Stavros doesn't live up to billing

Value:

Pros: pretty comfortable when only one person is in the bed.

Cons: All listed above in the review. Not made for two people to sleep comfortably!

We have had this mattress for 1 year and have already filed warranty claims on our daughter's full and our queen. Both already have body impressions of 1" in just one year (is that normal, especially for a 60 lb child who doesn't sleep in the same place?!). When two people are in the queen, each can feel every movement of the other person, despite claims that you will feel nothing, and the lighter person feels like she's always rolling toward the middle of the bed. This is supposed to be their best mattress, but it's worse than our 10-year-old one!

Simmons Beauty Rest World Class 200

Comfort:

Value:

Pros: Good for 3 yrs

Cons: Sagging and bar protruding in the middle. PEICE OF JUNK.

I purchased this mattress Aug. 21, 2005 for $1700.The first 3 yrs were fine. Then we saw the sagging on each side of the bed and the bar in the middle protruding. (This particular bed offers two different options of firmness on each side). Now the sagging is more visible to the eye and the bed is unbearable. I purchased it from Mattress Giant and when contacted showed no interest in assisting. Many issues have arisen and they are not a liable company. I have contacted corporate about the warranty and simmons directly with no results. All I can say is do your home work with the Better Business Bureau before buying a mattress and read all reviews and the FINE print on your invoice before your mattress is delivered. This mattress is truely a peice of crap!!!

Pros: super comfortable plush pillowtop

Cons: wake up sore sometimes...

Solid purchase with super comfortable pillowtop. Bought this from the westin hotel group. I don't think the one at home is quite as comfortable as the one in the hotel but it could be becuase we didn't buy the hotel bedding as well. My friend got one too and she agreed that hers wasn't quite as comfy as the hotels. We debated the reasons. Bottom line is that it has a great soft and super comfortable pillowtop. However, I sometimes wake up with a sore shoulder or hip. Never had that issue with my cheap firm bed in the past. Don't know if it's the bed or my age... :( I got a great deal on the bed and boxbring with an employee discount. The whole bed, boxsping and frame was $600 for a King. But we had to do the pickup and setup since we got it as an employee.

Hotel Luxury at Home

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: Soft yet firm underneath. Just the right mixture. My husband has a bad back but does not complain with this mattress. Was also comfortable during 2 pregnancies. Have had the mattress for 7 years - no signs of wear and tear.

Cons: Sometimes difficult to find a fitted sheet that stays around the mattress. It's a matter of finding sheets with the right depth/height.

I traveled to Starwood hotels so frequently and was most comfortable in Westins and Ws where they have Simmons BR pillowtop mattresses (co-branded with Westin's Heavenly Bed and W) - so comfortable that we got one for home.

Pros: This mattress provides good support and is very comfortable to sleep in. I also like the pillow top feature.

Cons: After several years, there are definitely "dents" in my side of the mattress and my husband's.

I have had this mattress for several years and have been very happy with it. I am prone to back problems, but sleeping on this mattress usually makes my back feel better (whereas other mattresses often make it feel worse).

Pros: Saves the time and trouble of putting together a fancy setup yourself

Cons: Expensive - could probably get away for less if you tried to assemble it yourself

A few years ago I stayed in a Westin hotel and really loved their "Heavenly Bed." You can go online and buy it, and have it delivered -- mattress, boxspring, pillows, sheets, everything! And it's just like the hotel version

i love my bed

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: firm support with a soft visco top that isn't too pillowy

Cons: i've read that the chemicals in visco foam can be harmful to your health. i haven't had any problems and don't detect any strange smells from my mattress like some people claim. i actually feel better since i've gotten my new bed, so i generally don't worry about it. i'm not a super-green, eco-friendly person, but every once in a while, i think about whether or not it is bad for me. then, i figure there are far worse things i do to myself.

i had only paid $300 for all my previous beds, so this price tag was tough to swallow. it seemed like a big investment to make, but it was totally worth it. i was having some back pain with my previous cheap bed and wanted something with more support. i was a little hesitant to purchase an extra firm bed, but the salesperson assured me it would get worn in to be the right level of support that i wanted. he was right. it is firm, but not stiff. there is a visco foam top that gives a slight loft but it isn't too mushy. it's just enough to feel like a soft, cozy bed but with a firm base.

Beautyrest Black - 2 weeks in

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: Simmons top of the line offering has "Advanced Pocketed Coil" - supposed to provide 20% more motion dampening effect than the entry level BeautyRest models. I can't say I'm sensitive enough to gauge 5% vs. 20% vs. 50% but the bottom line is this mattress is very good at minimizing motion transfer. It also seems to do a good job striking a balance between the firm support we both wanted for back sleeping but not being so firm that your arms/shoulders fall asleep if you try to sleep on your side. While the Napa is the firmest model offered in the Black line, it does still have a measurable amount of padding/soft "stuff" on top. So much so that my husband was skeptical that this was actually a "firm" mattress. However I had been told by several reps in the store that you can't really judge the true firmness of the mattress based on the top levels of padding- the firmness is determined by the strength/construction of the coils inside.

Cons: Pricey, but hey on a $/use basis it's probably one of the least expensive items we own...

So far, so good. We got this mattress 2 weeks ago and have been sleeping well without back pain or losing circulation. We'd had a Beautyrest previously and had been happy for about 5 1/2 years until we started feeling like we were sleeping in two canyons on either side of the bed... Because I'm a light sleeper I had a non-negotiable committment to buy another BeautyRest. Just to compare we did try some Sertas and some TempurPedic. Sertas almost felt like waterbeds compared to the BeautyRest. The TempurPedic was actually better than BeautyRest at reducing motion transfer but we weren't willing to spend that much. I'd say the durability score is preliminary because we've only had it for two weeks but I'll try to update after a few months...

Simmons BeautyRest pillow top

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: luscious pillow top cushioning

Cons: after five years, the force of gravity has caused an indentation in the mattress that looks like a CSI chalk line. Am I supposed to flip this thing or what? Not at all clear.

Had to buy a california king size mattress and box spring when my queen size box spring wouldn't fit up the stairwell of a new house (king's have 2 twin size box springs-who knew?). Buying a mattress is worse than buying a used car. Even though I enjoy negotiating a good deal, even I can't stand the sales process at the local mattress stores. So we drove out to Hayward to the Macy's liquidation warehouse and got a very good deal on a high-end mattress

Simmons BackCare, pretty good

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: Comfortable in a general, "normal" way - not too firm and not too soft. Was able to accommodate my husband's and my very different sleeping preferences (back vs. stomach; comfy vs. not too soft)

Cons: Bottom side is not finished for use! What a waste - if you want to rotate your mattress, you are stuck to just turning it around 180 degrees. After less than 5 years, the wells where we sleep became large.

A good mattress for someone looking for something not too firm and not too soft

Not certain what I think

Comfort:
Support:
Durability:
Value:

Pros: While I only rate comfort 3 out of 5 stars, the bed is comfortable. It's almost more comfortable without any sheets on it.

Cons: I have to believe the only con I have is our own doing at this point. Without the box spring, I feel this mattress lacks the support I desire.

Loved the mattress when laying on at the store - hence the purchase. I don't know if it is due to the fact we did not go with a box spring (which I've often heard makes the bed), but it isn't as comfortbale as I thought it was going to be. The comfort is OK, but I was looking for more. The funny thing is my wife loves it.

Very soft on top, but with a firm mattress underneath. You sink in, but have great support. Individually wrapped coils means you don't feel your partner moving at night.

I love this mattress! The coils are in separate compartments, so when my husband rolls over or gets up in the middle of the night I don't feel a thing. The salesman tried to sell the mattress to us based on this, and I didn't believe him, but he was right!

Simmons BeautyRest

Comfort:

Pros: Soft pillowtop, very comfortable, has individually wrapped coils to supposedly limit me from feeling my wife move on the other side, which I think works. Best bed I've slept in.

Cons: None

We bought the Simmons BeautyRest Amethyst Plush Pillow top four years ago, and have been very happy with it. Previously, I was sleeping on a bed that was 20 years old, and didn't realize how bad it was until I sank into this baby. At first I thought it was too soft, but have really enjoyed the comfort and support. Was worried that being too soft would give me back problems, but I haven't had any problems...just restful sleep! Overall, very pleased with this mattress, and would highly recommend it.
