Capitol Bedding Grand Haven Pillowtop

A practical pillowtop with a friendly price point

The Grand Haven Pillowtop is a straightforward, approachable Capitol model. It gives shoppers the cushioned feel of a pillowtop without pushing them into the highest-priced plush beds on the floor.

This is a good “everyday pillowtop” mattress. It feels softer and more dressed-up than a basic tight top, but it is not trying to be the most luxurious mattress in the store.

Comfort and feel

The Grand Haven has a medium-plush pillowtop feel. It has enough cushion to feel welcoming, but it does not have the deep, dramatic softness of the Copper Harbor or Superior Mornings.

That makes it useful for people who want a comfortable first impression without going too far into soft-bed territory.

Best for

• Side sleepers
• Combination sleepers
• Guest rooms
• Value-minded adult bedrooms
• Shoppers who want pillowtop comfort without overspending
• Customers who want a Michigan-made mattress at a fair price

Construction highlights

• V-gusset pillowtop design
• Gel foam comfort layer
• Multiple polyurethane foam layers
• Convoluted foam transition layer
• High-density base foam
• Handcrafted in Grand Ledge, Michigan
• Adjustable-base compatible

Support system

The Grand Haven uses a Bolsa encapsulated coil unit. The coil system gives the mattress a familiar sense of lift while allowing the pillowtop to do its job at the surface.

The wrapped-coil design also helps reduce the springy “whole bed moves at once” feeling of older connected-coil mattresses.

Important details

• Medium-plush pillowtop feel
• Practical step up from basic value beds
• Michigan-made
• Good everyday comfort choice
• Not overly tall or overly soft
• Strong value within the Capitol lineup

Our take

The Grand Haven works because it is not trying too hard. It gives customers what many of them came in for: a comfortable pillowtop, a fair price, and a local build story that is easy to explain.

The Capitol Bedding Difference

For more than 50 years, Capitol Bedding has been crafting high-quality mattresses with a clear focus: durable, comfortable sleep that stands the test of time. Long before “no-flip” mattresses became the norm, Capitol committed to building one-sided designs using truly premium materials—especially high-density foams engineered to keep their feel and support for years, not just months.

That commitment led to the use of foams like P2536 (2.5 lb density, 36 ILD), P2560 (2.5 lb, 60 ILD), and P2426 (2.4 lb, 26 ILD), each chosen for a specific role in comfort and support. Instead of relying on the 1.0–1.5 lb foams commonly found in many mass-market mattresses, Capitol builds with 1.8 lb, 2.4 lb, and 2.5 lb foams that are designed to break down far more slowly and maintain their original feel much longer.

Key Benefits of Capitol’s High-Density Foam

• High-Density Foam = Longer Life
  Higher-density foams hold their shape and support significantly better over time than standard low-density foams, helping the mattress feel “new” for more years.

• Purpose-Built Foam Types

  • P2536 (2.5 lb, 36 ILD): Focused on durability and everyday support.

  • P2560 (2.5 lb, 60 ILD): Firmer, more supportive feel for heavier use and stronger lumbar support.

  • P2426 (2.4 lb, 26 ILD): Softer, more cushioning comfort where pressure relief is needed.

• Proven Firmness Retention
  Over a 10-year span, Capitol’s typical foam choices retain firmness far better than commodity foams:

  • 2.5 lb foam: about 8% firmness loss

  • 2.4 lb foam: about 9% firmness loss

  • 1.8 lb foam: about 20% firmness loss
    Compare that to lower-density foams often used elsewhere:

  • 1.2 lb foam: about 38% firmness loss

  • 1.0 lb foam: about 42% firmness loss

• Premium, U.S.-Made Materials
  Capitol sources its foams from Future Foam, a leading family-owned U.S. producer of Flexible Polyurethane Foams (FPF), chosen for consistent quality, performance, and longevity.

While these premium materials cost more to build with, Capitol Bedding believes that better foam makes better mattresses—and better mattresses make for better sleep. The result is a line of products designed to feel supportive and comfortable for years, not just in the showroom, giving you a bed that truly earns its place in your home.
