Canada

The Studio Acton is a 10" tall innerspring mattress made of 5 layers of polyester and wool-blend batting, foam, and metal coils. Its edge contains 3" of high-density foam encasement. The foams in this mattress aren't CertiPUR-US® certified.

 

Mattress Layers

This mattress builds up to 2" of transition and comfort materials in small increments. These layers add cushioning so you don't feel the support system underneath.

  • 1st Layer: 0.5" of polyester and wool-blend batting helps remove excess body heat.
  • 2nd Layer: 0.5" of polyurethane foam which may be infused with gel, helping to relieve pressure points and provide some contouring for added comfort.
  • 3rd Layer: 0.5" of polyurethane foam. Like the layer above, which seems to have the same composition, this layer helps with temperature regulation, pressure-point relief, and contouring.
  • 4th Layer: 0.5" of polyester and wool-blend batting. Identical to the first layer, this layer of material regulates temperature.
  • 5th Layer: 7" zoned coils support the mattress's overall structure, and provide responsive support.

 

Mattress Cover

Studio Acton's mattress cover is made of a viscose and polypropylene blend, which is hypoallergenic and breathable. Kingsdown mentions that the mattress contains wool-batting to help absorb body heat and offer antimicrobial benefits.


Mattress Testing

/10

Made in

Firmness

Sleep Country markets the Kingsdown Studio Acton as a "firm" mattress. In third-party engineer testing commissioned by us, it scored 6.7/10 for firmness, which places the mattress in our "medium-firm" category. Medium-firm mattresses are comfortable for all sleep styles and body types.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress sinks under applied weight. The lower the score out of 10, the softer the mattress.

6.7

/10

Edge Support

The Kingsdown Studio Acton received a standout 9.7/10 edge-support score in third-party engineer testing. Sleepers can sit or sleep on the edge of the bed and feel really well supported.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.

9.7

/10

Cooling Features

Our mattress reviewers awarded the Kingsdown Studio Acton a cooling feature score of 3.3/10. This score is calculated based on the features below:

  1. Breathable viscose and polypropylene cover
  2. Layer of polyester and wool-blend batting to draw heat away from the body
  3. Layer of cooling gel foam for heat dissipation
  4. Pocket coils for breathability and airflow

If you're looking for a mattress with more cooling features, consider Logan & Cove Choice instead. Its top cover is designed with cooling nanofibres, breathable hollow fibre, and gel-infused foam, while its internal layers include more gel foam and individually wrapped steel pocketed coils. All in all, Choice earned a higher cooling feature score of 5.0/10.

Our Rating
?

Determined by entering a mattress's cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

3.3

/10

Motion Isolation

The Studio Acton scored 7.1/10 for motion isolation, which is very good for an innerspring mattress. You may still feel larger movements from a partner, but smaller movements will be absorbed into the bed and shouldn't be noticeable.

If you're looking for a mattress with even more motion isolation, we recommend the Logan & Cove Choice, with its higher score of 7.5/10.

Our Rating
?

Determined by measuring a medicine ball's impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.

7.1

/10

Bounce

The Studio Acton mattress scored 8.7/10 for bounce. This is a high score, even for an innerspring mattress. While it may be easier to shift positions on this mattress, it will spring back to its original position quickly, meaning less hug and contouring.

For a mattress with less bounce, check out Logan & Cove Choice. It has a bounce score of 5.8/10, which means the mattress surface feels more stable and hugs your body more. It's also more affordable than Studio Acton, at $999 for a queen-size.

Our Rating
?

Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.

Delivery & Other Policies

When you order a Kingsdown mattress from Sleep Country Canada, it'll be delivered to you fully expanded. Delivery usually takes 3–5 business days, and shipping is free if your order is over $75. Just a heads-up, though: if you're in Newfoundland and Labrador or one of the Canadian Territories, there's a $120 shipping surcharge.

Sleep Country includes a 10-year limited warranty with your mattress, which covers manufacturing defects. This is standard in the industry.

You also get a 100-night sleep trial to decide if it's the right fit for you. If you return the mattress during the trial, you'll need to bring it back to a Sleep Country store yourself, even if you bought it online. The company doesn't do mattress pick-ups for returns, and they don't issue refunds. Instead, you'll get in-store credit (minus a $65 exchange fee) to use toward another mattress. If your next pick is more expensive, you'll cover the difference in price.

Should You Buy Kingsdown Studio Acton?

Kingsdown Studio Acton

Queen $1,399

Kingsdown Studio Acton offers standout edge support and a very responsive surface. It's a medium-firm feeling mattress with an industry-average sleep trial and warranty, plus an exchange-only return policy. Studio Acton might be right for you if you want:

  • To buy your mattress from a major retailer like Sleep Country
  • The ability to try out the mattress in a showroom
  • A very responsive sleep surface

That said, we think you should consider Logan & Cove Choice instead. Choice stands out with more cooling features, a longer 365-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty. Plus, you get a free bedding bundle with your purchase, all for the more affordable price of just $999 for a queen-size.

Is Kingsdown a good mattress?

Kingsdown Studio Acton performed well in third-party engineer testing that we commissioned. It offers strong edge support and motion isolation, and a very high level of bounce.

The Kingsdown Studio Acton mattress is sold exclusively at Sleep Country Canada. Other Kingsdown mattresses are available at a selection of retailers like Sleep Country, The Brick, and Leon's.

Where are Kingsdown mattresses made?

What Kingsdown mattress alternatives should I consider?

We recommend Logan & Cove Choice. This mattress combines advanced cooling technologies for a comfortable night's sleep, including gel-infused foam, breathable Elastex® foam, and CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres in the cover. With a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, Logan & Cove Choice delivers a hybrid mattress to Canadian shoppers at a lower price point of $999 for a queen size.
