The Simmons Beautyrest product line features several different mattress models. These include the Classic, Anniversary, World Class, Exceptionale, NxG, and Black. Most are available in size from twin to king and vary widely with respect to price. Mattress comfort/support levels for the different models generally range from firm to plush to pillow top.
Classic
The Classic is the most affordable of the Beautyrest mattresses and like all Beautyrests it features the patented Beautyrest Super Pocketed Coil springs. These springs are individually encased in material and since the springs are not attached to one another, there is motion separation between one sleeper and the other. The coil count for the Classic is 800 based on a queen size mattress. Certain models of the classic also include memory foam.
Anniversary
The Beautyrest Anniversary has a coil count of 850 and comes with an energy foam support base. Edge support is provided by Simmons Surround Beauty-Edge foam and, like the Classic, certain models of the Anniversary also include memory foam.
World Class
The Simmons Beautyrest World Class has an increased coil count of 1000 and like the Anniversary it uses Simmons Surround Beauty-Edge foam for edge support. Select World Class mattresses come with NxG Memory Foam and Progressive Support Latex. Foam quilting also increases the comfort of the mattress.
Exceptionale
The Exceptionale features two stories of coils yielding an impressive coil count of 1960 (980 coils per story). Edge support is provided by 3 inches of high density foam, and support and comfort are enhanced by levels of visco-memory foam and latex foam. The Exceptionale is also made more comfortable with the addition of stretch knit fabrics blended together with yarns.
NxG
The NxG has a coil count of 1000 and it uses advanced memory foam that, according to Simmons, increases heat dissipation and provides quicker recovery. Like the Anniversary and the World Class, the NxG uses Surround Beauty-Edge foam for edge support. It also has an energy foam base and uses other high performance foams for comfort and support.
Black
The Beautyrest Black mattress is the top-end of the Beautyrests. Within the Black mattress stable there are three different firm mattresses, three different plush mattresses, and four different pillow-top mattresses. They are all covered by a 20 year limited warranty. The Black uses high-end fabrics like cashmere and modal yarns and it also has slightly different coils (Variform Advanced Pocketed Coils) that are described by Simmons as triple woven pocketed coil springs that are interspersed with softer or firmer regular Beautyrest Pocketed Coil springs. This approach is said to increase mattress strength and conformability.
All of the Beautyrest mattresses have a "no flip" design, meaning that the mattress has a single sleeping surface and it is not required to flip the mattress. Most are also available in a range of sizes from twin to king and have several comfort options including firm, luxury firm, plush, plush/firm and pillow top.
About Consumer Mattress Reviews
Reviews for mattresses can be a bit tricky, as they usually revolve around comfort, a decidedly subjective term. But when many consumer reviews indicate that a make or model is extremely comfortable, "like sleeping on a cloud", it probably is. By the same token, when a significant number complain about the same specific feature or characteristic, consider it a red flag.
Negative mattress comments often revolve around how a mattress holds up over time, alluding to mattress sagging or permanent impressions. Also, poor customer service frequently gets written up. Positive reviews commonly relate to mattress comfort and durability. One thing to consider when reading reviews and ratings is that folks may be quicker to complain than to praise, and this can lead to a negative bias.
Simmons Beautyrest Pros and Cons
Consumer reviews of the Simmons Beautyrest mattresses are something of a mixed bag. Most reviewers find the mattresses extremely comfortable but more than a few comment on the fact that in a seemingly short period of time some models begin to exhibit depressions, sometimes deep. A few owners have also complained that their Beautyrest mattress began to feel lumpy after a while. While the warranties on these mattresses are between 10 and 20 years, and Simmons and its retailers for the most part appear to provide respectable customer service, a few consumers expressed displeasure with claims. Some owners had placed claims for a new mattress due to depressions in the mattress, only to have them denied on the grounds that depressions and sagging were to be expected with the passage of time.
Still, the majority of consumers seem pleased with their choice of mattress, indicating satisfaction with the overall comfort and support the mattresses provide. Most consumers are also happy with the individually wrapped coil system technology which does a very good job of keeping the movement of one person from disturbing the sleep of another. A number also comment favorably on the price, indicating they feel Simmons Beautyrest mattresses provide good value for the money.
Pricing
Since the Simmons Beautyrest line features many different mattress models, a wide range of prices is to be expected. Prices range from five or six hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, although some experts suggest that one not need spend more than about eight hundred dollars for a good quality mattress.
