This is the one...it is all natural cotton, wool, latex, micro coils and coils. King Koil Natural Retreat Cascade Drift Firm Mattress · Mattress Warehouse https://share.google/Nmm20lukThfcelLvA

AI: Even though a major NC factory closed, Kingsdown still manufactures mattresses in the **U.S. (California, Florida, Texas, Virginia)** and **Canada (Toronto, Calgary, Shawinigan)**, focusing on handcrafted quality with expanded global reach, but maintains its HQ in Mebane, NC for R&D, distribution, and some production.  **U.S. Locations:** * **Mebane, NC:** Headquarters, R&D, training, distribution, and some manufacturing. * **California**. * **Florida**. * **Texas**. * **Virginia**.  **Canadian Locations:** * **Toronto, ON**. * **Calgary, AB**. * **Shawinigan, QC**.  **Key Takeaway:** Kingsdown has broadened its footprint beyond its original Mebane base, utilizing multiple facilities in North America to produce their hand-built mattresses, while still serving as the company's central hub.

Gotcha. I only looked at, felt and laid on the natural line which I thought was really nice. I felt the tufts with my hands and fingers and they were super soft. I loved the Cascade Drift quilt top firm.

The actual tufts felt like a natural cotton or wool shag and felt much different than the cover on the cascade. Felt great

It's already covered. With the material I described. Again, I didn't feel what he was describing. I'm sure it's true in how it's made, I just only felt the soft cover of the tuft.

King Koil makes a high quality line of natural mattresses. They are a bit pricey but very nice.

Mattresses are so subjective and every person is different. I can tell you I had a 6 month journey, visited at least 6 mattress stores and some of them 4 times. I had a top 5 list which included: Helix Elite Twilight Sealy Elite Brenham or Albany King Koil Natural line Sterns Lux Estate Then I went to a local store that is not a national brand and the salesman there listened to me and steered me to a brand I had not seen in the other stores - Diamond. Specifically the Black Diamond line. It was nice because it looked and felt the same quality as the others was $800 fell in the priceline of the middle of the others. I bought it and have only been on it for about 37 days. It was definitely firmer but has just started feeling a bit more like the showroom model. My wife and I just talked last night again about exchanging for a medium model but we both agreed that either our bodies are starting to adjust or it's getting better...we aren't sure yet. It's not perfect yet but definitely better. We love the looks and quality materials, it just exudes premium. We don't like the deep sink in and get trapped feeling of memory foam so we opted for the Luxury Quilt top model instead of the Hybrid Top model. We also opted for the Firm retail version called the Vail and if we exchange it will be for the same company and line but the medium model called the whistler. Really nice product. If you can find the Black Diamond in a store it will be an order and build and it will have their best coil system as opposed to the online version which is not different coil system. Retail version are not rolled and boxed they are delivered flat so they can put their strongest coils in them. All the mattresses I listed felt very premium and had quality materials. Sealy Elite has a great coil system, Helix Elite has incredible foams (8lb and 5lb) and the King Koil with its latex layers and micro coils was awesome. Good luck...

Not sure that should be your defining factor as some of these buyouts still allow the company full control and QA. The natural line from King Koil is a high quality line. However it is your preference and if you don't want to purchase from a large mfr then understood.

Most (maybe all) of the king Koil Intimate, Reserve, Natural lines are tufted, other than hybrids. Maybe some other lines too.

I sell King Koil, it’s inaccurate.

Hey Derek, I have had an issue with the mattresses I've been trying which I learned after receiving my third one in 4 months, that the outsides of the mattresses are firmer. They use a different material for "edge support". (Beauty Rest -> Serta latex > King Koil Natural. King Koil said they have a 4 inch edge support surrounding it). The reason why I replaced the other 2 with the place I bought it from is because as you got closer to the edge (if you're on your back) you can FEEL the difference in stiffness in the material. So one side of your body is on a firmer piece, while the other side is on the softer piece. Because of this it feels like I'm slanted toward the center of the mattress. The lady at the mattress store is shocked and never heard of anyone with this issue. I actually think it's crazy she has never seen this because it's so blatant! 1 - Do people report this issue often? 2 - Does this firm edge usually soften over time? I'm about 5 weeks into my King Koil (They refuse to replace any more mattresses with me -_-) and the mattress is fantastic but I still feel this issue. Here is a thread i made with more detail if you're interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/Mattress/comments/1t0rswl/are_you_supposed_to_avoid_sleeping_near_the_edges/

King Koil Natural. Personally I love it and has been really comfortable for me. I have degenerative discs so I need support.

You don’t need to spend $10k. So you need to go try a few out; I recommend only trying 3 max on one trip. Personally, I go to Macy’s furniture gallery (the bigger the better) b/c they have a large selection of brands. Personally I have a king size King Koil and love it. Just remember 1. Ask them how long it has been on display. The longer it’s been out the more “broken in” it will be. So your new mattress will be a lot firmer (between 10-25% depending on how long the floor model has been in display). 2. Take your time and lay there for a while and in different positions. To ensure you’re well supported and comfortable. 3. Buying a mattress and finding one can be the most frustrating experience. That’s why I recommend to only try 3 per visit and also t

King Koil makes several great mattresses. Their Natural line, Reserve and Smart Life are very nice mattresses.

I recently bought a mattress and I'm glad I went to some stores and tried them out first. I learned I don't like memory foam. I ended up getting a King Koil hybrid latex and I love it. It was expensive, but my back pain has almost completely disappeared so I'm not too mad about it. I found a few stores too that had examples of online bed in a box mattresses so you could try them first.
