The Alaskan King Bed Company makes giant hand-built mattresses up to 13 ft wide, for families who share a bed with kids and pets. The Original is a firm 11-inch eco-foam and cotton mattress that starts near $2,950 on sale. It's best if you need an oversized custom size. But mattresses are final sale, with no returns or exchanges once delivered. You should be certain about the size and feel before you order. Call the brand if you're unsure.

Is Alaskan King Bed Company the best mattress for you?
Choose Alaskan King Bed Company if you want an oversized mattress (8 ft to 13 ft wide) that standard brands do not sell, like room for kids and pets, and prefer a firm supportive feel hand-built in North Carolina. Skip it if you want a sleep trial with free returns, a soft plush feel, a budget price, or fast mass-market delivery, since mattresses are final sale and made to order.

Chapter 02
Comfort and firmness: which mattress fits you
Why this matters to you: Feel names are the brand's words, not measurements. Use them to shortlist two or three beds, then let your body decide.
Back and stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers: pick The Original for its firm supportive feel.
Hot sleepers: pick The Royale (cashmere, cotton, latex airflow) or Grand Royale (open-cell latex plus HyperCool).
Couples, kids and pet piles: any model in 108x108 or Biggie widths gives undisturbed room; pair with the brand's oversized frames.
Side sleepers wanting deep pressure relief: Not published as of Sept 2026 for a dedicated soft/plush option; the Medium comfort is reported by some buyers as feeling extra-firm, so confirm by phone at +1 877 267 7772 before ordering.

Which Alaskan King Bed Company feel fits you?
Weight chart not yet researched
Weight and sleep position can change how a bed feels. We have not yet checked whether Alaskan King Bed Company publishes a fit chart by body weight, so use a trial, where one is offered, to test the bed the way you sleep at home.
Neck: on your side, your nose should line up with the middle of your chest, not tip up or down.
Shoulders: your bottom shoulder should sink in. Tingling or a numb arm means the bed is too firm for you.
Lower back: on your back, slide a flat hand under your waist. A big gap means too firm; no room at all can mean too soft.
Hips: ask someone to look from the side. Hips lower than shoulders means the bed is too soft for you.

Compare the mattresses
Why this matters to you: Models from one brand can differ in feel, height and layers. Match the feel label and height to how you sleep before you compare prices.
Alaskan King Bed Company lists 3 models. Feel names are the brand's labels.
MODEL 1 - The Original (11in Firm): the entry giant mattress, described as "A firm and supportive mattress for sleepers of all shapes and sizes" with an organic-cotton quilted top and eco-friendly latex-like foam that sleeps cooler than memory foam; 8 sizes from Mini 96x96 to Biggie Max 156x108; sale $2,950-$5,600 (reg. $3,950-$6,600).

MODEL 2 - The Royale (Most Popular): mid-tier luxury model with a baby-soft cashmere cover plus organic cotton and natural latex for pressure relief, temperature regulation and support; from $3,500 on sale (reg. $5,500). Best for shoppers wanting a plusher cooler upgrade over the Original.

Why this matters to you: A starting price can rise with size, base and delivery. Get the full price for your size in writing before you choose.
The Original: sale $2,950 (Mini 96x96, Shorty 108x80, Shorty L 108x84)
$3,300 (Standard 108x108, Shorty XL 108x96)

The Grand Royale: from $10,000. Value verdict: fair for a custom USA-made giant mattress with no mainstream rival at these widths, but poor flexibility value since mattresses are final sale with no trial; financing at 0% APR (subject to credit approval) is offered.

How well do the mattresses hold up?
Why this matters to you: A mattress is a long buy. Lean on the written warranty and real owner reports to judge how it will last.
Expected to hold up like a typical quality foam/latex mattress over its 10-year warranty term: covered defects include visible indentations over 1.5 inches and foam splitting or cracking, with repair or replacement at the maker's choice. Long-term independent durability testing: Not published as of Sept 2026. Two-sided Grand Royale should wear longer by flipping.
Care: use the brand's oversized protector (from $325) and a properly sized rigid foundation; rotate per maker guidance.

Delivery, setup and old-mattress removal
Why this matters to you: Delivery terms decide your first week with the bed. Confirm the date, setup and old-bed removal before you pay.
Every order includes free curbside delivery; in-home delivery with packing disposal is included for the Grand Royale. Mattresses ship folded in half to fit regular doorways. Made-to-order lead times run about 1-3 weeks but reviewer reports of multi-week delays exist, so confirm timing before ordering.
Old-mattress removal: Not published as of Sept 2026. Assembly: frames have straightforward assembly per reviewers; mattresses need no assembly.
Typical wait: 1 to 3 weeks

What do the warranties cover?
Why this matters to you: A warranty is only as good as its terms. Read the written terms and use a supported base, because the wrong frame can end coverage.
Mattresses: 10-year limited warranty for the original buyer in the US (excluding territories) and Canada; non-transferable; 3 years for Trade customers. Covers indentations over 1.5 inches, foam splitting/cracking and zipper flaws; remedy is repair or replacement at the maker's choice. Sheets and protectors: 1-year limited warranty.
Furniture/frames: 2-year limited warranty. Disputes go to confidential binding arbitration in North Carolina. Full claim shipping/handling terms: Not published as of Sept 2026.
Covered when the dip is deeper than Over 1.5 inches, measured with nobody on the bed.
Strip the bed down to the mattress and wait a few hours so the top layers can recover.
Lay a straight edge (a broom handle or long level) across the dip, resting on the flat parts.
Measure from the edge down to the deepest point, then photograph the ruler for your claim.

Alaskan King Bed Company vs. other mattress brands
Why this matters to you: A fair comparison needs the same facts for both beds. Line up price, trial and warranty for each one.
Vs standard kings (76x80): no contest on space, since Alaskan King starts at 96x96 and runs to 156x108, but costs far more and is final sale. Vs Wyoming King / other giant-bed makers: sibling-brand positioning under "A Custom Mattress Factory"; head-to-head comfort or price testing: Not published as of Sept 2026. Vs mainstream luxury latex (e.g.
Savvy Rest, PlushBeds): comparable natural materials story with cashmere and latex, but fewer firmness choices published and no trial. Vs bed-in-a-box: opposite model, made-to-order USA build with white-glove options instead of compressed fast shipping.
Competitor details reflect published prices and specs on the date shown. Mattress brands may update prices and trial terms over time.

How we research and report
This page is an early draft built from our research sheet for Alaskan King Bed Company. We read the brand's own pages and public listings, and we do not test mattresses ourselves. Fields marked "Not yet researched" are still being checked.
We researched the official alaskankingbeds.com product pages, mattress collection, warranty, returns and reviews pages first, taking prices ($2,950-$5,600 sale for The Original; Royale from $3,500; Grand Royale from $10,000), sizes, materials and policy quotes from official text and page data. We also checked retailer and third-party review sources; where terms or reviews were not available we say so rather than guess.
Official claims and buyer-reported findings are kept separate above.
