Simmons Beautyrest Mattress

Pros: Price ... maybe ... but is the hassle worth it?
Cons: Poor design leads to an overall miserable ownership experience

If you are tempted to buy this mattress, go have a beer, have some chocolate, have a nap (on another mattress), call your Great Aunt Bertha, but whatever you do, don’t buy this mattress!

Our story begins with a happy newlywed couple ... We...

Pros: New ones do not need turning (this has to be proven to me)
Cons: Springs pop out, not enough padding in some models

Our first mattress was a BeautyRest. We paid a lot for it, although I do not remember the amount now. We fell for the hype about the single cell springs but I did not think it stilled the motion as much as they claimed. Because there is padding and...

Pros: NO NEED TO FLIP IT! SHEETS FIT IT! IT IS GREAT! YOUR BACK WILL THANK YOU!
Cons: Not Even One!

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress is what I own, and I sell mattresses! I have always hated flipping mattresses in order to keep them really in good condition. Don't you hate that? Think about it! You spend all that money to buy a great mattress so your back...

Pros: Firm, low disturbance, fits standard sheets
Cons: Heavy mattress!

I purchased the Simmons Beautyrest Alexandria Queen Size from local mattress store with the intent of replacing my old twin size bed. Everyone’s mattress preferences are different; some people prefer a plush mattress and some people prefer a ...

Pros: Great pillowtop, firm springs, high quality, isolated movement
Cons: Springs too firm for lightweights - like my wife!

After about 12 years on a Serta Perfect Sleeper it was time for a new bed. My arms and hips would go numb with the old Serta - partly due to age I'm sure - so we were looking for a pillowtop mattress. Our back's seemed fine on the Serta, but I just...

Pros: The color?
Cons: Expensive, too tall, uncomfortable to the point of causing pain, extremely heavy/bulky.

My wife and I searched long and hard for a mattress set that we felt would provide us with years of restful sleep. In the end, we selected a king-size Simmons Beautyrest® mattress and foundation set, which Simmons refers to as The Do Not Disturb ...

Pros: Needed no "breaking in" period. Proper support for every sleeping posture.
Cons: Height takes some getting used to.

I'm 6' 3" in height and weigh in just south of 275 pounds, so my wife and I decided on a king size bed. On the same day we applied for our marriage license (we took the plunge on November 17, 2001), we visited the Banner Mattress store in San...

Pros: Solid, heavy, very firm.
Cons: The EXTRA FIRM is perhaps too firm for us.

My wife and I shopped around for a new bed four years ago, because my back was starting to give me trouble in the mornings, and I thought that the old bed might be the problem. We did a little research first, and decided to go for the pocket-coil...

Pros: None that we can think of.....
Cons: Unusable after only 8 months!

Cannot imagine WHAT we were thinking of. We went out and bought a new mattress without first checking Epinions. Won't make THAT mistake again.

Our (uninformed) opinion was that since Simmons is a mattress brand that has been around a while,...

Pros: It's new, good name
Cons: Very uncomfortable, poor customer support from Simmons and the retailer

I bought this mattress about a year ago. Under pressure from acquaintances of all types, I had finally decided to upgrade from my worn out futon on the floor sleeping arrangement. Considering the amount of money I would be spending on the purchase, you...

Pros: We're not sleeping on the floor; Simmons USED TO provide customer service- be persistent- BEWARE!
Cons: Mattress Land- stay away from them; funny how they fall under "Cons" :)

This is the bed that uses a bowling ball and bowling pins to demonstrate how wonderful it is.
Maybe... if you're a bowling ball.
We aren't, and we do not like this bed in the least.
We bought this bed at Mattress Land 2 1/2 years ago after...

Pros: Very Comfortable, good customer service department
Cons: Tendency to develop soft spots or dips

I sold Simmons Beautyrest Mattresses for years until I retired, through the furniture retailer for whom I worked. I have been to seminars where the Simmons reps showed us videos on how this mattress was made, toured the factory and saw what went on from...

Pros: Not one I can think of
Cons: Poor quality, poor durability, poor customer service

This has to be the worst choice we ever made. Why we put up with it for 3 years I'll never know.

This bed got ruts wherever we laid within a month of it being delivered. It was a king-sized bed and not easy to flip (there were no handles)...

Pros: The nice fabric is the only pro
Cons: Very uncomfortable and not what we ordered.Company does not respond in any way.

We bought a Simmons Beautyrest mattress in December 97. We figured $1600 would get us a nice mattress and better nights than our old shabby futon. We ordered a firm King size mattress and made sure they understand that we wanted eastern king, not western...

Pros: Can't feel it when your partner gets up to pee. Comfortable!
Cons: Expensive

I read the two complaining reviews against Beautyrest, and all I can say is this: You should always try before you buy! Simmons makes so many models varying from extra firm to extra pillowy, it's like choosing the right car for you. Not just any...
