If there was a masthead of mattress industry veterans, Beautyrest would be among the top three. Way before the bed-in-a-box industry popped off, Beautyrest was making premium, comfortable mattresses you had to walk into a store to buy. Now, Beautyrest has a large catalog of different mattresses from high-end, hotel-worthy beds to quality beds that offer excellent value.
The pillow top model from the Beautyrest Black collection.
First impressions
Black Collection: The Beautyrest Black Collection is made up of two premium mattresses made with premium materials like silk, cashmere and comfortable Beautyrest foams. These are thick mattresses with pocketed coils. The Black model has a light and airy pillow top, while the Black Hybrid has a memory foam topper and cooling technology.
Harmony Collection: The Harmony collection includes three mattresses. The Harmony is the entry-level mattress with a competitive price comparable to similar hybrid beds. Then there’s the Harmony Lux and Harmony Lux Hybrid, more premium models with extra support and enhanced cooling technology. The major difference between these two is the pillow top options; quilted or memory foam.
Pressure Smart Collection: The previous two collections are the brand’s bread and butter and will be the primary focus of this Beautyrest mattress review, but the Pressure Smart Collection includes the Pressure Smart mattress. It’s a cooling mattress available in two different profiles (standard and hybrid), and it retails for a very affordable price. The standard is even less expensive than popular foam mattresses like the Casper Original and the Nectar, but it’s made with strong pocketed coils.
Designer Collection: This collection is a collaboration between Beautyrest and renowned interior designer Nate Berkus. It includes a premium hybrid mattress and different bedding accessories, including a mattress protector and a luxurious down pillow.

Beautyrest mattress constructions
Black Collection
The construction of Beautyrest’s Harmony Cayman mattress in Plush.
Beautyrest Harmony Cayman Plush: 13.5 inches thick
- NaturalCool cover
- 1.25 inch of AirFeel Foam
- 1 inch of AirCool Foam
- 0.5 inch of Beautyrest’s Charcoal memory foam
- 1 inch soft comfort foam
- T1 Pocketed coil system
This is the brand’s most affordable, entry-level mattress. It’s also available in an Extra-Firm profile.
Beautyrest Harmony Lux Carbon Medium: 13.75 inches thick
- InfiniCool Lux cover
- 1.25 inch of AirFeel Foam
- 1 inch of RightTemp Wave Foam
- 0.5 inch of Beautyrest gel memory foam
- 1.5 inch of medium-firmness comfort foam
- T2 pocketed coil system
The main difference between this and the base Harmony Beautyrest mattress is the Lux model has an upgraded pocketed coil system and enhanced cooling technology.
More firmness options are available, and you can also upgrade to the Diamond model. It’s similar to the Carbon model, but it has advanced cooling technology and increased pressure relief.
Beautyrest Harmony Lux Hybrid Empress Firm: 13.5 inches thick
- InfiniCool Plus cooling cover
- 2-inch layer of Beautyrest gel memory foam
- 2-inch medium-firmness comfort foam layer
- T2 pocketed coil system
This is the model to choose if you’re looking for a prominent memory foam feel. Rather than a quilted top, the main comfort layer is hugging, contouring memory foam. It’s also on the firm end of the spectrum, making it best for back and stomach sleepers.
Beautyrest mattress feel and firmness levels
How firm are the Beautyrest mattresses?
Beautyrest mattresses come in a range of firmness levels, from plush to firm, and with or without a pillow top.
- Ultra Plush Beautyrest mattress models will primarily be for side sleepers or petite folks who need the softest of the soft. It’s rated around a 1-2 on the firmness scale out of 10.
- Plush Beautyrest mattress models are still on the soft end of the spectrum, around 3-4. Soft mattresses from Beautyrest will be best for side sleepers, and petite combination sleepers under 230 pounds.
- Medium Beautyrest mattress models should fall around a five on the spectrum, accommodating all sleeping positions.
- Firm Beautyrest mattress models should fall around a 6-7 on the firmness scale, making them best for heavier combination sleepers over 230 pounds, back and stomach sleepers.
- Extra Firm Beautyrest mattress models are the firmest profiles you can get. I recommend this model primarily to heavy back and stomach sleepers. If you’re under 230 pounds, you may find this model a little too firm.
What does a Beautryest mattress feel like?
The feel of your Beautyrest mattress will depend on the model you choose. Pillow-top mattresses feel more light and airy and respond quickly to pressure.
The models within each collection with the word “Hybrid” in their name are designed with extra memory foam, giving those mattresses a prominent hugging and contouring feel. Memory foam beds feel like the top comfort layer is giving you a hug as it molds around the curves of your body.
If you opt for a Beautyrest mattress that comes without a pillow top, you’ll get more of a blended foam feel. You get the pressure-relieving benefits of memory foam, but it’s also more responsive to pressure than traditional foam.
Beautyrest mattress performance
Motion isolation
Beautyrest mattresses are all premium beds and will be good at isolating motion across the mattress. The best ones will be the Beautyrest Hybrid models, like Beautyrest Black Hybrid, because they have memory foam top layers that are notoriously good at absorbing motion.
Edge support
The perimeter of your mattress should be sturdy enough to make you feel supported while you’re lying or sitting on it. The Beautyrest mattresses are made with steel pocketed coils, making the beds sufficiently supportive all the way around.
Durability
Hybrid mattresses that utilize both foam and steel coils tend to be more durable and last around eight to 12 years, depending on how well you take care of your mattress. You can expect the shelf life of a Beautyrest mattress to fall within that range thanks to its durable, supportive constructions.
Off-gassing
All Beautyrest mattresses are hand-delivered to you via white glove delivery. There’s no unboxing or unrolling needed like bed-in-a-box mattresses. This means your mattress will not omit an off-gassing smell when you receive it. This is one perk of buying from a luxury brand, as they typically offer a white glove delivery service.
