Pike's Mattress (Pike's Brand) is an Evansville, Indiana family mattress maker, in business since 1946. It went online-only after a September 2024 fire destroyed its store and plant. Six models run from about $510 to $2,900. They mix partner-built American innersprings with Ortho Mattress hospitality and latex hybrids. It's best if you want a US-built two-sided innerspring. It doesn't publish a sleep trial, and the Originals are local-delivery only.

Chapter 02
Comfort and firmness: which mattress fits you
Why this matters to you: Feel names are the brand's words, not measurements. Use them to shortlist two or three beds, then let your body decide.
Side sleepers: Capri Plush (soft contouring for shoulders and hips) or Miss Virginia Pillow Top and St Augustine Pillow Top (plush tops over support). Back sleepers: Miss Virginia Standard Top (firm, minimal sink), St Augustine Standard Top (medium-firm), or Lansdowne Ultra Firm (very solid). Stomach sleepers: Lansdowne Ultra Firm first, then Miss Virginia Standard.
Hot sleepers: Ace (wool plus latex, temperature-regulating positioning) or Kalahari (gel memory foam plus ventilating quilt, per maker). Higher-weight or edge-sitting shoppers: Miss Virginia and St Augustine cite seating-grade edge support; Kalahari cites Solid State edge. Guidance is brand and maker positioning only; no per-model sleeper test data published.

Which Pikes Mattress feel fits you?
Weight chart not yet researched
Weight and sleep position can change how a bed feels. We have not yet checked whether Pikes Mattress publishes a fit chart by body weight, so use a trial, where one is offered, to test the bed the way you sleep at home.
Neck: on your side, your nose should line up with the middle of your chest, not tip up or down.
Shoulders: your bottom shoulder should sink in. Tingling or a numb arm means the bed is too firm for you.
Lower back: on your back, slide a flat hand under your waist. A big gap means too firm; no room at all can mean too soft.
Hips: ask someone to look from the side. Hips lower than shoulders means the bed is too soft for you.
Figure 2.1: Four checks to run in a store, lying still in the position you sleep in most. The store test in chapter 11 says how long to lie on each bed.

Compare the mattresses

Mattress prices and value
Why this matters to you: A starting price can rise with size, base and delivery. Get the full price for your size in writing before you choose.
Mattress prices (list, all sizes cost more; page prices shown equal for regular and sale): Capri Plush from $509.99; Original St Augustine from $1,300; Original Miss Virginia from $1,400; Kalahari $1,619.99; Lansdowne Ultra Firm $1,929.99; Ace Latex and Cotton and Wool $2,900. Foundations and adjustable bases extra (e.g. 5 in and 9 in foundations, Bunkie Board from about $115, power bases).
Value read: Capri undercuts most US-built hotel-supply hybrids; the two-sided Originals compete with specialty two-sided shops rather than bed-in-box; Ace at $2,900 prices against luxury natural latex-wool beds. Confirm street price per size at purchase;.

How well do the mattresses hold up?
Why this matters to you: A mattress is a long buy. Lean on the written warranty and real owner reports to judge how it will last.
Durability evidence is maker-reported only. Positives: Miss Virginia and St Augustine are double-sided and flippable, which spreads wear across two sleep surfaces; Kalahari carries a 10-year full replacement warranty against defects; Ace is positioned as hospitality-grade for commercial lodging use; Capri cites a CertiPUR-US foam core for stability over time.
Gaps: no published sag or indentation threshold, no foam densities or coil gauges, no independent durability testing (e.g. rollator), and no brand-wide warranty length for the Pike's-built Originals. Treat long-term comfort life as unverified; flipping the two-sided models per maker guidance is the main documented longevity lever.

Sleep trials, returns, exchanges and fees
Why this matters to you: Feel is hard to judge in a store or in a week. Know your exit plan and its cost before you pay.
No sleep-trial length is published on surveyed product or policy pages as of Sept 2026. The posted refund-policy page body contains no mattress-specific return window, mechanics, restocking fees, or exchange terms retrievable as of Sept 2026. Returns, exchanges and fees: not published as of Sept 2026.
Shoppers should confirm trial, return-shipping responsibility, condition requirements, and any custom-order exclusions by phone (812-422-5761) before purchase, especially for the 3-to-5-week custom-built Originals. Kalahari defect remedy runs through its warranty, not a comfort trial.

Delivery, setup and old-mattress removal
Why this matters to you: Delivery terms decide your first week with the bed. Confirm the date, setup and old-bed removal before you pay.
Ships within the contiguous 48 states only; outside areas need a custom quote. Rates calculated in cart by product and location; most orders ship within 3 business days; many items drop-ship direct from the manufacturer. Made-to-order lead times: Capri Plush 7 to 14 days; Miss Virginia and St Augustine 3 to 5 weeks.
Miss Virginia and St Augustine are local-delivery only, cannot be rolled for UPS parcel shipping, and freight can be quoted but is often nearly as much as the mattress. Foundations sold separately. White-glove setup, old-mattress removal, delivery speed guarantees, and adjustable-base specs: not published as of Sept 2026.
Typical wait: 7 to 14 days

What do the warranties cover?
Why this matters to you: A warranty is only as good as its terms. Read the written terms and use a supported base, because the wrong frame can end coverage.
No brand-wide warranty length, coverage, sag threshold, exclusions, or claim process is published for Pike's Mattress as a whole as of Sept 2026. Model-level: Kalahari includes an Ortho 10-year full replacement warranty covering manufacturing defects. Ace, Capri Plush and Lansdowne show no warranty terms on their Pike's Brand pages; as Ortho Mattress Inc. builds, Ortho's standard terms may apply, confirm before purchase.
Miss Virginia and St Augustine show no warranty terms on their pages. State implied-warranty rights may apply; confirm transport coverage for freight-shipped Originals in writing.

Review counts checked on each site · they change daily
Customer reviews and complaints
Why this matters to you: Star ratings depend on who posts and where. Read the low-star reviews for patterns, not just the average.
Brand-site ratings: no star ratings, review counts, or testimonial modules found on surveyed Pike's Brand product pages as of Sept 2026. Third-party ratings (Google, BBB, Yelp) for Pike's Mattress of Evansville, Indiana: not published as of Sept 2026. Complaint themes: not published as of Sept 2026.
Context for shoppers: the business changed hands in August 2024, suffered a total-loss fire on September 14, 2024, and now sells online-only with partner builders, so pre-fire store reviews would not reflect the current fulfillment model. Ortho-built models (Ace, Capri, Kalahari, Lansdowne) are manufactured under Ortho Mattress standards and warranties, not Pike's plant warranties.

What are the mattresses made of?
Why this matters to you: Layer names say little without numbers. Ask what is inside your exact model, layer by layer.
Kalahari: cotton-blend quilt, gel-infused memory foam comfort layers (double-sided), independent 360-degree honeycomb coils, Solid State foam edge; maker states polyurethane foams free of formaldehyde, flame retardants, prohibited phthalates and heavy metals with low-VOC indoor air-quality standards. Lansdowne: Dunlop latex plus pocketed coils, CoolQuilt and Solidstate comfort layers (thicknesses and densities not published).
Miss Virginia: traditional innerspring, copper-infused cover and foam, seating-grade edge, double-sided. St Augustine: traditional innerspring, seating-grade edge, double-sided. No foam densities, coil counts, latex certifications (e.g.
GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX) or cover fabric specs published as of Sept 2026.

Where can you try and buy the mattresses?
Why this matters to you: Where you buy sets the price, the trial and who handles problems. Check the seller's terms, not just the brand's.
Online-only at pikesbrand.com (Shopify storefront) following the September 2024 fire that destroyed the Evansville, Indiana store and plant; no showroom to try beds in person. Phone help at 812-422-5761 for firmness selection, per the brand's About page. Miss Virginia and St Augustine are available for local delivery only and cannot be rolled for parcel shipping.
The same storefront also lists third-party mattresses (Brooklyn Bedding, Bear, Avocado, EOS via The Sleep Loft) and Pike's accessories, which are separate brands, not Pike's builds. Sibling builders: Ortho Mattress Inc. builds the Ace, Capri, Kalahari and Lansdowne to hospitality and reserve specs; an unnamed industry partner builds the Originals to Pike's specs with all-American components.

Pikes Mattress vs. other mattress brands
Why this matters to you: A fair comparison needs the same facts for both beds. Line up price, trial and warranty for each one.
Vs Ortho Mattress: four Pike's-listed models (Ace, Capri, Kalahari, Lansdowne) are Ortho builds, so compare Pike's online pricing and freight against Ortho's California showrooms and hospitality division; Pike's wins on access for Midwest online shoppers, loses on try-before-buy. Vs national innersprings (Sealy, Beautyrest): the Originals win on two-sided flippable construction, lose on trial, warranty transparency, and dealer network.
Vs natural latex-wool specialists (Avocado, Savvy Rest style): Ace wins on hotel-luxury positioning but loses on published certifications. Vs value bed-in-box (Brooklyn Bedding, Zinus): Capri wins on US-built hotel-supply story, loses on trial length and review volume.
Competitor details reflect published prices and specs on the date shown. Mattress brands may update prices and trial terms over time.

How we research and report
This page is an early draft built from our research sheet for Pikes Mattress. We read the brand's own pages and public listings, and we do not test mattresses ourselves. Fields marked "Not yet researched" are still being checked.
Researched September 2026 from official pikesbrand.com pages first (Ace Hotel mattress page; About Us; mattress collection catalog; Shopify product data for all six models; shipping and refund policies), then attempted retailer and third-party review sources.
Brand and maker claims are labeled as such; foam densities, coil counts, certifications, trial terms, warranties (except Kalahari), review ratings and complaint themes were not published or retrievable and are recorded as not found rather than filled. Key sources: pikesbrand.com product pages for Ace, Capri Plush, Kalahari, Lansdowne Ultra Firm, Miss Virginia and St Augustine; pikesbrand.com About Us and shipping policy.
