Simmons Beautyrest Mattress

Pros: Looked great felt great for 9 mnths
Cons: After 9 mnths, big dip, poor por quality

 I never leave feedback on any website for any product! But this was soooo bad, I just had to take the time!! Do your research!! I Bought a top of the line Simmons Beautyrest Mattress, paid over 4,000 for the most expensive mattress I could find thinking I would be in heaven for 10 years at least… not so! Mattress failed within 9 months and I can barely sleep now, I wake up with back pain every morning. An obvious major dip has appeared in the center of the mattress. I weigh only 180 pounds and am the only one who sleeps in this bed.

Pros: Retailer does keep replacing it.
Cons: Develops sinkholes, major loss of back support.

This is my third Simmons Beautyrest Mattress in 2 years.. Each time, only after a few months or less, the mattress develops a sinkhole.. Lower back support is gone, I wake up each morning with back pains. The place I bought them from replace it withought any arguing. And each time a get a better model, or firmer or softer.But this is crazy!!! I cannot believe it is happening again. I am starting to think I am somehow the cause to this failure. But how? I only weigh 160 lbs , 5'7" .. I usually sleep on my back and in the center, but before long the support fails and if i move over to the edges, I will roll right back into the center again. I am so upset. Am I and only a few others the only ones experiencing these problems?

Pros: Loved the support it provided for my back at first.
Cons: I only way around 185, and the mattress collapses under my weight.

I first purchased my mattress in Jan '06. It's a Simmons Btyrst Plush, Brocade. The full retail here in Alaska was $2,499 for the mattress. Also purchased the box spring, and frame for it. After the first 4 weeks or so, the middle had sunk over 1 5/8". The store determined it was defective. The replacement one was damaged in shipping. The next one I received on Palm Sunday. The service tech is coming out this Thursday to look at this one too. The middle of it is collapsing just like the first, only after 3 weeks.

Pros: I can't think of a single thing good about it.
Cons: This $2200 mattress set sagged from day one!

Just read a review of Simmons Beautyrest mattress. We have had two; one we returned 15 years ago at Foley's and exchanged for a Sealy (which we still have in a guest room). The other one we bought at a furniture store and have had no luck at all in returning. From the first night we discovered the mattress had sags and the furniture store refused to take it back. My next call will be to Simmons directly. I hope they can help. We were told the mattress had to have a 3" sag before returning it. Someone came out to "look" at the mattress and said it was fine. Of course they didn't "sleep" or even "Lay" on the mattress to tell how it felt. I will NEVER buy another Simmons Beautyrest mattress.

Pros: Delivery guy was great.
Cons: Very stiff and uncomfortable. Promotes tossing, turning and a sore back.

Bought a queen Simmons Beauty Rest World Class line with a Eurotop Plush about 1 1/2 years ago for $1000. My spouse and I are of average size and weight and the springs are already creaking. Both of us toss and turn in this bed and wake up with sore backs. When shopping, the bed felt great in the store. Now, it's as if the independent coil "technology" has completely stiffened. It feels like concrete beneath the pillow top. I would try to return the bed if I were able to find my warranty info, but, judging from other postings, Simmons customer service doesn't seem to be very service oriented. By the way, I know the CEO of this company which also played a part in my selection. Today, I'm going to start my search for a new bed. We can't continue to wake up sore and tired any longer.

Pros: Was OK for the first 4 months. Originally paid only $499 plus tax for it.
Cons: After 4 to 5 months was no longer usable and caused severe backaches.

I bought a brand new Simmons Beautyrest "Treasured Hope" firm euro top mattress from Mattress Giant in February 2009. It was only good for about 4 to 5 months then it started giving me a severe backache every day. It got to where I would wake up every day with a bad backache that would get better throughout the day, then start all over every morning when waking up. It's definitely the mattress causing it. It's pretty awful when a brand new mattress doesn't even last 6 months before wearing out and causing backaches. And I have slept on it alone and I am not overweight. I just ordered a new FLIPPABLE mattress and I am now going to give the inferior Simmons mattress away to whoever will haul it off for me. I am currently sleeping on the floor until the new mattress is delivered. Even the floor is better than a Simmons Beautyrest mattress after it's 6 months old. I will NEVER buy another Simmons product again and advise everyone else to never buy Simmons either. What a rip off! Simmons mattresses are GARBAGE.

Pros: Comfortable, durable, doesn't disturb other occupants when getting in or tossing and turning.
Cons: Satiny cover is slippery and sheets can slide off with high activity on it.

My husband and I can't agree on who gets the custody of our Simmons Beautyrest mattress. Its been 10 years since we bought it and its held up better than our marriage.

I bought it over the phone after finding a mattress I liked in a department store, so I'd not tried this specific mattress out. Once I started sleeping on it, I fell in love with it. I was really happy I bought it. We've had our children all sleep with us at various times and they always slept more soundly on our bed than any other. My mother has used our bed on her visits and has begged to switch our mattress with her $2000 pillowtop monster.

I'm sure I've lost this custody battle so I'm searching for a replacement. I am only going with Simmons Beautyrest again.

Pros: It looks wonderful but it cannot be seen because it is covered with bedding!
Cons: It is most uncomfortable and the testing company is just a "shill" for the manufacturer.

I was assured by the salesperson that the mattress would keep its shape and resiliency and it was warranted for 10 years.
Over the past several months I had noticed distinct valleys and peaks in the mattress and both my wife and I have been suffering severe back aches in the mornings.
On complaining
I was referred by your service department to the company Sleepteks America, Inc., and the inspector came with very primitive, in my opinion, instruments, to measure the “body impressions.” This of course is a misnomer because the measurements were not taken with any weight present.

The cursory pressure applied by hand at the head of the bed and in the sleeping areas appeared distinctly different as I watched the inspection.

Pros: The only good thing- it lasted for about 2 days before things went bad.
Cons: Apparently a poorly manufactured product for $1500.

My wife and I bought a mattress and box spring March 3, 2009. The label said it was made in Charlotte,NC. We slept on it for three weeks and began to notice it had depressions on both sides. When we asked the seller to honor their warranty, they made us wait for another week to come and check the set. They discovered that the box spring had failed. At the place where the box spring ruptured, the mattress was damaged. They replaced the box spring and the mattress remains in the same condition. The mattress at the store was not even close to the one we bought.

Here is another kick. They want a 20% re-stocking fee and a $50 delivery fee to replace the mattress.They did waive the delivery fee on the box spring, but I fear we will get stuck on a replacement. We will be asking for a credit on another mattress. Our sleep has been horrible on this mattress. They called this one the Courtney VIS Firm.
No way!A firm mattress is firm, not full of depressions where your body is  resting or not

Pros: It is a no-flip, no rotate mattress.
Cons: The mattress is very uncomfortable and does not provide a restful night sleep.

Have you ever slept in a padded canoe? It must be very similar to sleeping on this mattress. For the first year we owned it, it was somewhat comfortable. However, it gradually became worse and worse. Finally, after 8 months of not getting a good nights sleep, I called the company for an inspection. Of course, they sent a mattress inspection company representative who found nothing wrong with it. My wife and I are both of average height and weight. We both wake up with sore shoulders, back, and/or neck every morning. However, since the company is not backing it's product (15 year warranty), we are forced to live with it or spend a lot more money. We paid over $1200. My recommendation: Try another brand.

Pros: pretty fabric on mattress cover (big deal)
Cons: terrible, awful, ripoff, lumpy, does not last

I am on this site looking for reviews of different mattresses because I need to replace my 7 year old Simmons BeautyRest mattress set. First, this mattress set needed to be replaced about 2 years after I bought it. It's lumpy, swayed, springs popping out the sides. What a horrible mattress. I will never buy another Simmons product. I have flipped, and quarter turned the mattress as per the directions, but you simply cannot believe how many springs have popped through the top and sides. When I make my bed, it looks like one of those old swayed beds you see in the movies in low class motels. I purchased a feather bed to try to extend it's life, and this has given me another 6 months. I am miserable, with constant backache caused by this lousy mattress set.
I purchased this in either January 1999 or 2000. Don't make the same stupid mistake I made! Stay away from Simmons products.

Pros: Liked the mattress to start with.
Cons: When mattress sagged, Simmons would not stand behind their warranty, They just stonewalled me.

I purchased a Simmons mattress with a ten year warranty and after about three years the mattress was sagging badly. I filled out all the proper documents along with pictures and sent them to Simmons and had no response from Simmons. After about six monhs, I called them on several occasions and was talked rude to. That was over a period of two years and I still have not had a response or phone call from Simmons. I just want people to know what to expect if they have trouble with a Simmons mattress.

Pros: GREAT comfort, no movement, memory foam pillow-top
Cons: Expensive.

We bought a Simmons beautyrest mattress in queen ultra-plush pillow-top about a year ago and have found it to be the best bed we have ever slept in. The pillow-top is several inches of memory foam and the bed absolutely does not move when someone gets up. This is great as sometimes I get my 3 year old daughter to nap with me but if I want to get up and the bed moves she stirs and it starts all over. We all sleep very well and find the firmness fine and no signs of indentation yet. Also the edge guard is great as I can sit at the foot of the bed and put on my shoes and not sink all the way or disturb anyone sleeping.
10 out of 10 :)

Pros: There is nothing good about these beds in my opinion.
Cons: Thousands of complaints posted on the internet,company evidently does not stand behind their products.

I purchased a KING pillowtop/foam - after 8 months bed has broken down badly. Simmons is giving me the run around, I have demanded a refund because the dealer went bankrupt and went out of business. This is second bed doing the same thing. When you lay in it, it "sinks" badly into deep holes. Simmons uses excuses, "normal body impressions", " there will always be an indentation", to get out of their warranty. Something must be done about this.

Please contact me through my website also.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Heavy, did not help me sleep, horrible for my back.

I bought a top of the line the Beautyrest right when I turned 40. After about a month my back started hurting, and I assumed I was just getting old. This went on for two years. By the end I was spending 15 minutes stretching every morning so I could just walk. Then I finally realized that my back was fine by the evening. (Yes, I realize I was a bit slow on the uptake!)

Even though it was WAY too expensive, I bought a Sleep-Aire. Frankly, I hoped it would do me no good, and I could return it with a good conscience. However, two weeks later I was like a new person. No back pain at all, AND I sleep much more deeply, not waking up every 2 hours like I used too. Beautyrest is old technology and just does not cut it for folks who have have any back problems at all.
