The King Koil Queen at 16" is the reasonable middle-ground pick at $139.95 for a buyer with no strong height preference: it sits directly between the other two on both height and price. Using Queen as the worked example, every step up in height costs exactly ten dollars more: 13" is $129.95, 16" is $139.95, and 20" is $149.95 — the compare-at prices step the same way, ten dollars apart, each twenty dollars above its own sale price. Not every size carries all three heights: Kids is sold at 13" only, for $79.95, while Twin follows the identical ten-dollar-per-step pattern one size down, at $99.95, $109.95, and $119.95. This is a King Koil–only comparison, not a cross-brand height shootout.
The honest shape of this answer first: King Koil is the only brand in this catalog, so '13 vs 16 vs 20' is a comparison of one maker's own height options, not a verdict against other air-mattress brands. Inflated height is also the one number here that is purely physical — it says nothing this site can confirm about comfort, firmness, leak resistance, or durability, since none of these mattresses have been tested.
Queen is the cleanest worked example because it offers all three heights: 13" at $129.95 (compare-at $149.95), 16" at $139.95 (compare-at $159.95), and 20" at $149.95 (compare-at $169.95). Each step up costs exactly ten dollars more, on both the sale price and the compare-at price, and every one of the three heights carries the same flat twenty-dollar discount off its own compare-at figure — so the percentage saved is largest on the cheapest height and smallest on the tallest, even though the dollar saving never changes. Twin shows the identical pattern one size down: $99.95, $109.95, and $119.95 at 13", 16", and 20" respectively, again ten dollars apart at every step.
Not every size in this lineup carries all three heights the way Queen and Twin do. Kids is sold at 13" only, for $79.95 (compare-at $99.95) — there is no 16" or 20" Kids variant to step up to. Color choice can narrow at 13" as well: on Full and California King, the 13" height comes in Black only, where their 16" and 20" heights add Beige and Blue; Queen and Twin's 13" comes in Beige or Black, with Blue reserved for their taller two heights. Kids, since 13" is its only height, offers both of its colors — Black and Blue — at that one height.
Weight is where this comparison hits a real data limit: King Koil's product feed records shipping weight for only one variant per product, not for all three heights, and prices throughout this comparison are the merchant's sale prices recorded on 2026-09-07 and can change. Queen's recorded weight is 7970 g (17.6 lb) at 16"; Twin's is 5897 g (13.0 lb), also at 16"; Kids' is 5443 g (12.0 lb) at 13", its only height. Shipping speed (2-3 business days), returns (30 days), warranty (1 year), and the pump (120V/210W) stay the same across every height and size, per the merchant — only recorded weight and price actually move.
Who this is NOT for: anyone who wants a same-size, same-height weight comparison across all three heights — the merchant's own data does not go that granular, and this site is not going to interpolate a number nobody recorded. It is also not for a Kids-size buyer looking for a taller option; 13" is the only height King Koil sells at that size, full stop. And it is not for anyone treating a taller air mattress as a comfort, firmness, leak-resistance, or durability upgrade — height is a floor-clearance and price number here, not a claim about how any of these mattresses actually performs.
