I don’t recommend this mattress. I tried it at a 40winks store and lied down there for a few mins, it was really good at the shop so we bought a King size medium for $5000+ However, after a few months, it sags then it needs to be turned. King beds are so heavy to turn. If I don’t turn it, it gives me back ache. I don’t have any back issues and… Read more
I’m a back sleeper.
I waited hoping that I’d get used to it. But I did not. So contacted them after 1.5 yrs to ask if this is an issue with the mattress. Apparently it is not. It’s the mattress’s way of contouring to your body and it’s expected. Their comfort guarantee only allows you to change comfort level from medium to firm or soft but I still had to pay $600+. I decided to give it another chance and went ahead to change comfort level to firm. We also tried firm at the shop and it seems comfortable.
After comfort change, it was fine until a few weeks, it still sags so it needs to be turned again 2-3 weeks. It was ok for a few weeks but now It gives me back pain. I have to sleep in another room with a Koala mattress to give me good sleep.
I think it’s better to be able to try a bed for at least 2 months and have the option to return if it doesn’t work out or at least partially refund. You won’t know just by trying at the shops for a few minutes.
Avoid King Koil – Poor Quality Mattress and Even Worse Customer Service. We purchased a King Koil Platinum Luxury Serenity Medium Mattress (current RRP $9,399) three years ago, and it has been a terrible experience from the beginning. We’ve had to return the mattress three times due to severe sagging and loss of shape on both sides — so much so… Read more
that we’ve consistently woken up with back and neck pain.
After the second return, we were advised the only solution was to switch to a firm feel, as apparently that was the only way to prevent sagging. We reluctantly agreed, but the same sagging issues have happened again.
Now, with the most recent return, we’ve been left waiting for over four months with no resolution. The mattress was finally picked up for inspection, and we were given a loan mattress that we were told would be for two weeks. It’s now been six weeks.
I’ve called three times for an update and was promised a manager would return my call. It’s now been two weeks since the last call, and still no contact. The excuse? I was told to be understanding because "the managers are busy in meetings."
In short: - The mattress quality is terrible — repeated sagging and discomfort. The customer service is even worse — slow and unresponsive
I strongly recommend avoiding King Koil. This has been one of the most frustrating purchases we’ve ever made.
Regretful Purchase – I could swear the mattress in the shop was different (better) than the one delivered. I double checked the receipt and details but it was correct. After sleeping on it for a couple of nights we ended up in 'dips' but were just told to sleep in the middle! We had a store rep come out, had it taken back to be checked for manufacturing faults, none… Read more
found. The sides collapse so no good if you sit on the edge. For the money paid we are so disappointed and although you are led to believe there is a guarantee of some sort, if it exists it is a waste of time! Don't waste your money on this mattress.

Regretful purchase – This mattress is that one purchase that you make that you regret and then have to sleep on forever to try and get your money's worth. When It was delivered I was convinced it wasn't the same mattress I had laid on at the store. I even measured it to compare at the store convinced I had received the 'extra soft' one by mistake, but no. While I… Read more
originally purchased the 'Medium' firmness, it was so incredibly soft that you continue to sink in the longer you lay there, leading at least for myself, to an uncomfortable sleep. I went back a week later to speak to them about this, and my mattress was taken to be fitted with a 'firm' topper instead, at my expense of $500. Still I sink, still I'm uncomfortable. The indent is significant and I do wake up in pain often (I'm only 25 with no pre-existing conditions for reference). The mattress is now 1.5 years old and I haven't 'gotten used to it'. I had been a side sleeper but now I have to sleep on my back, ill even put a pillow under my back to prop myself tilted partially to the side to have a better sleep. While I recognise I have a responsibility of choosing that mattress, I truly feel that the one at the store did not represent what I received. I went back that second time and laid on it for a significant time, convinced it was not the same. In future, once I've convinced myself I'm allowed to purchase a new mattress after the discomfort I'm putting myself through as some self-imposed punishment for buying this expensive regret, I'll purchase one that has some sort of 100-day sleep guarantee or something. It's too important a purchase to not have that security in my opinion.
Hi Emily, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, and… Read more
Waste of money – We bought this mattress just over a year ago. Upon receiving it i said to my partner it doesn't feel like the mattress that we tried in store, i even had to check the tag on the matress to see if it was what we ordered. We had looked at cheaper stores Amart etc and thought no lets go to Forty Winks whom specialise in bedding big mistake. I should… Read more
of gone straight back to the store but my partner said leave it, but i have been in agony since owning this mattress nothing but aches and pains, feeling fed up of waking up in pain every morning. Mattress so uncomfortable and feels like it sags in the middle. Feel totally ripped off, our 20 year old mattress was better than this expensive one. So much for upgrading! Should of gone with a cheaper mattress, more $ obviously isnt better.

After 6 months this mattress was horrible – We initially loved this mattress, it was super comfy for about the first 6 months and now it is the worst mattress we’ve ever owned (we’ve now had it for a year and a half). We turn the mattress every fortnight as recommended by the manufacturer, but the mattress is horrible to sleep on. It is sagging, uncomfortable and lacks support - my partner… Read more
and I both wake up with back pain every morning. We tried to lodge a claim through the manufacturer however they are less than helpful & claim that it is “acceptable” sagging and general wear & tear. This mattress retails for over $7000 (luckily we got it for $3829 when Forty Winks had a deal) and now we are looking to purchase a new one, never again will we purchase another King Koil mattress.

Not firm and has indents – I bought a King Koil Royal Luxury Buckingham Firm mattress about 3 months ago and have turned it every coupke of weeks. However the springs didnt hold their firmness and There are indents in the bed already. What a waste of money. Don’t buy this mattress Show details

Worst mattress I've ever owned – After spending $4,500 on a mattress that I thought would be plush, has given me nothing but back problems for the last 2 years. I am a side sleeper and it has absolutely no support and constantly dips despite me constantly rotating the mattress every few months. I am getting less than 3 hours sleep a night and am ready to throw the mattress in the… Read more
bin. Do not waste your money on this product, you will come out with all sorts of pain. I wish I had bought a cheap mattress and am now considering buying a cheap mattress just so I can get a proper nights sleep and not waking up with constant pain. Absolute rubbish of a product! This should not be happening this early on from purchase, just 2yrs and 3 months.

Good sleep. Lots of comfort and support – I spent months researching mattresses, and finally chose the King Koil Platinum Luxury Serenity at forty winks. It was a lot more than i wanted to spend, but i believe it was worth it and will last me a long time. I am a side sleeper so needed something with support to take pressure off my shoulder and joints, and so far no aches or pains upon… Read more · 1
waking. I chose plush and its not as soft as i expected, though still comfortable. Also, It seems that most mattress salesmen i spoke to owned a king koil themselves which is a good sign. Though i might add, I called AH beard customer service to ask a question prior to purchase, and the lady said she would call me back later to help me, however never did.
Very comfortable indeed – I have had this bed now for two years snd really loved it at first. However, I feel as if the bed dips (I mainly sleep on my own) and I’m small, so it’s not a heavy ex partner or my size. I bought it for $2k on special from $7k. It is super comfortable apart from the perceived dip. Show details · 1
Zero after sales service care – looking to buy a new bed again and its a crazy world. Afraid of buying a kink koil as i did 4 years ago from 40 winks and once we bought the bed within a few months there was a dip where out bottoms are and we not big framed or over weight. 40 winks came out to see it and said that it was faulty and then the week after changed their mind and… Read more
refused to help at all. in the mean time our backs were getting more sore by the day because the hip area was dipping greatly. someone else came to see it and said that it wasn't a manufacturer fault and that the amount of sag was within acceptable range. REALLY?? So care factor zero once the purchase is done. zero after sales quality control from people who claim that they are making beds which people can feel comfortable on and get a good night rest. so liars as well because i wasn't sleeping and they didn't care. AHBeard management should realise that it is there duty of care to ensure that their product does what its meant to do and it doesn't matter if the sag is within their acceptable range it still means i'm not sleeping and i need to spend money on seeing a massage therapist which i didn't need to do prior to owning this bed. SO it is a manufacturer fault when this happens and you are just looking for loop holes to get out. so I did get a refund but only when I got mad enough and every night when i woke up in the middle of the night because i couldn't sleep i sent a text every now and then to the rep to ask if he was sleeping well because I wasn't. I also threatened to bring the mattress on a van and park outside of their shop and tell people what I was going through. (sleep deprivation makes you very angry) I guess he got sick of not sleeping and I got a refund. for those out there going through same a saggy bed within a few years is not acceptable and please dont let the bed companies get away with this behaviour because they know that most customers will be too embarrassed or too shy to do anything and they get away with it. I am weary not of trying the AH Beard beds again but very scared about the lack of customer service caring. when a customer purchases a product everyone gives great customer service but the proof is in how you are treated when something goes wrong. Not sure what other companies are like.

Outstanding quality – This is an outstanding mattress, my sleep has improved out of sight since we got this and I look forward to a good nights sleep every night. It's difficult to leave in the morning as it's so comfortable. Show details · 1
Don’t be fooled, King Koil isn’t Australian made – I am yet to receive my King Koil serenity mattress. The reason behind this, when we purchased it from forty winx we asked the staff several times where it was made, and they have said its 100% Australian made. Don’t be fooled, the mattresses are not 100% Australian made. The reason our mattress has been delayed several times, is because they are… Read more
waiting on some spring components to be shipped in from China. So in fact the mattress isn’t 100% made in Australia. I have asked the sales staff which opponents are made overseas and what is made locally, and it seems like you just get lied to. Buyer beware...

Worth the investment – I'm very pleased with my purchase 6 weeks ago from 40 winks for $3800. The bed is supportive, cool and comfortable. My back doesn't hurt anymore in the morning. Worried now I have read complaints about springs popping out but I sleep alone and their are no children jumping up and down with excitement. However I believe that a mattress should be able to cope with some rough and tumble activity. Show details · 1
Collapsed within 11 months – Bought from Domayne who were the only providers for $2975.00. Failed within 11 months and Domayne simply fob you off to AH Beard who will repair but not replace. Mattress was taken away and promised return in a week however as they had no other deliveries on the return date cancelled the trip and we had to wait until the end of the week for… Read more
return. The San Siro is a heavy mattress and we bought a gas lift bed based on the weight of the mattress. The loan mattress while ours was being repaired was too light for the bed and and the bed would not stay down without added weight on it. Should have gone to Making Mattresses who guarantee the sides to hold up. Won't buy from Domayne again as the care factor is nil and will not buy another AH Beard mattress.
Hi Karen Thank you for your review. We are sorry that… Read more
BEST INVESTMENT MADE – I really recommend this model and brand. We had a cheap queen mattress and made us hurt our back every night. We ended up having inflammation in our chest. After purchasing this mattress and matching base from Forty Winks, our sleep and wellbeing have been improved hips! When searching for a mattress think about where the product is made from and off (in this case, australian made). Show details · 1
Not as good as thr reviews say – WE purchased this mattress nearly two years ago based on reviews and having had another AH Baird mattress in the past and whilst it started off fine it has deteriorated in the last few months as the gel evidently has moved in it causing as major dip and a corresponding bulge.It seems that the Guarantee marketed by its retailers is only to repair… Read more
it not replace it which means taking it to a factory having it opened up.Not what you expect for the price , beware of the gel movements as we are now told this can happen when you turn the mattress ,great!!
4.5 stars I highly recommend this one – After months of agonising over which mattress to buy, I finally settled on the King Koil Luxury. I have only owned the mattress for a couple of months, but I am very happy. The mattress support is excellent, it's not quite as soft as I expected but I imagine it will soften up a little as I wear it in a bit more. The most important thing however is… Read more
that I no longer wake with sore hips and shoulders and that alone is worth the premium price. Probably 4.5 stars for me.
Terrific sleep – Most people only review things when they're unhappy with the product or service, though that doesn't seem to be the case with this King Koil mattress ensemble. Ours is labelled a Palace King Ensemble - the top of the line at Domayne, though it seems the same bed carries different names depending on the retailer. This is a supremely comfortable bed… Read more
- perhaps it would too firm for some people, but we like it like that. A high bed, too, which was something to get used to after our previous Miracoil. A great asset with the new bed is that when one of us moves around in the night, the pocket springs inside ensure the other sleeper is not disturbed. Money well spent.
King Koil Platinum Luxury Marseille Review – If I had the chance to throw $3500AUD at this mattress again my Wife and I would do it again in a heart beat. As someone with a lower lumbar issues from years of weightlifting and hayfever that is so bad that it is stirred up with that of a dusty bench wipe and vaccume of the house. This mattress is a god send, we don't say this lightly. When… Read more
you buy a $5000AUD mattress for $3500 (Forty winks sale) you nit pick on everything, you look for issues and problems.
To be blatantly honest with you, This mattress is flawless for a sleep it's cool in summer and warm in winter (even with the gel). it's softer than a cloud and is great for my allergies.
We have a mattress Cover for it which makes the mattress slippery and Sheets fall off each night but this is a small price to pay for protecting your mattress and can be fixed with sheet clips/straps Reliable, Soft, Cool, thick, stable, well made, Mattress has handles. Really heavy, Requires large sheets, hard to change sheets of Framed bed.
Best sleep ever – We bought the King Koil Platinum Luxury Versailles king size mattress a couple of months ago. I decided to spend the big dollars on this mattress as I have a lower back injury and I was sick of waking up every single day with aches and pains. I haven't been able to sleep on my back for years. I am very pleased to say that since we've had this… Read more
mattress, I've never slept better. Aches and pains are a thing of the past and I can now sleep on my back and bounce out of bed in the morning. The best $'s I've ever spent. My only regret... I should have done this years ago!! The only thing I don't like about this mattress... I have to get off of it each morning!! We strongly recommend this mattress Comfort and minimal partner disturbance, Having to get up each day!
Kind coild platinum luxury avignon – 6 star sleep. Only new i will keep you posted. So far it is the most comfortable bed i have slept in with paying to stay in a 5 star hotel. This bed tops the best nights sleep. Just wanted to crawl back into the bed through out my day. Although it is brans new it is still too early to see if the miles will be in the long term. Fingers crossed it will. Worth eey penny. Comfortable Show 9 replies
