Our Selection of
National Mattress
Brands
At Sleep King, we carry the largest selection of high-quality national brand mattresses in Memphis.
Sleep King MLILY Mattresses
Often considered the best mattress brand in the world, innovation sets MLILY mattresses apart from others. Our customers love MLILY mattresses because they are expertly built through decades of research and rigorous testing. The folks at MLILY are committed to precision, meaning every detail of product detail they push is geared towards the ultimate satisfaction and comfort.
Sleep Restonic Mattresses
Restonic Mattresses: Restonic line of mattresses are multi-layered beds with cooling foam technology that adds resilience, support, and temperature control. The result is a cool, comfy sleep that leaves you refreshed and ready to attack the day.
Sleep King Comfort Sleep Mattresses
Every mattress in the Comfort Sleep lineup has a great combo of support and comfort, making for a restful night's sleep. 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 Memphis.
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 Memphis, TN. 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 Memphis 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.

When does NBA Training Camp start? Key dates Grizzlies fans need to know

This week marks the official kickoff to the NFL regular season though, to pureblooded basketball fans, it just means they’re that much closer to the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. As of this writing, it has been nearly three months since meaningful NBA action has taken place, while Memphis Grizzlies fans are now inching toward five months of dormancy.
Luckily, Grind City’s faithful followers have already been gifted the knowledge of when they can expect to see their beloved franchise take to the hardwood once more, with an official season tip-off slated to take place on October 25 in a home game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Of course, before they get to their opener, the Grizzlies will need to partake in preseason shenanigans, including, but not limited to, training camp, preliminary play, etc.
When does training camp start?
For the Grizzlies, training camps are expected to open a bit later than some other clubs, as the official start technically is scheduled for September 27 for teams participating in a preseason game outside of the United States.
Memphis will be holding all of its contests in the homeland, thus making their start date October 3. However, veteran players will be allowed to report to their respective teams a day earlier on October 2.
When is Media Day for the Grizzlies?
As of this writing, no official date has been announced for Grizzlies Media Day. That said, one can likely infer that it will come right before the start of their October 3 training camp opening, for last season Media Day was held literally the day prior on September 27.
Grizzlies preseason schedule
Thursday, October 5 is the official start to the 2023 NBA preseason. The Grizzlies will not be taking part in the festivities until October 8, when they’ll play host to the Indiana Pacers.
A full breakdown of their preseason schedule reads as follows:
When does the Grizzlies roster have to be set for the 2023-24 season?
Memphis may seemingly have the majority of their rotational foundation set in stone, but considering they currently have 17 people attached to contracts heading into the 2023-24 season the club’s decision-makers will need to make some proper adjustments to cut this number down to the required max of 15.
The deadline for them to do so is currently set for Monday, October 23 at 5 p.m. ET.

As Labor Day signified the unofficial end to summer, it’s now time to start getting excited for holiday festivities. The newly appointed trustee of Lisa Marie Presley’s estate, Riley Keough, has announced her plans to produce an NBC special Christmas at Graceland. The special will arrive on November 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, per Billboard.
According to the outlet, the special will feature a host of “music’s biggest stars” coming together to herald Elvis Presley’s legacy and, of course, his Christmas classics.
“My family and I are elated to open the doors to Graceland in this first-of-its-kind special,” Keough told Billboard. “With intimate musical performances drawing inspiration from my grandfather Elvis’s cherished Christmases in Memphis, viewers will be invited to experience firsthand the magic that is Christmas at Graceland.”
[RELATED: Elvis Presley Enterprises Bans The King’s Music from ‘Priscilla’]
“To celebrate the holidays at Graceland, and be a part of the King’s legacy, is both an honor and absolute dream come true,” Jen Neal, executive vice president of live events and specials at NBCUniversal Media Group, added. “We thank Riley and her family for allowing all of us to visit her grandfather’s iconic home and share an intimate musical experience that Elvis would’ve truly loved.”
The official lineup of Christmas at Graceland will be announced at a later date. The organizers also didn’t confirm which Elvis songs the artists would be taking on, but The King has a number of Christmas classics that could make the cut–namely “Blue Christmas,” and “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane).”
Keough acquired Lisa Marie’s estate following her mother’s death in January. The decision was made after a back-and-forth with her grandmother, Priscilla Presley. While Keough became the solitary trustee, Priscilla received a settlement to withdraw all petitions regarding her late daughter’s will.
Keough’s trustee status comes as she has garnered runaway success with her limited series Daisy Jones & The Six. Revisit our conversation with Keough about the series, HERE.

NBC's 'Christmas at Graceland' to honor Elvis: What we know about the live music special

Some 55 years after Elvis rocked NBC with the now legendary "'68 Comeback Special," the network is back in the Presley business with "Christmas at Graceland," an hourlong live special from Elvis' Memphis mansion that will air at 9 p.m. Nov. 29.
The special, which will be simulcast on NBC and the Peacock streaming service, will showcase "music's biggest stars," according to a Thursday press release from NBCUniversal. Who the stars might be remains a mystery, but the roster could be impressive because the special's executive producer is Graceland heir and Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough, who is much respected in the entertainment industry.
The daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley, Keough, 34, is an actor and director. She received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress for her role in the streaming series "Daisy Jones & the Six," and she has acted in acclaimed and provocative films under the direction of such international auteurs as Australia's George Miller, England's Andrea Arnold and Denmark's Lars von Trier.
According to the press release, "'Christmas at Graceland' is the first live musical televised holiday special of its kind at the estate."
CONVERSATIONS ON ELVIS:Lee Majors, Linda Thompson, more share memories of the King
The special, the press release continues, "will feature music’s biggest stars celebrating the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, his music and his favorite time of year, in an unprecedented holiday special live from his iconic home, Graceland. Participating performers will be announced at a later date."
“My family and I are elated to open the doors to Graceland in this first-of-its-kind special,” said Keough, in a statement that marked one of her first "official" proclamations since she became sole trustee of her mother's estate, which includes the Graceland mansion. “With intimate musical performances drawing inspiration from my grandfather Elvis’s cherished Christmases in Memphis, viewers will be invited to experience firsthand the magic that is Christmas at Graceland.”
Added Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Media Group, in another statement: “We thank Riley and her family for allowing all of us to visit her grandfather’s iconic home and share an intimate musical experience that Elvis would’ve truly loved.”
“Christmas at Graceland” will air after NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center," an annual presentation.
The new Graceland special is likely to contain references to Elvis' previous NBC holiday-season show, "Singer Presents... Elvis," which has become known as the "'68 Comeback Special" in the decades since its broadcast debut on Dec. 3, 1968.
ELVIS WEEK:Thousands of fans honor the King and Lisa Marie Presley at Candlelight Vigil
A ratings blockbuster that has been credited with inspiring Elvis to recommit to live performance and quality studio recordings after years of cookie-cutter Hollywood work, the Christmas themes of the "'68 Comeback Special" were explored to tragic/comic effect in Baz Luhrmann's recent biopic, "Elvis." The special also inspired a new documentary about its origins, production and impact, "Reinventing Elvis: The '68 Comeback," now available on the Paramount+ streaming service.
The new NBC special also may revive memories of other recent attempts to link Elvis and Graceland onscreen, namely, "Christmas at Graceland" (2018), and its sequel, "Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays" (2019), each one produced in Memphis by the Hallmark Channel.
