King Koil Mattress Ratings

The report below is based on 60+ King Koil innerspring mattress owner experiences for various models such as Spine Support and Posture Sense. Learn more about our mattress research methodology and sources.

Owner satisfaction	d	King Koil innerspring mattresses have 61% owner satisfaction. (61 out of 100 based on 63 reviews). This rate is about average compared to other innerspring mattress brands but below the average of all mattresses overall.
Durability / longevity	d	As is the case with innerspring mattresses overall, King Koil's durability / longevity is lacking especially when compared to non-innerspring beds, such as memory foam, air and latex. Our collected owner experience data suggests that King Koil beds will sag and lose support with regular use within 3-4 years for at least 25% of owners.
Affordable	c+	The price range is $250-$2,500 for a queen. About 30% of consumers do not regard the bed to be a value because of durability / longevity problems.
Less pain	c	See mattresses and pain relief for general analysis.
Motion isolation	c+	There are a fair number of complaints by owners on this issue and performance may vary by King Koil model. A mattress has motion isolation if it absorbs movement from one sleeper so that the other sleeper is not disturbed much by the movement.
No initial odor / off gassing	b-	As is the case with most innerspring bed brands, initial smell from most King Koil models is not a significant problem.
No sleeping hot	b-	The bed tends to perform well in regard to releasing heat so that it does not build up resulting in an uncomfortably warm sleep surface.
Good for sex	c+	Mattress sagging can be detrimental in regard to this issue. (See mattresses and sex for analysis).
No noise	c	Some consumers complain that their mattress makes noise when in use, such as squeaking.
No rotating / flipping	c-	The design is no-flip, but at least 10% of owners report having to regularly rotate their mattress to combat sagging and body impression development.
Availability	C-	There are many King Koil retailers on the East Coast, fewer in the Midwest, and few on the West Coast.
Warranty	c	The product has a 5-20-year warranty depending on the model. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.)
Customer service	c	The helpfulness and politeness of customer service has been questioned by at least 10% of owners included in our research.
Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating	a+	King Koil (Comfort Solutions) has an "A+" rating.
