Should you buy the Ultra 14 6 Zone Smart Zone Bed?

Choose between the two orientations by the feel you want: Plusher Feel (sculpted side up) or Firmer Feel (flat side up). The names describe the reversible comfort foam, so your first choice is which side faces up. You can also adjust each zone from 1 to 100 in single digit increments. That is a separate choice from the foam orientation: decide which side to use, then choose the setting for each zone. Use the Plusher or Firmer label to identify the orientation you want.

The 1000 lbs support limit is described for the Night Air sleep system. It does not establish whether the Boyd Ultra suits side, back, stomach, or combination sleepers, or which body-weight bands it fits.

Boyd’s claim alone is not enough to call this a good choice for back pain. The brand describes a lumbar zone as a way to steady the lower-back area and reduce tightness on waking. That is the brand’s design claim, not a promise of pain relief. Weigh it as one design point with your own comfort, not as proof this mattress will ease your back.

The mattress has a Cooling Deluxe Ice Lux™ fabric cover and 3.5" 5-Zone Cooling MicroTec Gel™ memory foam. Boyd says vertical perforations support refreshing airflow and circulation.

At the $4,549 Queen list price this bed is worth considering only if it fits your budget. King also appears as an available size. Price alone cannot tell you whether the bed fits your needs, so compare it with your budget and priorities. Prices change, so check the live price before buying.

Ultra 14" 6 Zone Smart Zone Bed list prices by size

Height: 14 inches

The build includes six-zone heavy-duty TPU air cores. The brand says they personalize comfort on each side. Its listed layers run top to bottom:

• Cooling Deluxe Ice Lux™ Fabric Cover: fabric.
• Reversible 5-Zone MicroTec™ Gel Memory Foam: 3.5 inches. The brand says it targets cooling, contouring comfort, and support.
• High Density Foam Perimeter Support Tray: 10.5 inches. The brand says it prevents edge sag.

Use these listed depths to compare the build with another mattress, especially if foam type and edge support matter to you.

The cover is Cooling Deluxe Ice Lux™ fabric, and CertiPUR-US covers flexible polyurethane foam, not the whole bed. The brand says all Night Air beds meet CertiPUR-US standards for emissions, content, durability, and performance. This lets you assess the foam against those standards, but does not certify the cover or other mattress materials.

Night Air says the Boyd Ultra 14" 6 Zone Smart Zone Bed has a natural cotton fire barrier; the brand says it has never used fiberglass as a fire barrier. Check the bed’s law tag before buying to see which materials it lists. Then decide whether those materials fit your preference.

A platform bed frame or adjustable base works with this bed, the brand says. For adjustable use, the brand requires a 110 volt outlet for the processor. Check outlet access where you plan to place the bed before buying, so the processor can be powered.

SleepRanked gives the bed a Good durability rating, not a prediction of its service life. After unpacking, allow 24 to 72 hours for the foam to recover from decompression before judging its feel. For a feel change, reverse the comfort foam: sculpted side up is plusher; flat side up is firmer. Choose the side that suits the feel you want.

Boyd says delivery takes 7-10 business days after warehouse, so plan for a window rather than a fixed arrival date. If you need a specific day to arrange your schedule or prepare the room, this timing does not provide one; keep those plans flexible until you have an arrival date.

Boyd says its trial lasts 100 nights, and the return fee is $99. That gives you a set period to decide whether to keep the bed, while the fee means returning it has a cost. If you may change your mind, factor that charge into your budget before ordering.

Boyd's warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 20/10 years. For a sag claim, the listed threshold is 2 inches, so compare the dip with that depth. Tears, punctures, or cuts caused by accidents, abuse, improper component installation, or consumer/user negligence are excluded. Measure the sag and check whether the damage falls under an exclusion before filing.

Reviewers on nightairbeds.com praise the bed's adjustable softness and firmness. On 2026-10-22, the site listed a 4.9 rating from 108 reviews. Those are the site's own customer reviews, not an independent rating.

That gives you a concrete feature to weigh against your own comfort preference. The score describes how the site's reviewers rated the bed, but it cannot guarantee a personal comfort match. Use reviewer feedback as context, then decide whether this feature is worth choosing for your particular needs.

The Ultra 14 is the middle-height choice among its siblings; rivals offer an airbed or budget-focused alternative.

Choose Ultra 11 for its lower 11-inch profile, or Ultra 16 for its taller 16-inch profile. Choose Ultra 12 if you prefer an engineered-latex comfort layer that Night Air Beds describes as cool and responsive.

Saatva Solaire is another airbed option for couples: Sleep Foundation lists couples among its best-fit buyers and gives it an 8.7 overall score. Its Queen price is $4,789.

Choose the Siena 10-inch Signature Memory Foam Mattress if budget is your priority. Sleep Foundation also lists some side sleepers among its best-fit buyers, with a 7.5 overall score.
