Sleep King Comfort Sleep Mattresses

With heavy-gauge coils and high-performance materials, these mattresses are durable and built to last. Be sure to try one of these mattresses out in our showroom - our customers love the pocketed coils and minimal motion transfer.
Sleep King Golden Mattresses
The Golden brand is lesser known than some, like Tempurpedic. Still, it is a quality product with many foam and non-foam options that we think you'll love. Choose from standard memory foam, hybrid, and innerspring options while visiting our showroom in Augusta.
Tips on Choosing the Best Bed
There's much more to choosing a good bed than how you think it will look in your bedroom. There's plenty to think about, from innerspring options to memory foam and even hybrid mattresses. At Sleep King, our priority is our customers. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service. We want to do right by you, which why we want to be sure you find the perfect bed when you visit our mattress store in Augusta, GA. To help you get started, here are a few tips on choosing the best bed for your sleep needs.
Visit a Showroom
This tip might seem like a no-brainer to some, but it's important that you visit a showroom so that you can lay on different beds to get a feel for what you like. At Mattress King, you will have the chance to explore different styles, designs, and shapes, and mattress materials. Finding a bed online at a price you can afford is great, but you should lie on the bed first, not just look at it on a screen.
Determine Budget
Here's a surprising fact: just because a mattress costs more money, it doesn't mean it's going to be a better bed. Sure, more expensive beds might have newer technologies and materials, but not everyone has the budget to walk into a mattress store in Augusta and spend $3,000. Figure out what price range you're comfortable paying and look at the best options for your bottom line.
Consider Bedroom Size
Before you swing by our showroom and start trying out beds, it might be a good idea to measure the space where your new mattress will go. If your bedroom is on the small side, a king-sized bed might be too big. Similarly, a small bed in a huge room might make for strange aesthetics. Aim for a reasonable amount of room around your bed - enough where you can walk around comfortably. As mentioned above, get specific measurements of the area you plan to use. That way, you have peace of mind knowing your new mattress will fit in your bedroom.
Choose a Mattress Material
This tip often comes down to personal preference. It will take a little bit of trial and error to figure out which material works best for your back - innerspring, memory foam, or latex. While your friend's and family's opinions matter, keep in mind that their mattress choice was subjective. What works for them won't necessarily work for you.
Need a quick refresher on different mattress materials? Here's a quick overview
Innerspring
Also called coil mattresses, innerspring beds are probably the most well-known on this short list. Innerspring mattresses are often more affordable than their latex and memory foam counterparts. These beds are ideal for people who want a lot of support and a cooler night's sleep.
Latex
This material is known for its great cooling properties and overall comfort. With latex, there are no strange off-gassing odors like you sometimes get with memory foam. Latex mattresses are ideal for people who want a responsive, bouncy feel and may have problems sleeping hot.
Memory Foam
First developed by NASA in the 70s, memory foam is probably the most popular material in the modern mattress market. Memory foam conforms to every inch of your body, giving you maximum comfort and support. Memory foam is also know for its anti-motion properties. Memory foam can be a great choice if you tend to toss and turn at night and sleep with a partner who wakes up when you do. Memory foam mattresses are ideal for people who need pressure relief, good support, and refreshing comfort.
Think About Your Back
If you have a bad back, it's crucial that you find a mattress with proper support. Slat and spring beds often offer plenty of support, but latex and memory foam options have come a long way. If you want memory foam or latex but find the support to be subpar, consider an adjustable base instead of a normal platform. That way, you can always sleep in a comfortable position that benefits your back.

Augusta, stand up. Take a bow.
My father used to say, “It’s a sorry dog that doesn’t wag its own tail.” Augusta, I think you should definitely get some tail wagging in this week.
It’s official. Augusta is the epicenter for high school basketball in the state of Georgia. No other city or town in Georgia does basketball like you.
Period.
End of discussion. But let’s talk about it anyway.
The Josey Lady Eagles and the Westside Patriots are both heading back to Macon Thursday for a chance at a state championship.
For Josey, it would be its second in the last four years. For Westside, well, can you say, “3-peat?”
Coach Jerry Hunter can. But he can’t do it without first thanking a higher power.
“To God be the glory,” Hunter said when asked his initial thoughts on his top-ranked Patriots’ 70-59 win over Columbia Saturday in Milledgeville. The win officially punched his team’s ticket to the GHSA Class AA state championship game against Toombs County Thursday at 3 p.m. at the Macon Coliseum.
“It’s unreal. It’s surreal,” Hunter continued, speaking slowly, deliberately as if he were truly trying to find the words to say. “To be here last year, and back this year knowing we have an opportunity.
Josey girls coach Nichelle Chapman wasn’t much better than Hunter at finding the precise words to capture the feeling.
“I don’t know whether to cry or laugh,” Chapman said moments after Josey knocked off Central-Macon 45-38, doing it in come-from-behind fashion.
“I have a million thoughts, emotions,” the second-year head coach said. “It’s straight surreal right now. Like I said, I don’t know whether to cry or jump for joy. I really don’t.”
But Hunter knew enough to realize that the Georgia high school basketball world is discovering that Augusta is no longer a hidden gem.
“I think the state of Georgia is recognizing that, hey, right now, there’s something special going on [in basketball] in Augusta,” Hunter said. “And right now, we’ve gotta build on it. It can be a situation where our community can change with this. But we’ve got to buy in. We’ve got to put the right resources in front of these kids at the right ages.”
Here’s what’s been going on in Augusta-area basketball since 2012: 18 state championships from nine different area schools. Four back-to-back state champs and one program, North Augusta, that won four straight from 2017-2020.
Those state crowns range from Class A to Class AAAAAA, both on the boys and girls side, in both Richmond and Columbia counties and in both states of our coverage area.
The city will have two chances to add to that state championship total Thursday. And if one or both teams make good on their quest for state crowns, I’m calling for whomever is in the realm of large scale decision making in our city to create something big, grand and special to commemorate the accomplishments of these kids.
If Westside wins a third straight championship, you’ll literally have a dynasty on your hands, Augusta. In the 102 years that the GHSA has been keeping track of state basketball championships, only 10 programs have won three straight state championships.
Miller Grove leads them all with six straight from 2009-2014. Ironically, the Columbia program Westside beat in Milledgeville Saturday is one of the most recent to win three straight. No one else has done it since Wilkinson County won a trio of consecutive Class A state titles from 2017-2019.
That’s a long way of saying, what Westside, Josey and the rest of the city is doing is rare.
When I was on 92.9FM The Game’s Saturday morning radio show discussing the Augusta area’s basketball prowess, I was asked an interesting question regarding what was the “secret” so to speak to the city’s success.
I thought about it a moment. And then it hit me — it’s coaching.
Stop and think about the level of coaching acumen Augusta high school hoops boasts. Westside’s Jerry Hunter is one of a few to have coached multiple teams to state championships.
Lawrence Kelly built a boys basketball powerhouse in short order at Cross Creek to go along with the success girls coach Kim Schlein was able to curate for 20 years.
At Butler, Cervantes Boddy played for a state title in his first year as head coach, then spent the next 13 seasons keeping Butler in the conversation annually, while playing for another against Westside two years ago.
Now, Chaz Clark, a former player and long-time assistant for Boddy, placed Butler boys basketball into the Class AA Final Four in his first year at the helm, with a smallish roster and a group of young guys learning to lead on the court for the first time.
Staying at Butler, we can’t underestimate the job Eboni Fields is doing coaching girls basketball. In five seasons, she’s gone 92-53 and should grab her 100th coaching win at Butler next season. Her Lady Bulldogs have never missed the state tournament since she’s been there.
And this year, she helped coach a young lady who’s never played high school basketball before to double-digit scoring and double-digit college scholarship offers in her first and last high school season.
And that’s just in the Augusta city limits. Lest we forget coaches like Darren Douglas at Grovetown who won state championships at both Aquinas and with the Warriors. Thomson’s Michael Thomas has been at it for over 40 years and has built a powerhouse program that’s been a picture of consistency.
North Augusta has won five state championships in the last seven years, and head coach Al Young is a big reason why. And even at Lakeside, you can already see the difference a year makes under first-season leader Matt Scott.
The thing is, all of these coaches could easily go to other programs in bigger classifications and cities and be successful. They choose, however, to stay in Augusta and keep building for this city — a city that, particularly this sports calendar year — has been dogged with reports of violence involving students in several area high schools.
And here’s where I step up on my soap box a bit. When those school shootings and football field fights happened, people made much ado about it. It was talked about, written about, broadcasted on television.
People gathered to discuss it in churches, community and civic organizations. Let’s keep that same energy for the times when these young athletes do good things — both in and out of the classroom.
I say, win or lose, the city should do something publicly to honor what these teams have done to get as far as they have. And especially if Westside makes history with a three-peat or if both Westside and Josey win state championships, somebody needs to plan something — a parade, a city-wide pep rally at Augusta University’s gym. Something.
Back when Laney alum Jaylen Watson won a second straight Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, I wrote that his jersey should be retired at Laney and that the city should recognize him big. I still feel that way, plus some when it comes to these basketball athletes.
Lots of talk is happening right now about school closures, right-sizing and how to make Richmond County schools, in particular, more competitive in the classroom and through athletics. Some of the solutions are complex and will require decisions to be made at a level way above most of our pay grades.
But one thing, I believe, we can all do to help our local schools keep a competitive edge is support them.
You and I may not be able to move the needle much in terms of giving coaches more money or giving the athletes better facilities. But we can show high-level appreciation whenever accomplishments warrant such.
That’s what keeps good coaches around. Feeling appreciated. That’s what motivates young students to keep achieving. Feeling appreciated.
And the good news is, much of the basic appreciation that our local coaches and athletes ask for doesn’t cost more than the money it takes to buy a ticket to the game or to put gas in the car to drive to a venue. That’s bare minimum stuff, but it’s also heartfelt and goes a long way.
I love how loud and vocal Augusta-area fans were in Milledgeville Saturday for the three teams that competed in the Final Four. Let’s try to double that for Macon Thursday.
And especially if (when?) one or both of these teams bring home state championship hardware, let’s go out of our way as an entire city to show them love.
Years ago when my home-state Nebraska Cornhuskers were winning national championships in college football, one of my favorite places to be after a bowl game victory was on 72nd and Dodge Street in my hometown of Omaha. That’s where people would gather and celebrate victory on the game’s biggest stage.
I’ll never forget when I covered high school sports in metro Atlanta and Ola High School won a state softball championship, the people in that small Henry County community literally flooded the streets in support of this high school softball team.
With all the fervor and passion Augusta fans bring to high school basketball, there’s no reason why such a show of a support shouldn’t or couldn’t happen here.
Make it happen. Show this city’s athletes that you have their back when they represent this city in the best ways possible. Wag the tail, Augusta, and help push the true narrative that good things can and do come from your city.

THOMSON, Ga. (WJBF) – The students at R.L. Norris Elementary are closing out black history month with a bang.
Students were decked out in costume and ready to represent at the Norris Elementary Black History Live Museum.
“The kids are smiling, they’re so excited, this is social skills, and public speaking and I am so excited for these kids. We did a great job,” said Science and Social Studies Educator, Lakesha Williams.
Each student showcased a different individual and talked about what they contributed to society.
“Hello, I’m George Washington Carver, I was born a slave in 1864,” said Caleb Johnson.
“Hi, my name is Zora Neal Huston, I’m an African American author born on January 7th, 1891. I became an author because of Boas,” said Angelic Newsome.
Parents were excited to see the students portray different people for Black History Month. Each year the museum has gotten bigger and better and this year they decided to add something special.
“We decided to add our local influencers here like Mrs. Netty Robinson, Johnny Norris, Dr. Mac Bowman,” said Williams.
“What really makes me feel good is hanging out with Jaden. This young man, this was part of his research and I was just telling him that I grew up just like he did, doing just the things that he did, sports and otherwise, but he’s already told me that he’s got plans for the future, athletics and also some things,” said Cardiologist Dr. Mac Bowman.
The students had a great time, and wouldn’t break character for anyone.
“At the age of 20 I escaped slavery on September 3rd, 1838,” said Trappas Crafton.
“I am Mae Jamison. I am known for being an engineer, a medical trained doctor, the first African American woman in space,” said Jordyn Felts.
“Simone Biles started gymnastics at an early age, she is known for setting the record in America for winning the most gold medals,” said Alexandria Alexander.
“I was the first African American to work for NASA, I am a mathematician and aerospace engineer,” Charlotte Lowe.
The Norris Elementary Black History Museum was a success and next year it’s sure to be back and better than ever.
“I’m so excited, continue the work, continue pushing forward, continue knowing your history and continue being a great student at R.L. Norris Elementary,” said Williams.

AUGUSTA, Ga (WJBF)- Monday night, the first of 6 public forums will be held to discuss the 5 to 10 year Master plan for the Richmond County School System.
The current proposal includes opening new facilities, closing a few schools and consolidating others.
Since the news broke that the Richmond County School System was looking to make changes that included the closing of several schools, it has been a hot topic on social media.
This has created some concern and a lot of questions.
Starting Monday, the school district is inviting parents, staff, alumni and even current students to attend these meetings, not only to get information but also to voice those concerns and ask those questions.
Many are upset because some schools would close and others would merge, including Glenn Hills High School and TW Josey High School.
School board chairman, Charlie Walker, said that while some of these changes may be hard, they are all in the best interest of the students.
“At the end of the day, if Richmond County wants to get a better education system for the kids who are currently in school…I went to Tutt 47 years ago. Loved the experience there. But the kids who are at Tutt Middle School right now are the ones that are having to deal with the things that we either can or can’t provide to them. And so my 47 years ago experience of being at Tutt doesn’t come into play with what’s going on right now,” Walker explained.
The sessions will explain a proposed Facilities Master Plan with a focus on goals for the first year and details for the next 5 to 10 years.
These are recommendations from Georgia Strategy Group, a consultant firm hired by the district.
The goal of the plan is to provide students with the best possible education, in the best facilities with the best resources available.
Walker hopes as many people as possible attend these meetings.
“There will be an opportunity to answer any question. And these meetings have no time frame. They have a start time, but they don’t have an end time. They’re willing to stay there and do whatever is ever necessary, not to try to convince you that your point is correct, but to try to get you to understand what we’re trying to…what we’re putting out there. So that, like I said, we can move forward with improving the educational standard here in Richmond County,” he said.
Walker stressed that right now the Master Plan is in the planning phase and a lot of changes could be made before the school board’s final vote.
Monday night’s meeting is at 6 p.m. at A. Brian Merry Elementary School on Boy Scout Road.
Take a look at the schedule below:

ATHENS-----Georgia continues a stretch of 15 games in 20 days with a neutral site contest against Georgia Southern Tuesday followed by a home game against Stetson Wednesday.
The Bulldogs (10-1) will be the visiting team against the Eagles (4-7) at SRP Park in North Augusta, S.C. Georgia clinched a series over Georgia Tech this past weekend while the Eagles dropped a home series to No. 21 Campbell. On Wednesday, the Bulldogs are back at Foley Field to play host to the Hatters (8-4). This will mark their first road game. Earlier this season, Stetson upset No. 4 Florida in a midweek contest.
First pitch Tuesday will be at 6:35 p.m. and feature radio only on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network. Wednesday's contest against Stetson will start at 6:30 p.m. and be streamed on SECN+ and available on the Georgia Bulldog Sports Network.
Series History: Georgia leads the series with the Eagles 62-54-1. Last year, Georgia won two out of three, posting a 17-11 decision at SRP Park and a 9-4 victory in Statesboro.

Pitching Matchups: Sophomore LHP Jarvis Evans (1-0, 1.80 ERA) is slated to start Tuesday versus Ga. Southern. It will mark the fifth career start for the 6-4, 216-pound native of Buford. In the early going, the Bulldogs took a staff approach, however Evans went five innings last Tuesday against Presbyterian, allowing two runs on two hits with six strikeouts. He did not factor in the decision. The Eagles will counter with senior RHP Cameron Oliu (0-0, 6.00 ERA). Wednesday's probable starters have not been announced. On deck, Georgia has a four-game series with Northern Colorado starting Friday in Athens.
Offensive Firepower: Georgia boasts an NCAA-leading 30 home runs and .672 slugging percentage plus is seventh in on base percentage at .466.

On Monday, Condon was named the Dick Howser Trophy National Player of the Month for February, it was announced by the NCBWA. Currently, Condon is batting .568-8-15. He ranks third in batting average and second in slugging percentage (1.273). *Georgia has won big (three run-rule games) while its only loss was a run-rule game. The Bulldogs have rallied twice in the ninth for comeback victories with four total Walk-Offs counting run-rule games. This past Sunday at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, Georgia trailed Ga. Tech 9-3 going to the 7th and 9-8 in the 9th. They rallied for an 11-9 series-clinching win in front of a crowd of 8,163.
