Kingsdown Passions Engleson Review: Is It Worth Buying?

Choose by comfort level: the Engleson offers two choices: Cushion Firm with support label Blue, and Firm with support label Red. Choose according to the level you prefer. The comfort words identify the choice, while the colors are support labels. Use the comfort wording as your guide when picking, and do not infer a sleeper type from a color. That lets you make a direct choice from the labels without turning them into a promise about who will sleep best on either option.

The Engleson may be an option for back support, but Kingsdown is the one making that claim. The brand says its three-zone design uses heavier-gauge coils in the center third for targeted lumbar support. That is a design claim, not a promise that the mattress will ease back pain. Consider it as one detail when judging whether the mattress’s support feels right to you.

Kingsdown says the Engleson has features meant to support cooler sleep. Its Fresh Comfort Quilt has cooling gel fibers on the mattress surface, which the brand says help maintain body temperature through the night. Kingsdown says Tri-Tech Gel Infused Memory Foam combines gel for cushioning with graphite, silver, and copper for cooling properties. The stated cooling approach spans the surface quilt and the foam.

At a Queen list price of $1,849.00, consider this mattress only if it fits your budget; the price was read 2026-10-19.

Compare the dimensions with your bed frame and room before picking a size. Measure the space around the frame too, so you can check the bed's fit before ordering.

Passions Engleson sizes

Height: 15 inches

Its build stacks comfort materials above a coil support unit.

• Top: Fresh Comfort Quilt, faced with cooling gel fibers.
• Next: Tri-Tech Gel Infused Memory Foam, with graphite, silver, and copper.
• Then: 3 inches of cushioning and plush foam. Kingsdown says these layers enhance pressure relief.
• Base: Tri-Zoned Support System with Posturized Center Support, using individually wrapped coils.

The Queen has 904 coils. Kingsdown says they contour to the body and provide personalized support for both sleep partners, a useful detail if you share the bed.

The cover is a Fresh Comfort® Quilt faced with cooling gel fibers, the listed surface material. The bed’s listed certification is CertiPUR-US® Certified Foam, and it covers foam only, not the whole mattress. Keep that distinction in mind when comparing material claims: the cover description and foam certification refer to different parts of the bed.

The Kingsdown Passions Engleson works with an adjustable base. Kingsdown lists its Innerspring, Foam and Hybrid collections as compatible with adjustable bases, so if you want an adjustable setup, keep this model in consideration while choosing a base for it.

Kingsdown recommends end-to-end rotation after month 1 and month 3, then every 3 months; flip it at each turn only if the mattress is two-sided. Put the schedule on your calendar. Allow 2 to 3 weeks for the bed to start conforming and for your body to adjust to proper postural support. Use that break-in period before deciding whether the feel suits you.

The brand says hybrid orders typically take 2-3 weeks from order to delivery, but it cannot guarantee a delivery date. Its free White Glove Service covers transport and delivery to the room you choose, subject to the asterisked terms on the product page. Before ordering, confirm whether setup and old mattress removal are offered, and what any removal fee would be.

Kingsdown offers a 100-night trial, but says you have 100 calendar days from delivery to return or exchange. A return carries a $150 restocking fee, so factor that cost in if you may send it back. Check the delivery date to track the cutoff.

The brand's stated sag threshold is 1” for non-quilted mattresses and 1 1/2” or greater for quilted ones. Check which type you have before comparing a dip, since the threshold differs by type.

The brand says a wrong base can limit warranty coverage. Use a base marked OK; this warning means coverage may be limited, not that it is automatically void.

Owners' feedback praises comfort, but one reported complaint is initial firmness. kingsdownmattress.com rates it 4.7 out of 5 from 1112 reviews, a snapshot of owner views, not an independent test.

Perigold's summary says customers praise comfort and quality, better sleep, and relief from aches and pains. A Perigold reviewer also says the mattress kept its shape and felt comfortable, which may matter if shape retention is important to you.

One recent Perigold reviewer initially found it too firm after switching from an all-memory-foam bed, then got used to it after a few days. Kingsdown's guidance is to allow 2 to 3 weeks for the bed to conform and your body to adjust. Give it that window rather than judging by one reviewer's experience.

The Engleson's closest comparisons are Kingsdown's siblings, which offer different feel and feature options:

• Insignia Cool Rise: cushion firm support in a smooth top, with fabric designed to keep the sleep surface cooler.
• Insignia Cool Duet: motion separation to minimize partner disturbance when sharing a bed.
• Insignia Cool Contour: plush, resilient cushioning from gel infused foam.
• Passions Bankwell: a plush feel with responsive, breathable latex.
• Passions Kelbrooke: an ultra plush feel with deep pressure relief.
• Passions Allsworth: plush cushioning with pressure relief at the shoulder and hip.
• Select Syrah: plush comfort with temperature-balancing, moisture-wicking wool and breathable Dunlop latex.
• Select Pinot: cushion firm support with motion separation to minimize partner disturbance.
• Prime Glencastle: plush innerspring with individually wrapped coils that mitigate motion transfer.
• Prime Parkman: cushion firm innerspring support with gel infused memory foam focused on the lower back.

Sleep Foundation's medium firm hybrid Helix Midnight suits side and back sleepers; the outlet scored it 9.1/10. Queen: 1478.75. Saatva Classic, Queen: $2,229.

The dated change was to Passions packages, not a confirmed change to the Engleson since launch. In January 2023, all three Passions cover and quilt packages changed to incorporate specialty foams. For this model, treat that as a line-wide package update, not confirmation of its launch-year or current build.
