Size Price Range Mattress Type Thickness Firmness Comfort Layer

Foam, memory foam, latex

Durability & Firmness

Compared to other brands of mattresses, King Koil performs a little worse in the aspect of durability because some of its cheaper products tend to break down after several years' use. Rated as soft to firm, the firmness of King Koil mattress is medium-firm on average after the break-in period based on the owner experience data.

Conforming Ability

As for the conforming ability, King Koil performs best with those mattresses made from memory foam or latex that provides a pressure-point-free sensation. Therefore, it can contour well to your body and benefit your health with a relaxing sleep.

Motion Isolation & Edge Support

In the aspect of motion isolation, King Koil performs differently depending on the model. Mattresses with independently pocket coils can absorb the movement made from one sleeper to another. Besides, it performs well for people who like to sit or sleep at the edge of the mattress because of the superior edge support. However, it may wear within a couple of years' use because King Koil is often made of foam.

Couple Friendly & Topper Usage

The King Koil mattress has less durability and comfort than the memory foam mattress. Therefore, it will be an issue for some people when it comes to the aspect of sex. King Koil performs better than the average mattress and its main competitors. It all depends on personal needs whether to add a topper on the bed or not.

Initial Odor & Sleeping Hot

People seldom complain about the problem of unpleasant odor of the King Koil mattress. One of the advantages of King Koil is that it doesn't have the issue of heat retention that makes people feel uncomfortable when they wake up in the morning.

Break-in Period

It takes about 12 days for people to get adjusted to the basic type mattress of King Koil. However, the break-in period for the mattress with at least two inches of memory foam tends to be longer.

Move & Maintain

King Koil is hard for people to handle and lift due to its heavy weight about 60-140 pounds, heavier than that of the average mattress. Designed with no flip, it will be necessary for users to rotate King Koil mattress 2-3 times a year to fight against the sagging problem.

Person Size & Sleep Position Suitability
