Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Review 2020

What if you can combine cutting-edge with durable? Newcomers in the mattress industry, specifically bed-in-a-box companies, can compete in terms of technology. But not all are able to build long-lasting products just yet. On the other hand, durability in design is a `hallmark of household names. But some are struggling to keep up on the innovation end.

Balancing both qualities is a rare feat. And Simmons, with Beautyrest Mattress as its flagship line, is one of the unique manufacturers to achieve this. Since its inception in 1900, this mattress company has been leading where others have chosen to follow. Here’s a quick rundown of its milestones:

• Engineering wrapped coil spring using the Simmons Pocketed Coil spring machine.
• Birth of Beautyrest Mattress in 1925.
• Introducing king and queen mattress sizes in the 1950s.
• Inventing hybrid technology, which fuses memory foam and innerspring in 2008.

So, what’s in store for you if you buy a Simmons Beautyrest mattress? We’re just as excited as you are to find out.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Review – Unbiased & Updated

Beautyrest Black

This collection not only provides you with aesthetically pleasing models. It delivers what it promises to do.

Construction & Materials

Available in all-foam and hybrid models, this line spells the height of luxury. The coil count is the highest among the series at around 1,850 (Queen). Its foam layers contain the BlackICE cooling technology. Hence, the name. And it features Advanced Pocketed Coils compared to the regular Pocketed Coils of the other lines.

This bed employs 4 ways to manage the temperature. And the T3 Pocketed Coil Technology, present in its K-Class, C-Class, and L-Class, features 3 steel strands wound in one coil. Support is strong and durability is delivered with this one. Also, the Technoluxe Memory Foams it uses are designed to alleviate pressure points in the hips and shoulders.

Firmness & Feel

Multiple firmness options are available. This sophisticated line is supportive of different preferences. Here’s a breakdown of the categories:

• K-Class: Ultra Plush Pillow Top, Firm Pillow Top, Medium
• C-Class: Medium Pillow Top, Plush Pillow Top, Medium, Plush
• L-Class: Medium Pillow Top, Plush Pillow Top, Medium, Plush, Extra Firm

The range on the standard Firmness Scale for these is 3.5 to 7.5.

Motion Transfer

Motion isolation is quite satisfactory, allowing people sharing beds to sleep peacefully. Little to no interruptions can be expected. The advanced coil system may be the one at work here. But this might be not the case in more plush models.

Edge Support & Sinkage

Good edge support enables you to use the edge for sleeping or sitting without worrying about premature sinkage. Beautyrest Black mattresses may have varying edge support performance, but overall, they’re do not disappoint. 

Cooling

Aside from BlackICE, the cooling components of this series include AirCool Memory Foam and DualCool Technology Memory Foam. DualCool has silver crystals while BlackICE has diamond crystals to help the bed promote cooling comfort effectively. The innerspring system naturally advances ventilation as well.

Pricing

Size and model affect pricing. But for a start, expect Beautyrest variants to have higher price points than the others. For example, a Katarina (Queen) Luxury Firm Pillow Top costs $2,599. You can go as high as $4,999 for Tatiana (Queen). Calista is the cheapest at $1,999.

Other Factors

Most models are available in retail stores. Some can be ordered online. You can avail of the 10-year limited warranty applicable to all Beautyrest mattresses. But shipping and sleep trials depend on the place you’re buying the bed from.

Beautyrest Platinum

This innerspring series balances temperature regulation and support for restorative sleep. It has 3 subcategories for you to explore and choose from.

Construction & Materials

The Beautyrest signature Pocketed Coil Technology is the core of this series. It has a coil count of 1,000. That’s a pretty sturdy base to provide users. And it works hand-in-hand with the foam layers and cooling components that can be found inside the designs of this line.

These cooling foam techniques are advanced by the GelTouch Foam, AirFeel Foam (which is open cell), InfiniCool Surface, and Beautyrest Gel Memory Foam. Aside from efforts to keep you from sleeping hot, the Platinum line adds 2,000 micro coils to ensure pressure relief and contouring cater to your body’s unique shape.

Firmness & Feel

Firmness levels of Platinum beds vary just like those of Black models. Here are the subcategories and their respective firmness options:

• Haven Pines: Luxury Firm Pillow Top, Plush Pillow Top, Extra Firm, Luxury Firm, and Plush
• Spring Grove:  Luxury Firm Pillow Top, Plush Pillow Top, Extra Firm, Luxury Firm, and Plush
• Jaycrest: Plush

Range of feels is from 4 to 7.5. It may feel too firm if you are lightweight or a non-back sleeper. But combo sleepers, stomach sleepers, and back sleepers should find medium-firm models pretty comfortable.

Motion Transfer

Minimal motion transfer is expected from this middle-zone mattress line. However, the bounce is good because of the innerspring system found inside it. Couples can alternate loving it for sex and settling for slightly uninterrupted sleep.

Edge Support & Sinkage

Edge support is okay across the Beautyrest Platinum line. Of course, the rule of thumb is that the thicker the coil system is, the better it performs in this regard.

Cooling

With all the cooling technologies applied in Platinum beds, they offer fair to good cooling performance. The Haven Pines line seems to have the best models for those who sleep hot.

Pricing

How much is a Beautyrest Platinum Mattress sold? Prices start at $1,499 and go up to $1,999 for a queen version. You can say this is the middle ground of Beautyrest in terms of price and performance.

Other Factors

Shipping and returns are subject to the terms of the retailer or the online marketplace from which you will buy the product. The same 10-year warranty applies to the models under this line.

Beautyrest Hybrid

The Hybrid series blends the strengths of Beautyrest’s Pocketed Coil Technology and advanced memory foams. The models in this line promise to offer the best sleep that will keep you more awake during the daytime.

Construction & Materials

Hybrid models in this series may have confusing names. BRX3000-IM, BRX1000-IP, and BRX1000-C may not be as catchy as the Black and Platinum names (doesn’t Tatiana sound badass?). But if you can get past that, you will be able to appreciate the 1,000 coil count of the Pocket Coil Technology in them. Its bed-in-a-box model is the exception for having 800 coils.

Plus, the list of advanced memory foams is just as long. There’s the RightTemp Memory Foam, which infuses carbon fiber to manage temperature while relieving pressure points. The InfiniCool MAX combines 2 surface layers with one RightTemp Memory Foam layer to wick heat away from the surface. And finally, you’ll find the adaptive ContourFit Design, which is an exclusive Beautyrest hybrid model feature.

Firmness & Feel

A variety of firmness levels is also part of the allure of the Beautyrest Hybrid line. Here are your choices:

• BRX3000-IM: Medium, Medium Firm, Ultra Plush, Firm
• BRX1000-IP: Extra Firm, Plush, Medium
• BRX1000-C: Plush
• Hybrid Mattress-In-A-Box: Medium

Motion Transfer

Minimal motion isolation is expected from the Hybrid line. While the innerspring system is advanced, it is not as effective as all-foam in reducing motion transfer. The springy feel, which is great for sex, may not be as still when you or your partner shifts in bed at night.

Edge Support & Sinkage

Edge support is fair to good across the Hybrid models, thanks to the Pocket Coil Technology found in them. This is not just music to the ears of those who want to use up all the surface area of their bed. It’s also relieving for those who are anxious about premature sagging that comes from active perimeter use.

Cooling

Hybrids have a more cooling impact than their all-foam counterparts because the coil system enhances ventilation. Plus, the layers used here are advanced enough to wick heat away from your body.

Pricing

Dreaming of a Hybrid slumber? It can be more expensive than all-foam or innerspring. There are no published prices of the models in this series. But it’s safe to assume their queen versions retail at under $2,000 to under $4,000.

Other Factors

Shipping, returns, financing, and other terms can be clarified with the retailer–online or offline–where you will get your Beautyrest bed. The 10-year limited warranty applies.

Beautyrest Silver

Still combining the best of both worlds–memory foam and pocket coils–but created for people on a budget in mind. See what makes the Silver series stand out below.

Construction & Materials

Resilience is key in the creation of the Beautyrest Silver mattresses. They are meant to last long, providing a consistent sleep quality through the years. To make this happen, the design employs layers of DualCool Plus, Dynamic Response Memory Foam, Gel Memory Foam Lumbar Support, and the 900 Series Pocketed Coil Technology. The 900 coil count is still a tough player as far as innerspring systems go.

DualCool is in charge of keeping heat away from your body while also unleashing some antimicrobial power. Conforming is enhanced by Dynamic Response Memory Foam (BRS900-C). Gel-infused memory foam (BRS-900) targeting the lumbar section offers deep support and relief where your body produces a lot of pressure.

Firmness & Feel

We should be writing to Beautyrest because the names just keep getting more generic. However, the BRS900-C and BRS-900 are worth considering if you want to explore firmness options:

• BRS900-C: Plush Pillow Top, Medium Pillow Top, Plush, Medium, Extra Firm
• BRS900: Plush Pillow Top, Medium Pillow Top, Medium Euro Top, Plush, Medium, Extra Firm, Medium Firm

This one may have 2 subcategories, but the firmness levels vary a lot. We love that there is a chance to go medium to medium-firm, both of which are deemed universally comfortable. Those who find Simmons Beautyrest mattress models to the firm may change their mind if they come across these Silver ones.

Motion Transfer

Like their hybrid cousins, the Silver line models are not great at isolating motion. Motion transfer is still present, although it is not really as bad as others.

Edge Support & Sinkage

The pocketed coils at the base add strength and stability to the perimeter of Silver variants. This does help in keeping your bed from sinking badly as it ages.

Cooling

Again, the coils save the day when it comes to sleeping cool. The beds under this category are a bit better than the all-foams of some online mattress brands.

Pricing

The Silver Hybrid Mattress line starts at $1,499 and goes as high as $2,099. This pretty much falls within the average price point for hybrids on the market.

Other Factors

Beautyrest sells its beds through retailers, including Amazon. Make sure to ask/read about the shipping, return, and financing policies of the store you’re purchasing a mattress from. You may even snag a great deal online. More or less, they should honor the 10-year limited warranty available to all Simmons Beautyrest Mattress owners.

Beautyrest

This is where it all started. The mattress line that introduced the Beautyrest Pocketed Coil spring technology is the signature brand of Simmons. It’s great at conforming to the unique shape of your body. Plus, it has some other surprises you should hear about.

Construction & Materials

Looking sleek and straightforward, this is the mattress that started it all. It sports the 800 Series Beautyrest Pocketed Coil Technology. It’s a supportive system of 800 individually wrapped coils. Then, it features DualCool Technology and Gel Memory Foam Lumbar Support. This may be the most basic Beautyrest design. But it has all the goods.

DualCool, of course, keeps the mattress and sleeper fresh and cool. It also dishes out some microbe-fighting formula. For deep compression at your lumbar area, the second layer of gel-infused memory foam targets your body where it matters. By the way, all of the materials are certified by CertiPUR-US–everything under the Beautyrest brand–so you can rest assured you’re snoozing on a safe space.

Firmness & Feel

There is only one subcategory available under this line. But the firmness options you’re familiar with now are present. You may have gotten the hang of the naming convention as well (we hope; anyway, BR stands for Beautyrest, in case you missed that one):

• BR800: Plush Pillow Top, Medium Pillow Top, Plush Euro Top, Firm, Medium

Medium accommodates the preferences of the “not too firm, not too soft” crowd.

Motion Transfer

There is slight motion transfer here. But just as the other hybrids mentioned here are rated, they work just right. Very light sleepers may think of a compromise as the springy feel is really good for amorous activities.

Edge Support & Sinkage

Edge support is satisfactory as you would expect from hybrids. The pocket coils are reliable performers when it comes to making the perimeter strong and stable against daily wear.

Cooling

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress lines and models are known for sleeping relatively cool. This one does not fall far away from this expectation.

Pricing

Great news for those who want this brand but cannot afford what the tag says. This entry-level line starts at around $600, and that’s already for a queen version.

Other Factors

The terms for shipping, returns, financing, and the like are dependent on the store where you’re getting the bed from. They should honor the 10-year limited warranty associated with Beautyrest mattresses as a rule.

Why You Should Buy A Simmons Beautyrest Mattress

A wide range of sleepers is accommodated by the multiple firmness settings of the Beautyrest models. So whether you’re a back, side, stomach, or combo sleeper, you can find one that suits your needs and preferences. Even if you’re a bit light or heavy, you can pick from the softest or firmest version from the line you like.

If edge support is a big deal for you, you can sleep confidently on any of the beds here without getting anxious about the perimeter. Enjoy a wider sleep surface and no premature sagging for years. Couple this with the cooling effects of most models, and you’ll have a comfortable sleep.

Are you a couple? We are pleased to report that the hybrid and innerspring versions are highly responsive. Take advantage of the bouncy feel of the Pocketed Coil spring technology during hot, passionate nights. While the mattresses are responsive, they also recover fast.

Lastly, this mattress brand is worth checking out if you want to test out your mattress in a physical location. There are hundreds of retailers offering the Black, Platinum, Hybrid, Silver, and Beautyrest lines. You won’t run out of chances to find the one that feels just right.

Why You Should Buy A Simmons Beautyrest Mattress

What could set you back is the price point of each of the Beautyrest Mattress line, except for the Silver and Beautyrest series. You may be eligible for financing, which is great. But if you want/need to pay cash up front, the models may be too expensive for your pocket.

Do you share your bed with a partner, a sibling, or a pet? On top of that, are you a light sleeper? This may really bum you out, but the motion isolation of the Beautyrest Mattress brand is not exceptional. It does not reduce motion transfer like the internet’s most popular all-foam brands.

Hate stinky smells in your bedroom? The beds of Beautyrest may release some off-gassing odors during the first few days. Depending on the ventilation of your space, this episode may occur shorter or longer. We wouldn’t recommend buying one if you’re allergic to such smells or suffering from any respiratory condition.

Lastly, if Beautyrest could elaborate on the layers found inside their lines and models, we would be happy campers on their side. Providing more information about the products can only boost its reputation. Unless, of course, they have some details they’d rather keep from the public. Nevertheless, we would want full disclosure of the materials used. You probably want the same, too.
