Imperial Bedding Mattress Review

Imperial Bedding is a regional manufacturer in Huntington, West Virginia, in business since 1969. It sells through independent furniture dealers, not online checkout. The Hickory, North Carolina dealer price list shows seven innerspring families. Queen mattress-only prices run $130 to $505, and sets run $229 to $868. It's best if you're a local bargain shopper who can test in store. The biggest caveat is that the brand doesn't publish a trial, warranty, or certifications, so you'll need to get terms from the dealer.

If you sleep on your back, look at Budget I, II, or III in firm. Chiropractic Excellence in cushion firm gives a supportive two-sided feel. Stomach sleepers can try the firm Budget models, the most support-first picks by name. Side sleepers can look at Budget IV #413P plush or Splendor #250 plush, the softest dealer-listed picks. The brand doesn't publish pressure-relief testing.

If you sleep hot, the brand doesn't publish cooling materials or test data. Traditional innersprings breathe by design, but that's general category knowledge, not brand testing. For heavier sleepers, the brand doesn't publish weight guidance. By height alone, the 11 to 12 in two-sided Orthopedic Comfort models are the thickest picks. A latex model is rumored in the line, but the brand doesn't publish latex construction, pricing, or sizing. All guidance is inference from dealer spec lines, not brand sleeper testing.

These are dealer prices, listed as set or mattress-only and updated 7/20/2026 per the page. Queen mattress-only runs from $130 (Budget I) to $505 (Splendor and Chiropractic Excellence). Queen sets run from $215 (Budget I) to $640 (Splendor and Chiropractic Excellence). King sets run $465 to $868, and king mattress-only runs $250 to $643. The grid covers twin, full, queen, and king, except Budget I, which is stocked in twin, full, and queen only.

Queen sets under $650 and mattress-only under $510 price well below national innerspring flagships. Two-sided construction at these prices is rare nationally. But no published trial, warranty, exchange policy, or certification backs up the value. Confirm all terms by phone before you buy.

The dealer's price page lists the construction. Budget I, II, III, and IV use 390 queen coils at 13 gauge with 1.2 density foam and factory-select ticking. They're one-sided, except the two-sided #14 and #413P. The Freedom #118P uses a 312-coil 13-gauge unit with a euro pillow top over an 8in heavy-duty foundation. Splendor #250 and Chiropractic Excellence #200 use 1.8 density foam with Lura-Flex innersprings (650 and 805 queen coils). They also have quilted luxury covers and enhanced edge support.

The official site adds only that the Huntington factory uses modern equipment with hand assembly. The brand doesn't publish certifications. We found no CertiPUR, GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX, or other claims (checked September 2026). It also doesn't publish foam ILD, coil counts in non-queen sizes, cover fabric weights, fire-barrier type, or full layer stacks.

The brand doesn't publish warranty or durability terms (checked September 2026). No warranty document appears on the official or dealer pages. The durability signals come only from the dealer. Four of seven families are two-sided and flippable. The coils are 13 gauge. The Orthopedic Comfort models use 1.8 density foam, and Splendor and Chiropractic Excellence add enhanced edge support.

We found no independent durability testing from Cornell, RTINGS, or Sleep Foundation. The brand doesn't publish sag-depth thresholds, measurement methods, foundation requirements, or exclusions. Read the law tag and any written dealer warranty before you buy.

The official site has no reviews, and the shop page reads UPDATING OUR WEBSITE. We found no ratings for Imperial Bedding mattresses from Google, BBB, Sleep Foundation, Mattress Clarity, RTINGS, or Sleepopolis as of September 2026. The dealer page calls Freedom #118P the best seller and lists a phone and text line for questions, but it shows no customer reviews.

We couldn't verify any complaint themes from primary sources. Treat an in-store comfort test and written dealer terms as your pre-purchase read.

The official site says dealers service WV, OH, KY, PA, MD, IN, MI, NC, and SC. If you're in those states, ask the factory for the nearest dealer at 1-304-529-3321 or 1-800-529-3321. The brand doesn't publish a store locator or showroom program.

The brand doesn't publish delivery terms (checked September 2026). No shipping page, method, cost, speed, white-glove, or haul-away terms appear on the official or dealer pages. Mattresses are sold as sets or mattress-only through a single-store dealer. That implies local pickup or local delivery, so confirm cost, radius, and timing by phone.

The brand doesn't publish setup or old-mattress removal as included by the brand or dealer. It doesn't publish frame, base, or foundation compatibility specs. The Freedom #118P references an 8in heavy-duty foundation. Otherwise, confirm required support in writing before you buy.

The brand doesn't publish a direct sleep trial (checked September 2026). No trial length, return window, or exchange policy appears on the official or dealer pages. Returns and exchanges follow the selling dealer's unwritten policy. We couldn't capture return shipping, pickup, refund timing, or exchange details. No fees are stated, and comfort exchanges, restocking fees, and final-sale terms aren't published.

Confirm the live trial, exchange, and refund terms by phone or text at 828-322-4996, and get them in writing before you pay. No online terms page exists.

The brand doesn't publish a direct warranty document (checked September 2026). It doesn't publish covered defects, sag-depth minimum, warranty length, prorating schedule, transferability, foundation requirements, stain or cover-removal exclusions, commercial-use terms, or claim process. We captured no dealer warranty statements.

Verify coverage on your written receipt. Keep your proof of purchase, law tags, and foundation compliance.

Against Corsicana and American Bedding, which are value innersprings, both chase the sub-$500 queen. Imperial offers two-sided builds through local dealers, while Corsicana leans on bed-in-box marketplace distribution. Against Ashley Sierra Sleep, a value retail line, both are promotion-priced and dealer-distributed. The differentiator is Imperial's two-sided flippability versus Sierra Sleep's one-sided lineups.

Against Sealy Posturepedic Performance, a mainstream innerspring, Sealy wins on published specs and national trial and warranty presentation. Imperial wins only on ticket price. Against Zinus and Lucid, the online budget brands win on compressed-box shipping and posted reviews. Imperial wins if you want to test a traditional two-sided innerspring in store before you pay.

We read the brand's own product, policy and warranty pages, then checked retailer listings and public complaint sites like the Better Business Bureau. We last checked everything here in September 2026. Prices and policies change, so confirm them on the seller's page before you buy. You can read more in our methodology and editorial policy.
