Beautyrest Black Original Mattress
The Beautyrest Black Original bed is an impressive all-around bed. It’s great for couples, thanks to the BeautyEdge coils around the perimeter of the bed. The foam layers that make up the bed give it plenty of pressure relief and spinal alignment benefits. The biggest thing that you get from this bed is support—it’s there in spades.
It’s available as a base model, cooling model, and a cooling/comfort model. We like the variety this line offers; you get to choose which model best fits your sleeping needs. For instance, if you’re a particularly hot sleeper, you should opt for the C-Class cooling model of the Beautyrest Black mattress.
Beautyrest Black Original Construction And Design
If you’re looking for a luxury hybrid mattress that also performs well in terms of pressure relief, edge support, and motion isolation, then look no further than the Beautyrest Black Original bed.
Let’s talk construction. The Black Original from Beautyrest is a 13” mattress. It’s a hybrid bed, so you get multiple layers of foam and a supportive pocketed coil base. Let’s take a closer look at the layers that make up this bed:
- T3 pocketed coils with edge support reinforcements: Each coil in the Black Original bed is individually encased. There are BeautyEdge reinforced springs around the edge of the bed that give it really durable edges.
- 1/2” Plush Comfort Foam: The top layer of the Beautyrest Black bed is a plush layer of foam. When you lay on it, this layer cradles around you.
- 1” Medium Comfort Foam: This layer is slightly firmer than the one above it, but it still provides ample pressure relief.
- 1 1/2” Energy Foam: The polyfoam layer is specifically targeted to help distribute the weight of heavier sleepers.
- 1/2” Beautyrest Gel Memory Foam: The layer of foam before the coils is a firm layer of gel memory foam. The gel is supposed to help move heat away from you while you sleep.
- Antimicrobial HeiQ V-Block cover: Sadly, the cover of this bed is not removable. You’ll need to spot clean as needed.
Beautyrest Black Original Firmness And Feel
- Firmness: The Black Original bed is fairly firm. It’s what we’d call a medium-firm on our scale. We think this bed is a good pick for the average sleeper, especially if you’re a stomach or back sleeper who needs a bed that can support your spine.
- Feel: Honestly, it feels like a foam hybrid mattress. It technically has memory foam but doesn’t feel like memory foam. It has a familiar overall feel, which is comfortable.
Beautyrest Black Original Pricing
When comparing the Beautyrest Original Black vs. Beautyrest Hybrid, there isn’t too much of a difference from a price point. You can expect to pay $100 more for the Black Original in every size.
| SIZE | PRICE | AVERAGE |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | $2,249 | $819 |
| Twin XL | $2,249 | $1,170 |
| Full | $2,529 | $1,195 |
| Queen | $2,699 | $1,400 |
| King | $3,199 | $1,764 |
| Cal King | $3,199 | $1,848 |
Sleeper Type Analysis
Beautyrest Hybrid Mattress
The Beautyrest Hybrid is an online-only mattress from Beautyrest. This bed combines memory foam and coils for a supportive and comfortable feel that slowly responds to pressure.
Beautyrest Hybrid Construction And Design
The Beautyrest Hybrid mattress is a pretty solid bed that’s good for pretty much every sleeper style and body type. That’s why we love hybrids — everyone can sleep on one.
- T3 Pocketed coils with edge support reinforcements: The main support level of the Beautyrest Hybrid is a pocketed coil layer. They are individually wrapped, allowing them to move by themselves and give you a nice, responsive feel.
- 1″ Transition foam: The transition layer of this bed is polyfoam. It’s firmer than the layers of foam above it, but that means it’s responsive when you lay on it.
- 2″ Gel memory foam: You get the pressure relief you expect from the 2” gel memory foam layer.
- 1″ Gel memory foam: When you lay on the Beautyrest bed, you sink in and the memory foam reaches up to cradle you.
- BlackICE Cooling cover: The neat thing about the Beautyrest hybrid mattress is that the cover is made with a special cooling material.
Beautyrest Hybrid Firmness And Feel
- Firmness: We’d consider the Beautyrest Hybrid bed a medium-firm on our scale, meaning it will work for most sleeping styles. It’s not the best plush mattress ever, but it’s also not supposed to be. It’s designed to be a supportive mattress with comfort layers that are accommodating. And we think it achieves just that.
- Feel: We think it works best for back, stomach, and combination sleepers. Side sleepers should probably opt for one of the softer model upgrades.
Beautyrest Hybrid Pricing
There’s no denying that the Simmons Beauty Rest Hybrid mattress skews towards the more pricier spectrum. Then again, it is a luxury bed and the price rightfully reflects so. If budget is not a dealbreaker for you, we do think this mattress is worth the price since it does feel luxurious compared to traditional mattresses.
| SIZE | PRICE | AVERAGE |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | $2,149 | $819 |
| Twin XL | $2,149 | $1,170 |
| Full | $2,429 | $1,195 |
| Queen | $2,599 | $1,400 |
| King | $3,099 | $1,764 |
| Cal King | $3,099 | $1,848 |

Beautyrest Harmony Mattress
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly option from Beautyrest, the Harmony mattress may be just what you are looking for. Retailing at about $999, the Harmony mattresses also offer individually wrapped coils. This is a technology is mostly preferred because it allows the coils to provide better support. Beautyrest partnered with Seaqual to offer a unique sustainable fabric for each Beautyrest Harmony mattress. Seaqual is known leader in ocean plastic recovery and upcycling efforts. This mattress is pretty soft, so we’d recommend it to side sleepers.
This model also comes in the Harmony Lux Carbon, Harmony Lux Diamond, and Harmony Lux Hybrid.
How We Test The Mattresses
Yes! We think every mattress in the Simmons Beautyrest line is good. They are versatile, durable beds that nearly every sleeper can like. And if you have specific preferences or needs, the variety in the mattresses they offer has something for everyone.
Generally, we recommend that you replace your mattress every 7 to 10 years. Some memory foam mattresses may last a little longer than that, but generally, a Beautyrest mattress will have a lifespan of about seven years.
We think Beautyrest mattresses are good options for people with back pain because of their supportive innerspring design. If you have back pain, you likely will want to opt for a firmer model of the Beautyrest Black Natasha. Or the Beautyrest Original mattress or even their hybrid.
