Kingsdown is a long-established brand in the mattress industry. Founded in 1904 as the Mebane Bedding Company, it changed its name to Kingsdown in the 1970s. Though it describes itself as one of the largest independent mattress manufacturers in the world, Kingsdown is only available in Canada through third-party retailers.
When deciding whether to buy a new mattress from Kingsdown, there’s a lot to consider. Our Kingsdown mattress reviews will give you the information you need so you can decide whether this company is the right choice for your next mattress purchase.
Kingsdown offers mattresses ranging from mid-level to high-end options. In Canada, Kingsdown sells its mattresses mostly through third-party retailers like Sleep Country, Costco, and The Brick, which means that you’ll have to order through a third-party retailer’s website or visit the store in person.
It also means that there’s no consistent sleep trial or return policy for any Kingsdown mattress you buy. You’ll have to examine the sleep trial and return policy for the specific retailer instead. Some, like The Brick and Sleep Country, have exchange-only return policies—you can trade your mattress in for a different model, but you won’t receive a refund.
Most mattress companies will offer a fixed 10-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Instead, Kingsdown has different warranties for different mattresses, indicated by a code printed on the law label. Warranty terms can be as long as 20 years, or as short as just 1 year. If you’re thinking about buying a Kingsdown mattress, you should research its warranty code to determine how long the coverage period is.
Kingsdown mattresses are known for their luxury appeal. However, even their mid-range models often cost over $2,000 CAD, with high-end options reaching $6,000 CAD or more. Compared to mattress companies like Logan & Cove, which sell directly to the consumer and at a lower price, Kingsdown mattresses can be outside the reach of many Canadian shoppers.
Kingsdown Passions Beckingham is a hybrid mattress from Costco priced at $1,249 for a queen size. It features cooling gel fibres woven into its cover, and multiple mineral infusions to give it anti-microbial properties.
This mattress has excellent edge support, good motion isolation, a few cooling features, and zoned support in its coil layer. It’s rather firm for a hybrid, though, and doesn’t have a sleep trial.

Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven is one of the company’s medium-firm hybrid mattresses, available from Sleep Country at $2,899 for a queen size. Its cover composition includes moisture-wicking silk fibres.
Silent Partner Fairhaven has good edge support, average motion isolation, and a few cooling technologies. However, it doesn’t have the special features we would expect to see for its price.

Kingsdown Studio Acton is an innerspring mattress from Sleep Country priced at $1,399 for a queen size.
This mattress has excellent edge support and one of the highest bounce ratings ever recorded in third-party engineer testing. Despite being marketed as firm, thin layers of foam, polyester, and wool-blended batting allow noticeable sinkage, resulting in a medium-firm firmness score.

Kingsdown mattresses are made by Kingsdown, a mattress company formerly known as the Mebane Bedding Company. Kingsdown makes a variety of mid-level to high-end foam, innerspring, and hybrid mattresses. In Canada, Kingsdown mattresses can’t be bought directly from the manufacturer. They must be purchased through third-party retailers like Sleep Country, Costco, or The Brick.
Kingsdown mattresses tend to perform well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us). However,they’re often more expensive than similar mattresses from other brands, especially compared to the features they offer—even when they’re on sale. We think you should take a look at Logan & Cove instead.
With 4,500+ five-star customer reviews, a BBB Rating of “A+”, and a Trustpilot Rating of “Excellent”, Logan & Cove has a proven track record of customer satisfaction.
Logan & Cove’s mattresses come with advanced cooling features and zoned support for a cooling and comfortable night’s sleep. They’re also much more affordable than Kingsdown mattresses—Logan & Cove Choice is available at only $999 for a queen size.
The price for a Kingsdown mattress varies depending on the model. However, the company’s mid-range offerings often cost $2,000 CAD or more, and its most expensive mattresses can cost over $6,000 CAD. This puts many of the company’s mattresses outside the reach of many Canadians. (In comparison, brands like Logan & Cove start at just $799.)
Kingsdown mattresses are sold in Canada through third-party retailers such as Sleep Country, Costco, and The Brick.
No, Kingsdown mattresses sold in Canada do not have fiberglass. Fiberglass is a common fire safety feature in mattresses made outside of Canada, especially less expensive ones. It can be significant health hazard if fiberglass particles get outside of a mattress.

Kingsdown has a manufacturing facility in North Carolina, USA. The company also has operations across Canada, Europe, and Asia.
Kingsdown mattresses are manufactured by Kingsdown, a subsidiary of Owen & Company. Owen & Company is itself owned by private equity group Novacap.
Kingsdown mattresses have different warranties according to the warranty code on their law labels. Depending on the mattress you buy and the warranty code it has, you can get 1 to 20 years of manufacturer coverage, and 1 to 10 years of no-charge repair or replacement.
That said, customer reviews have complained that Kingsdown mattresses can sag relatively soon after purchase. This is important to keep in mind if you’re hoping to avoid making warranty claims after your mattress purchase.
We think you should consider Logan & Cove. The company’s entry-level model, Logan & Cove Choice, features a cooling nanofibre cover, ecoLuxe® cooling gel foam, sturdy edge support foam, and a three-zone coil support system—all at just $999 for a queen size. You’ll also get a much longer 365-night sleep trial, a generous 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle with your purchase.
If you want even more comfort and added layers of contouring micro-coils, you can upgrade to the Euro-top Logan & Cove Frontier or Logan & Cove Pinnacle.
