Best King-Size Mattress Options
How to Choose the Right Firmness Level
A restful night’s sleep can help you start the day off right. You are more eager to take on challenges at work and have enough energy to hit the gym. Even stressful experiences (like going to the dentist or meeting with your child’s teacher) seem more bearable when you aren’t tired and crabby.
Your mattress plays a key role in helping you and your partner enjoy a quality sleep experience. If your mattress is wearing out, you could struggle to fall asleep and might even wake up with pain in your joints and back. Don’t wait until sleeping becomes unbearable – replace your mattress now.
By investing in the best king-size mattress on the market, you can elevate your sleep experience. Here’s what you need to know about mattress shopping and a few top products to consider.
4 Reasons to Buy a King-Size Mattress
If you are on the fence about changing your mattress from a queen to a king – don’t hesitate to make the upgrade! There are several benefits of opting for a king-size bed for everyone in your family.
- Enjoy more space. You and your partner can spread out and enjoy all of the space you need without pushing one person to the edge.
- Limit the spread of movement. If one person can’t sleep, the other partner is less likely to be affected in a larger bed. While the best king-size mattresses have built-in technology to absorb motion, the extra space helps.
- Save room for pets and kids. Your whole family can snuggle on a king-size bed and curl up to watch movies or read together. There’s room for everyone – even your golden retriever.
- Relax in a luxurious setting. If your goal is to make your house feel like a spa getaway or historic bed and breakfast, start with your bedroom. A king-size bed can serve as the centerpiece in the room and easily match your design goals. Your guests will be impressed with your interior decorating aesthetic.
Once you upgrade to a king-size bedframe, make sure you choose the best-rated king-size mattress on the market. This will make sure your bed feels as good as it looks.
Best King-Size Mattress Options
As you take steps to upgrade your bedroom, consider the different mattress brands you can choose from. A few companies stand above the rest and are known for producing the best mattress – king-size or otherwise – on the market. Here are the top two picks from the team at Spencer’s TV & Appliance, the mattress experts.
Beautyrest Black® C-Class Innerspring Tight Top Medium King Mattress
If you are in the market for a king-size mattress, you can’t go wrong with a model by Beautyrest Black. This is Beautyrest’s luxury line of products which are designed to give you a fantastic night’s sleep.
This is an innerspring mattress that comes with an 840 coil count and 1051 coil density. This means you will enjoy extensive levels of support and comfort as you move around on the bed. There’s even a comfort upgrade layer made with a mixture of cashmere, alpaca, and silk materials. It creates the perfect combination of support and softness.
Another top feature of this mattress is the plant-based cooling system that is designed to move heat away from your body while you produce it. Do you love feeling cool when you sleep while still snuggling under extra blankets? Then this is the mattress for you.
You can see why so many people love this mattress by reading customer reviews. One person writes, “This mattress is extremely comfortable and supports every inch of my body and my partner's body. No sagging feeling whatsoever! The best sleep one could ever ask for. I highly recommend this series for everyone.”
Serta Arctic® Premier Memory Foam Firm Tight Top King Mattress
Bring the frostiness of the Arctic to your sleep experience with this mattress by Serta. This is an essential mattress for hot sleepers and people who normally kick off the covers throughout the night.
Enjoy the exclusive Reactex® System, which uses multiple layers of memory foam cooling gels to make you feel comfortable throughout the night. Each layer works to remove heat and enhance the cooling feel of your mattress and sheets. The memory foam itself is also worth relaxing on. It prevents the spread of motion, so you aren’t woken up by a partner who constantly tosses and turns.
This is a firm mattress, which means it might not be right for everyone. However, if you enjoy a lot of support while you sleep, you will enjoy the experience.
This is one of the best firm king-size mattress options on the market right now, with 95% of customers saying they would recommend their purchase to others. One reviewer writes, “My husband runs hot and I've also started running hot after having a baby; with this mattress, we stay cool. It's super comfortable and we've been getting a good night's rest with no back problems.”
Know Your Mattress Options
As you search for the best king-size mattress for your home, know that there are different material options to choose from. The three most common mattress types are:
- Innerspring: this is the traditional coil style of mattress that most people are familiar with. These mattresses range from plush to firm and come with multiple layers of motion absorption.
- Memory Foam: these mattresses use multiple layers of foam and gel to help you sleep. These models can be just as supportive as innerspring units and often come with extra cooling technology.
- Hybrid: this final option combines the best of both worlds. You can enjoy the body contouring and cooling of memory foam while appreciating the support of built-in coils. This is a great compromise for partners who are trying to agree on the best mattress type.
It’s worth your time to see how each type of mattress feels and explore the different brands on the market. A hybrid mattress by Serta or Sealy will feel different than the hybrid designs by Beautyrest.
How to Choose the Right Firmness Level
It’s hard to recommend the best king-size mattress for back pain and other specific needs because sleep preferences are so personal. Mattress firmness ranges from extra soft (ideal for sleepers under 130 pounds) to extra firm (ideal for back sleepers over 230 points). Each firmness level is meant for different weight levels and sleep styles. Your challenge is to find a level of firmness that matches your preferences and the sleep needs of your partner.
Start by reviewing your own goals when it comes to a mattress. Do you want a firmer sleep experience or does your sleep style require a more plush feel? If you aren’t sure what you need, meet with a sleep expert at Spencer’s and try out some mattresses for yourself. You might think you want a specific firmness level and material but then change your mind once you actually climb on the store model.
FAQ
What is the best king-size mattress?
Beautyrest Black is one of the top mattress lines on the market right now. However, if you are interested in a firm mattress that keeps you cool, check out the Arctic line by Serta. Both of these mattresses are highly rated for their support levels, advanced technology, and positive customer experiences.
What bedroom size do you need for a king bed?
A king bed won’t fit in every space. The minimum size for a room with a king bed is 12 feet by 9 feet. This should leave at least 30 inches of space on each side of the bed for you to move around the room comfortably. Make sure you have enough room for bedside tables and lamps when placing your king-size bed.
