLEEPYS (NY based distributor). Bad experience overall.

The DORMO DIAGNOSTICS is the high end version of this bed, selected after a sleep test on a pressure sensing cot device (now called BODYDIAGNOSTIC) at SLEEPYS, the large New York based distributor here. We specified that we did not want a mattress that ...

Pros: very soft cloudlike pillow-top with firmness beneath, old sheets fit fine, 20 year warantee
Cons: weirdly saggy after very brief time, 20 yr warantee basically meaningless and insanely restrictive

After having slept on a very low-end discount mattress for over 10 years, I realized it was time to move on. After doing some research, it was clear to me that the mattress industry is the biggest racket imaginable, and it would be impossible to ...

Pros: Incredibly soft
Cons: Expensive, formed a U shape after two years of ownership

UPDATE After owning this mattress for five years we are ready to throw it out a window, it has deformed with huge crevice in the center of the mattress. We faithfully flipped this monstrously heavy mattress every couple of months, it is just a ...

Pros: Very soft and comfortable, good support
Cons: may be too soft for some, pillow top can be very warm

It is prudent to mention that the the same mattress is often called by different names from retailer to retailer. They do this at the request of the retailers so it is hard to comparison shop. That's why you'll swear you saw the same bed a retailer #1,...

Pros: There are none
Cons: Expensive, Heavy, un-supportive, and sheets don't fit.

Update - October 5, 2001. We went back to Mattress Giant and asked that the mattress be replaced. They did replace it. After 30 days the second mattress started to sag in both sleeping positions. For the $3,000+ that we paid - we are terribly...

Pros: Presents well and comfortable in store
Cons: Terrible quality and workmanship. Will not last more than a few months.

My nightmare started in January 2004. I was pushed in to buying a Kingsdown Pillowtop mattress. The salesmen at Sleepys make you feel like there is something wrong with you when you tell them you never heard of Kingsdown. Ther must be a terrific ...

Pros: Mattress feels great at first
Cons: Wears out fast, impossible to flip, becomes very uncomfortable very soon

I have had this matress for 5 years and have been complaining about it for the last 3. My wife and I are not very big people, combined we weigh less than 300 pounds. Despite wrestling with this heavy mattress to flip it every month, it has permanent ...

Pros: Comfortable for the first few months
Cons: The bed has sagged massively and is hard as a rock!

My husband and I shopped far and wide looking for a pocket coil mattress to replace our regular sprung mattress... his tossing and turning was bouncing me all over the place in the night. We settled on a Kingsdown because it was the most comfortable and ...

Pros: Finally relief from severe back pain. Has held up like new for 2 1/2years.
Cons: Its a bit expensive and that is the only thing I can find wrong.

I am writing this review because my wife and I have been on the hunt for the perfect mattress. We have been married for over 27 years and have purchased over nine sets of bedding. Yes, you heard me correctly. I would be doing a disservice to not ...

Pros: none
Cons: sags right away. Caused and made my back pain and disc herniation worse.

Long Story short. We bought a kingsdown pillow top mattress at sleppys after laying on the sleep system bed to see which mattress was best for us. It was the worst decision and the salesman Lied to us. He said there was no need to flip the matress ...

Pros: Heavenly. The pillow top is soft and yeilding. I like having such a high bed.
Cons: Sheets are hard to find. Flipping can be a pain.

From reading past reviews, I can see that with this mattress, you either love it or you hate it. I happen to love mine. I have a bad back, and for years I bought into the old theory that you needed to sleep on something that felt like a pool table if ...

Pros: MMmmm...comfy, well-made, life-time warranty
Cons: Regular sheets don't fit without straps.

My wife and I went shopping for a king size mattress for our new house when we cam across this beauty. I am incredibly picky when I comes to mattresses. I like support, but I also like my mattress a little plush. So, we decided we were definitely...
