Why an Alaskan King Bed Is Worth the Investment

Oversized mattresses are a big purchase, and when you’re used to choosing between comfort and practicality, a premium bed can feel like a splurge.

However, the Alaskan King isn’t just a bed. It’s where your baby falls asleep in your arms. Where the dog sneaks under the covers. Where weekend mornings turn into pancake parties and bedtime stories turn into cherished memories.

At Alaskan King Bed Company, we’ve spent over two decades perfecting the art of big, beautiful, family-first sleep. Every bed is handcrafted to last, designed for real life, and made to give you the kind of comfort you can feel in your bones (and your heart).

Let’s break down why an Alaskan King is more than a mattress. It’s an investment in your home, your rest, and the people who matter most.

1. Built to Last a Lifetime (and Then Some)

We don’t do shortcuts here. Our expert artisans handcraft every Alaskan King bed in our workshop in North Carolina. These are true masters of their craft who know how to build a bed that stands the test of time, night after night, year after year.

From the solid wood foundation to the premium materials inside every layer, we make sure your bed isn’t just big – it’s built right.

Forget about creaks, sags, or mid-sleep dips that send your back into protest. Instead, you get reliable, durable support designed to stay comfortable and stable through all of life’s seasons, like growing families, moving houses, pets who think they own the place, and everything in between.

We make furniture the old-school way, with care, precision, and a deep respect for quality. It’s the kind of bed you’ll still be bragging about ten years from now (and sleeping like a baby on, too).

2. Next-Level Comfort and Support

You don’t just want space, you want sleep that feels good. That’s why every Alaskan King mattress provides deep, restorative rest with the kind of comfort you can sink into, night after night.

We layer premium materials to deliver optimal pressure relief, balanced support, and temperature regulation that keeps everyone, from hot sleepers to snuggled-up toddlers, comfortable until morning. Whether you sleep sprawled out like a starfish or curled up with three kids and a golden retriever, your bed will adapt to your sleeping needs.

Our beds eliminate motion transfer, reduce pressure points, and support proper spinal alignment for all body types. It’s the kind of comfort you don’t have to think about – you just feel it the moment you lie down.

3. Designed With Families in Mind

Every inch of an Alaskan King mattress is designed to bring people closer while giving everyone the space they need to truly rest. That means no more clinging to the edge, no more accidental kicks to the ribs, and no more sacrificing your sleep for snuggles.

Whether it’s a newborn in a bassinet beside you, a toddler who always sneaks in after 2 AM, or a Saturday morning piled high with kids, pets, and pancakes, your family-size bed becomes the heart of the home. A space that holds it all – the chaos, the calm, and everything in between.

We know that family life doesn’t always follow a neat bedtime routine. And your mattress shouldn’t just work for one person, it should work for all of you.

4. A Range of Sizes You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Every family is different. Every home is unique. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all.

At Alaskan King Bed Company, we offer a large selection of giant mattresses – from the classic 108” x 108” Alaskan King to extended models designed for extra-tall sleepers or sprawling co-sleeping setups.

Whether you're furnishing a spacious primary bedroom or curating the ultimate sleep sanctuary for your guests, we’ve got a size that fits your life.

With seven oversized models, you can choose the dimensions that work for your space without compromising comfort or style.

Explore options like the Alaskan King Mini for a slightly smaller footprint, or go all-in with the Alaskan King Biggie, a true showstopper that gives everyone room to stretch, breathe, and still stay close.

And yes, we’ve thought about the details, too. Our matching oversized bedding and thoughtfully designed frames complete the experience, so everything feels intentional, balanced, and beautiful from the moment you walk into the room.

5. Premium Aesthetics, Effortless Luxury

With clean lines, timeless design, and high-end materials, our beds are made to anchor your bedroom with quiet confidence. Every detail, from the handcrafted frame to the tailored upholstery, reflects a commitment to beauty that lasts.

We believe luxury should feel lived-in, not showy. That’s why our designs are warm, welcoming, and easy to love. Whether your style leans modern, rustic, minimalist, or somewhere in between, our beds can complement your space, not compete with it.

Pair your mattress with an aesthetic oversized bed frame to create a look that feels intentional and elevated. It’s not just a place to sleep – it’s the statement piece your bedroom’s been missing.

And the best part? Our beds are as functional as they are beautiful. They can handle everyday life with real families.

6. A Smarter Investment Than You Think

We know an Alaskan King isn’t your average mattress, and that’s exactly the point.

Most traditional mattresses start to wear out around year 6 or 7, which leaves you with sagging spots, restless nights, and another trip back to the mattress store. Ours are built to last far beyond that. In fact, every Alaskan King mattress comes backed by a limited 10-year warranty, because we’re confident in the quality and we want you to be, too.

When you invest in a bed that’s handcrafted with premium materials and made-to-order by experts, you’re not just buying comfort for tonight. You’re choosing years of better sleep, stronger support, and fewer replacements down the line.

And unlike mass-produced mattresses that wind up in landfills, our beds are built with longevity and craftsmanship in mind. That means fewer resources wasted, fewer dollars spent over time, and a whole lot more restful nights.

Better for your body. Better for your home. Better in the long run.

From Our Family to Yours

At the Alaskan King Bed Company, we believe comfort is a foundation for connection. It’s what holds you during quiet moments, supports you through long nights, and brings your favorite people just a little closer at the end of each day.

For over 20 years, we’ve poured our hearts into building beds that do more than look good. They carry weight – literally and emotionally. They’re made to last, to live in, and to love for years to come.

So, if you’re ready to bring comfort, craftsmanship, and connection into your home, we’d be honored to build your Alaskan King.
