FirmNest Plus King Mattress
About this mattress
A New Zealand standard king at 167cm x 203cm, the LivingTopia FirmNest Plus King Mattress is sized for a king base. Comfort layers, top down: an anti-pill knitted face over 3cm of high-density foam — no wave cut and no memory layer at this tier. The support beneath them is a 20cm spring layer in 1.8mm wire, reinforced at the border by three rows of 1.9mm wire, and the surface reads Medium Firm, 4 out of 10 where 10 is softest. It is covered in anti-pill knitted fabric; the cover holds OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and the foams hold CertiPUR-US®. Finished with a tight top, it measures 23cm thick and 33.1kg on the scales. The mattress ships in a 28cm x 28cm x 177cm carton, which turns 167cm of mattress into a carton rather than a slab, and unrolled on the base it is typically at full height within 72 hours.
Who this mattress suits
- A couple who share the bed with a child or a dog on some nights, on a 23 cm build.
- Sleepers who move about and want the extra width to take it, on a Medium Firm surface.
- Rooms where king bedding is already in the cupboard and the base is staying, but the 23 cm mattress on it is not.
Why choose the FirmNest Plus
The load is carried by 20 cm pocket springs, plus three rows of thicker 1.9 mm wire running right round the edge. At 167 cm there is more unit to work with, so one person turning over compresses a section of springs rather than the full width of the 23 cm build.
The feel of the surface comes from a single 3 cm layer of high-density foam beneath an anti-pill knit; one dense layer rather than a stack keeps the surface even. A king gives each sleeper more room, so the comfort layers are less likely to be loaded in the same spot twice at 4 out of 10.
It helps to know the ladder before choosing: 5 for Classic, 4 for Plus, 3 for Pro and 2 for Prime, measured with 10 as softest. A Plus king trades a point of softness for 4 cm of height and an edge rail the Classic king does not have; step up to the Pro king and you get zoning plus gel memory foam instead. At 167 cm wide there is room for two different sleeping styles but only one firmness, and here that is 4 out of 10.
Turning over compresses the springs directly under you rather than lifting the whole surface. King fitted sheets in the standard New Zealand depth will clear the 23 cm sidewall on a 167 cm base, and a head-to-foot rotation every few months evens out the wear.

Firmness is felt, not measured. Body shape, weight and sleeping position all change how the same surface reads, so use this level to compare our mattresses with each other rather than as a promise of how it will feel to you.

Sheets first. Standard-depth king sheets are the right buy for a 23 cm mattress. The mattress ships rolled inside a 28 cm x 28 cm x 177 cm carton, which is the practical answer to moving a king past a tight landing. Unrolled, it is typically at full height within 72 hours.

Frequently asked questions
How firm is the FirmNest Plus King?
Medium Firm, 4 out of 10 where 10 is softest. Across a king the rating is the same everywhere; how it feels still depends on the sleeper.
How does the FirmNest Plus compare with the Classic and the Pro?
The Plus is 4 out of 10. The Classic below it is 5 out of 10 and so slightly softer, 19 cm rather than 23 cm tall, and has no reinforced perimeter. The Pro above it is 3 out of 10, 26 cm tall, and adds three-zone springs and a 1 cm gel memory foam layer. All numbers are on a scale where 10 is softest. At king size the price step between tiers is larger, so it is worth being sure of the number.
What does the reinforced edge do?
Three extra rows of thicker 1.9 mm wire run right around the perimeter of the 20 cm spring unit. The edge keeps more of its shape when you sit on it to put shoes on, and more of the width stays usable for sleeping. On a 167 cm king the long sides are where people sit down to dress.
What certification does this mattress have?
The cover is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and the foams are CertiPUR-US® certified. Certificate numbers are available from our team on request.
What sheets do I need for this mattress?
At 23 cm this stays inside the range a standard king fitted sheet is cut for. King sheets are common enough, but confirm the wall depth covers 23 cm before you buy a set.
Will I feel my partner getting up?
Less than you would on a linked-coil mattress. Individually pocketed springs keep more of the movement where it happens, and 167 cm of width means the two of you are further apart than on a queen.
