Different Types of Alaskan King Mattresses

  • Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses are the preferred option for Alaskan king beds because of their flexibility. Memory foam’s viscoelastic qualities enable it to conform to the body’s contours, providing customized support and comfort. Furthermore, memory foam mattresses are frequently created with numerous layers of foam to improve airflow and breathability, resulting in a cool and comfortable sleeping environment. Memory foam is also more flexible, making delivering or moving the mattress through doorways and corridors easier.

 

  • Latex Mattress

While latex mattresses are known for their durability and natural resilience, they are not usually recommended for Alaskan king beds. This is primarily because of the size limitations of latex sheets, which are not widely available in sizes appropriate for an Alaskan king. Assembling a latex mattress of this size would require gluing together many latex sheets, which may compromise the mattress’s structural integrity and overall comfort. Furthermore, the sheer weight of a solid latex mattress in Alaskan king size may present logistical challenges during delivery and installation.

 

  • Gel Memory Foam

Gel memory foam mattresses provide a cooling alternative to traditional memory foam due to the incorporation of cooling gel beads or layers within the foam. Graphene is a popular cooling gel foam that distributes heat away from the mattress surface, resulting in a cooler and more comfortable sleep experience. Gel memory foam mattresses are especially well-suited for big beds like the Alaskan King because they assist in controlling temperature and preventing overheating, resulting in peaceful slumber all night.

 

  • Innerspring

Innerspring mattresses, with their coil-based support mechanisms, are not widely available in Alaskan king size. Innerspring mattresses’ inflexible structure makes them less flexible and more challenging to navigate through narrow places such as doorways and hallways. As a result, manufacturers rarely produce innerspring mattresses in Alaskan king-size.

Our Thoughts

From our experience and customer feedback, we’ve discovered that people prefer the Alaskan king bed for families, tall people, or professional athletes. Basically, this bed is for anyone taller than the average person. Some customers want a huge bed because it’s their dream bed. There are so many reasons why someone wants an Alaskan king bed. However, the above reasons are the most common based on our customers’ feedback. We originally had the one-piece Alaskan king bed, but it was not practical. Moving it from room to room was hard, and you had to have bigger doorways than normal. Our customers say that the two-piece with a single top is the most practical for any house. Not to mention, the newer style allows customers to easily change the top layer and make the mattress softer or firmer by just buying the top layer again. This seems to be the best option for our customers as it solves most issues concerning comfort.
