Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Reviews and Ratings -- Based on Data From 364 Actual Owners
Page last updated Jan 14, 2010
What You Need To Know
61% of Simmons Beautyrest owners included in our research say that the mattress is comfortable.
Like virtually all innerspring beds included in our research, the Beautyrest's long-term comfort rating and durability tend to be substantially lower than those of memory foam, air, water, and latex mattresses.
Owner data overall suggests that paying for a higher priced Beautyrest model does not tend to result in noticeably increased satisfaction. However, personal preference may require that a more expensive model be bought.
The Simmons is usually somewhat higher priced than its main competition, Serta and Sealy. This is likely mainly due to its pocket coil design which effectively minimizes motion transfer. (See innerspring mattress prices and specifications).

Simmons Beautyrest Problems / Complaints
| Uncomfortable | 127 owners |
| Premature sagging | 70+ owners |
| Causes pain | 21 owners |
| Too firm | 11 owners |
| Sleeps hot | 6 owners |
Glossary
Uncomfortable
Premature sagging tends to be the main cause of discomfort, followed by too much firmness.
Premature sagging
Premature sagging is sagging / development of body impressions which occurs within three years and undermines comfort. Firm Beautyrest models (models without a pillow top or substantial padding) generally have fewer sagging complaints. But even firm models can prematurely sag. In addition, owner data suggests that Beautyrests with a layer of latex may have a higher likelihood of sagging than other models.
Causes pain
This mainly refers to pain from pressure points. Firmer models generally have more complaints on this issue than softer, pillow top types. However, owner data suggests that Beautyrests that are too soft or develop sagging can cause back pain.
Too firm
The clear majority of Beautyrest owners included in our research describe their mattress as firm (as opposed to soft), and some find it to be too firm. Pillow top models, not surprisingly, have the fewest complaints about firmness. In addition, owner data suggests that the presence of memory foam does not tend to result in increased softness.
Sleeps hot
This is a problem almost exclusively for models with memory foam, including and especially the Beautyrest NxG which is a memory foam / innerspring hybrid.
Simmons Beautyrest Positives / Praises
| Comfortable | 199 owners |
| Motion isolation | 29 owners |
| Less pain | 16 owners |
Glossary
Comfortable
Models without a pillow top or substantial padding generally have somewhat fewer sagging problems and therefore at least somewhat better long term comfort.
Motion isolation
This means that the mattress absorbs movement from one person so that the other person does not notice it. This is primarily due to Beautyrest's pocket coils and secondarily to the presence of memory foam and / or latex. Owner data suggests that motion isolation is a clear advantage that the Beautyrest has over much of its competition.
Less pain
Less pain mainly refers to reduced back, hip and shoulder pain. Models that have memory foam and / or latex either in pillow top or non-pillow top form tend to perform well on this issue. The Beautyrest NxG, which is a memory foam / innerspring hybrid, likely does better on this issue than any other Beautyrest model.
