Popular Kingsdown Mattresses

Kingsdown offers mattresses ranging from mid-level to high-end options. In Canada, Kingsdown sells its mattresses only through third-party retailers like Sleep Country, Costco, and Leon’s, 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 Leon’s 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, some Kingsdown mattress prices may be outside the reach of many Canadian shoppers.
