Mattress Advice

Stearns and Foster Ultra Firm?

Q: Hi, I just bought the Patricia S&F Mattress. I didn't even get it delivered yet. My back is terrible. After 6 months I am getting rid of an Embody Insightful mattress because the sales man that recommended this mattress I believe was just out to make a fast buck.

I am 300 lbs. I tried the Simmons Black Devin and I really liked that but when I got up my shoulders hurt. After every mattress I tried I resorted back to the Patricia. One thing that I'm nervous about was the side of the mattress. It seems like the edge is very soft or there is nothing that is holding it up if I sit there. When I lay on the side of the mattress it seems to be ok. Since I got a 100 day trial, I took a chance.

I was going to try the Luxury Estate Ultra Firm but I couldn't find it.

Can you tell me the difference between the Luxury Estate Ultra Firm and the Estate and if I made a mistake by not getting the Luxury Estate Ultra Firm? Can you tell me why the side of the Estate Ultra Firm feels very soft or has no support when you sit on it? BTW, I tried the FoxBridge. I felt the Patricia was firmer but the side was much better on the FoxBridge. I guess you can cross reference the names from Mattress Firm. I really appreciate it; I can't find any information at all. 

A: If your shoulders hurt when you got up from the Simmons Black Devin, you most certainly do not want to go with the Estate Ultra Firm. If you're 300 pounds, I wouldn't recommend sitting on the sides.

Simmons Black Corinne vs. Dafne

Q: I've seen the Corrinne (Simmons Black) is one retailer--and the Dafne in another. Can you compare these for me? And what is the difference in terms of comfort/softness between a plush and a plush/firm? Thanks. 

A: They are the same mattress. Our Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree is also the same model. The plush version on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being the hardest, is a 5 and the plush firm is a 3.5.

Simmons Black Penelope vs. Simmons Black Desiree

Q: As a side sleeper who has always slept on high end Beautyrests, I love the Black Penelope but queen prices here are very high. Plus, I see quite a few blogs where customers complain of major sagging (across Beautyrest lines) and the consensus is the manufacturer's reps are not honest in honoring the warranty. I was considering a Black Lexi Extra Firm and adding a latex or foam topper. Would I get the same effect> Would it get hot? Also, considering the NxG Legend Superplush--same concerns as Penelope. Do you carry? Thanks--and thanks for all your well-organized info!

A: Latex toppers usually sleep cool. You may want to consider going with the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Plush, which is $900 less than the Penelope. If the Plush version is too hard, then you could buy a latex topper. I've had no problems with the Desiree sagging at all, and we have sold a lot of them.

Simmons Beautyrest Grace Bay vs. Simmons Black Desiree

Q: I am looking for a queen size medium-firm Simmons Beautyrest Black. Are the Desiree and Grace III both medium firm? How would you compare the two? Thanks.

A: Both models in their plush/firm version are medium firm. The Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree is better quality; it should be more supportive, comfortable, and durable.

Stearns and Foster Graciela and Simmons Black Daniella

Q: Being a stomach sleeper, I would like your thoughts on the Simmons Black Daniella Plush Firm and the Stearns and Foster Graciela Luxury Firm...any recommendations???

A: The Simmons Black Daniella is a plush firm pillowtop, which could put strain on your lower back depending on your body shape and weight. Your best bet would be the Graciela Luxury Firm Tight Top. We have free delivery, setup, and there is no sales tax.

Simmons Gold Firm Pillowtop

Tony, I need your expert help! I just bought a bed frame at Thomasville Furniture in East Hanover, NJ. They also sell Simmons mattresses. So, for convenience, I ordered the Simmons "Gold Firm Pillowtop", but they can't provide me with any details on it. The model number is supposedly 59805-006-01. Can you tell me what Simmons series this falls into? I paid $1800, on sale. But, would rather pay more to get the right mattress. I think the new Black line may be more the technology I'm looking for. My current Simmons that I bought in 2008 from Macy's --the Felicia---is sagging after just a little over two years. Thanks, Robert

 

Robert, You are right.  There isn't much information on the Simmons Gold Firm Pillowtop.  Thomasville does this on purpose so that it's harder to comparison shop and they can make higher profit margins on their models.  It's pretty standard practice for them.  Your instincts are correct -- $1,800 is high for any Simmons Beautyrest model, regardless of what size you bought (even if it was a king size set).  You are also correct that you could do much better with the Simmons Beautyrest Black.  If you're looking for a firmer pillowtop, you may want to consider a Simmons Beautyrest Black Daniella Plush Firm Super Pillowtop.  That's a similar comfort level to the Gold Firm Pillowtop that you were looking at.  On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the hardest to 10 being the softest), the Daniella is a "5", which is a middle-of-the-road feel.   I regard the Beautyrest Black coil unit to be the best on the market today, and it will give you even better motion separation and support than a standard Beautyrest.   The Daniella also has a lot of high-tech quality filling materials (i.e., padding), like the Next Generation (NxG) memory foam, Renew foam, etc, which will help with durability and minimize body imprints.  Even though it's a little more than the $1,800, it's so much better quality and such a better value.    We offer free delivery, setup, removal, a free sheet set, and of course, there's no sales tax.  If you have any other questions, let me know. 877-454-3211 www.MattressHotlineExpress.com

Simmons Beautyrest Black Devon and Naomi

Tony,

My interest is in the Simmond Beautyrest Black Collection Extra Firm King mattress. Please confirm that Macy's (Naomi) and Mattress Warehouse (Devon) are the same as Mattress Hotline Express (Lexi) correct? Any other info you feel I need to known when considering where to buy from or other names this mattress is called since there seems to be roughly 6 names various companies call the same mattress. Your help would be appreciated!

Rich

Answer: 

Yes, that's true: the Simmons Beautyrest Black Lexi is the same as the Naomi as well as the Devon.  However, the Lexi is a pretty hard mattress.  On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the hardest to 10 being the softest), the Lexi is about a 2.  This is a good choice for a back sleeper that prefers a hard mattress.  However, if you sleep predominently on your side, you may want to consider the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Plush (firmness level would be a "5"). 

We guarantee our prices to be the lowest, and there is no sales tax.   We also offer free removal, delivery and a free sheet set.  If you have any additional questions, you can give us a call at 877-454-3211.

Simmons Beautyrest Black

Q: I noticed you carry the Simmons Beautyrest Black collection that is offered on the Simmons.com website.  It appears that the Simmons Black Sasha is the same as the Natasha.  Can you verify this because I would like to buy from you today.

A: We carry the Simmons Black national lineup, which is the models seen on their website.  You are correct.  Our Simmons Beautyrest Natasha is the same as the Simmons Beautyrest Black Sasha.

Tranflexion Foams by Simmons Beautyrest.

What is Transflexion Foam and what does it mean to me?

Transflexion foams are according to Gary Fazio of the Simmons Company, "Transflexion is an innovative foam “break in” process that is designed to ensure a mattress feels the same at home as it does on the retail floor." This helps to ensure that the feel of the mattress at home is consistent with the feel on the showroom floor.
