Beautyrest mattress is a combination of pocketed coils and foam. The pocketed coils comprise the main center layer of this mattress, where there are hundreds of individually wrapped springs. These are designed to adjust independently to the weight and contour of the sleeper to provide conforming back support as well as help with motion separation for those sharing a bed with a mover.

In addition to the coils, the bed also has a layer of GelTouch Foams which also assist in providing pressure relief, and AirCool Foams, designed to promote airflow through the mattress. There is also an AirCool mesh border fabric for even greater breathability.

The base of the mattress is comprised of Energy Foam, which is a stable support that doesn’t require flipping. The foundation of the bed is further supported with PowerBeam bracing to provide greater overall strength to the mattress.

Some customers found that all the combined support made the mattress a little too firm, and ended up pairing a foam mattress topper over the mattress. Others also felt that the center was very firm, but the sides were softer. Most users agreed that the bed holds up over time, not losing firmness or contour with use. This is the best mattress for firmness and longevity.

Most customers found that the mattress shipped promptly without issues, but a few did find that the shipping took longer than expected.

Pros:
• Box spring is included with the purchase and adds an even support for the bed to rest on
• Holds firmness over time
• Provides support for joints and limits movements

Cons:
• The middle and edges of the mattress are not the same level of firmness
• Level of firmness is more than medium firm
• Unreliable shipping time

When ordering, the customer can choose between having a soft, firm, or medium firm mattress.

There are three different layers to the mattress and the firmness is adjustable depending on the density of the Latex.

The mattress is comprised of an 8-inch-high density convoluted base foam that is designed to increase air flow and conformability.

Above that is 3 inches of Talalay Latex foam which contours to the body. For those with allergies, this latex is also hypoallergenic.

There is also a 1.5-inch layer of soft reflex foam in the quilted bamboo cover, which contains 100% biodegradable bamboo fibers for those who worry what becomes of the mattress once it has reached the end of its lifespan.

The mattress comes in a long, tube-like cardboard box and is shrunk down and packaged in an air tight wrapping.

After unwrapping, it expands out to the normal size very quickly, but if the mattress doesn’t work out, it is difficult to repack it for returning.

Some customers did find that the packaging made it awkward to maneuver upstairs and found that it took at least two people to successfully do so.

Customers liked the fact that the top layer with adjustable firmness was returnable and found the customer support to be helpful and informative.

Many users found that the latex mattress did not sag over time with use, remaining firm without additional bracing and those with back pain found that the medium firmness provided adequate support.

Because the layers are latex, the mattress also didn’t become softer in the heat or harder in cooler temperatures.

This is the best mattress for those experiencing back pain that are looking for a customizable and consistent mattress.

Pros:
• The firmness level is tailored to the customer’s preferences upon ordering
• Mattress remains firm after use, does not sag and is consistently firm in varying temperatures
• The Talalay latex used is hypoallergenic
• Returnable for different firmness level

Cons:
• Awkward packaging makes it more difficult to move independently and up stairs
• The zipper cover that the mattress is in cannot be washed or dry-cleaned

The mattress comes in a plastic bag which users cut off to let the mattress breathe and expand. Customers did find that there was a strong, unpleasant scent to the mattress, but that it dissipated within three days at the most, sometimes sooner.

Some users did find that because of the give of a memory foam, it was beneficial to use slatted wood frame that provided extra support to keep the bed from sinking in the middle, but most found this to be an easy and relatively cheap fix, especially given the value of the mattress overall.

• Affordable price point

Cons:
• Strong chemical odor that can take up to three days to fully dissipate.
• Added slats to evenly distribute the weight of the mattress could be necessary

Other uses that were larger did not experience the same issues, but certain pressure points may need an added support source.

Some users who are side-sleepers found that it was not comfortable sleeping sideways due to the pressure put on the shoulders and hips.

The chemical scent that accompanies new mattresses didn’t dissipate for a few days to a few weeks for many of the customers, but did eventually fade away.

• Medium-firm mattress is a happy medium to support joints

As with other memory foam mattresses, there was a distinct smell to the mattress that lingered for a small amount of time. Airing out the room and letting the sun hit the mattress helps a lot.

Other customers found that the mattress was firmer in the beginning and softened over time as it broke in.

A few people found that it became too soft and felt sunken after continued use, but most found that the foam adjusted well during a breaking in period and remained comfortable.
