Material & Construction

Q1. What are the unique technology, design, and materials used in the construction of the Beautyrest Select  Mattress?

In this mattress review section, we will discuss how the two Beautyrest Select Mattresses are constructed. Depending on the model, the comfort layers are different; otherwise, the support system and the cover material are identical.

The Select models are made using special foams designed exclusively for the two mattresses in combination with series pocketed coils as the mattress support system.

The cover of the mattress is an antimicrobial layer that prevents sleepers from germs and viruses besides preventing excess sweating thus helping to wake up fresh every morning. Both models feature 800 Series Pocketed Coils for precise support to the body part that requires the most. The coil design makes the edges strong, which makes it safer while sleeping near the edges.

Let’s see the detailed construction of each Beautyrest Select model.

Construction of Beautyrest Select Mattress

The Select model (queen size) has a dimension of 79.5″ long x 60″ wide x 11.5″ high. It has four comfort layers comprising of:

  • DualCool™ Plus Technology: This dual cool layer helps to wick away moisture from the body thus maintaining optimal temperature for an ideal sleep.
  • Stretch-Flex™ Fiber: It integrates between the different layers of the mattress to cuddle the natural body curves for consistent support all night.
  • Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam: The gel memory foam allows equal distribution of body weight on the mattress surface besides contouring the sensitive areas of the body with exceptional pressure relief.
  • 800 Series Pocketed Coil® Technology: Individually wrapped coils placed in a series of 800 offer precise support and evenly distribute the body weight across the mattress. It supports the foam layers above, which in turn helps to keep the body uplifted while sleeping. The design is crucial in managing spinal alignment and preventing motion transfer to the neighboring coils. This enables restless partners to share their beds.

Construction of Beautyrest Select Hybrid Mattress

The dimensions of the Beautyrest Select Hybrid (queen size) model are 79.5″ long x 60″ wide x 13″ high. It is made up of a variety of foams and coils distributed in four layers.

Repositioning

(4.00/5)

Q1. How Would You Rate Beautyrest Select Mattress From A Repositioning & Responsiveness Perspective?

Repositioning

Beautyrest Select models have an 800 Series pocketed coil arrangement which offers adequate bounce, making it easier to adjust positions on the bed.

The ContourFit design in Select Hybrid mattress is designed such the mattress stretches and adapts to changing body movements, thus supporting the moves as you sleep. This helps in repositioning thus keeping the body in the best position throughout the night.

The Firm variants in both models prevent the body from sinking deep into the mattress, thus facilitating easy repositioning. However, the Plush Pillow Top Select mattress may not be suitable for heavier individuals who might feel stuck while trying to change sides.

Responsiveness

Beautyrest Select Mattresses have good responsiveness, as the advanced coil technology helps each coil to individually adjust to movements. This leads to less motion transfer, so when there is movement or shift, the mattress responds quickly to maintain comfort.

The Select Hybrid incorporates ContourFit design exclusive to the hybrid models that serve the purpose of adapting to body shapes and shifting positions for restful sleep. If responsiveness is one of the factors you would look for in a mattress, then the Select Hybrid is a good option.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.25/5)

Q2. How Would You Rate Beautyrest Select Mattress For Providing Comfort And Pressure Relief To Sleepers?

Comfort

Beautyrest Select Series is made of smooth memory foam in multiple layers that work together to conform to your body and offer unmatched comfort and support.

The design of the Select mattress using Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam, and Stretch-Flex™ Fiber cradles the sensitive body parts to reduce excess pressure from these areas. The gel foam redistributes the body weight evenly thus helping in proper spinal alignment. The stretch fiber integrates between the mattress layers to cuddle your body throughout the night, thus helping you sleep comfortably.

Beautyrest Select Hybrid offers consistent support with a unique ContourFit® design that stretches the mattress surface to adapt to your movements thus ensuring comfort all night. Gel foams add comfort and support by evenly distributing the body weight across the mattress.

The pocketed coil design at the core of both mattress models further aids in providing individualized support and motion isolation.

Pressure Relief

Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam and Stretch-Flex™ Fiber contributes to pressure relief in the Select model. These layers of foam work together to conform to the body contours thus providing adequate support to the areas that need the most. The combination creates a superior pressure relief experience for sleepers of all body types sleeping in their preferred sleeping styles.

Gel foams like the Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam and GelTouch® Foam, in the Select Hybrid model, offer close contouring thus relieving off pressure from the critical pressure points. Multiple layers of high-quality pressure relieving foams further aid in close conforming, enhancing the pressure relief for a better sleeping experience every night.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(4.00/5)

Q3. How Would You Rate The Cooling And Overall Temperature Control Characteristics Of Beautyrest Select Mattress?

Beautyrest Select helps sleep cool with its advanced dual cool technology that can dissipate body heat thus preventing sweating while sleeping. The DualCool™ Plus Technology fiber keeps the mattress cool and offers a fresh and dry sleeping surface.

The Beautyrest Select Hybrid collection on the other hand achieves a cool sleeping surface from the use of gel memory foam, which does not trap heat like traditional memory foam.

The coil design consists of 800 individually wrapped coils that allow air to flow into the interior of the mattress, thus keeping it cool. This helps the mattress in achieving its optimal temperature for better sleep.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

Q4. Does Beautyrest Select Mattresses Provide Reasonable Motion Isolation When Sharing A Bed With Others?

Motion isolation is one of the best features of the Beautyrest Select models. To achieve this Beautyrest invented the pocketed coil design. The Select models use serially placed coils (800 Series Pocketed Coil® Technology) that isolate motion between individuals sharing their beds. The coils being individually wrapped do not transfer motion to the neighboring coil under compression but rather react individually to movements. The coil structure is supported by the foam layers above which help to absorb maximum motion before it is transferred to the coils at the base.

So, the foams and coils combine to control motion transfer for an undisturbed sleep.

Edge Support

(4.00/5)

Q5. How would you rate the edge support of Beautyrest Select Mattresses?

In Beautyrest Select mattresses edge support is reliable, though it can vary among specific models in the Select line.

The advanced coil pocketed technology keeps the mattress firm and supportive which stretches to the edges, reducing the feeling of falling off the bed. The use of high-grade memory foam in multiple layers also adds to the stability of the mattress.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Beautyrest Select collection has a preferred bed for all types of sleepers. Keeping in mind the unique needs of side, back, and stomach sleepers, the Select collection has constructed beds of different firmness.

Beautyrest Select Collection for Side Sleepers:

Side sleepers have very unique needs as they put a lot of pressure on their neck and arms. So, a mattress that helps to relax these pressure points by gentle cradling can be a good choice for them.

Beautyrest Select’s Plush and Plush Pillow Top are good choices for side sleepers. The pressure-relieving comfort under the neck and shoulders is due to the Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam and Stretch-Flex™ Fiber, which contours these points to provide unmatched relief and support. This enables sleeping tight all night and waking up with fewer aches and pains.

Beautyrest Select Hybrid’s Plush option is only suitable for side sleepers. ContourFit® Design, Beautyrest® Gel Memory Foam, and GelTouch® Foam all work together to conform to the body curves, besides adapting and stretching the mattress surface with a change in position. This keeps the critical pressure points always engulfed with a soft and supportive feel, leading to a restful night of sleep.

Beautyrest Select for Back Sleepers:

The Firm and Medium variants of Select and Select Hybrid are good for back sleepers. Multiple foam layers and pocketed coils conform to the body while lying on the back, thus offering customized support for back sleepers of all body types.

ContourFit® Design of the Select Hybrid mattress adjusts according to the body movements thus helping to find the optimal sleep position. As back sleepers put maximum weight under the shoulders and hips, this unique design benefits back sleepers as it can stretch and recover the mattress surface, thus adapting to changes as required.

The series pocketed coil design prevents the body from sinking deep thus keeping it uplifted. This maintains healthy spinal alignment and prevents from developing back pain.

 Beautyrest Select for Stomach Sleepers:

Stomach sleepers need a strong and supportive mattress that holds their body and keeps it uplifted.

Firm and Medium options in the Beautyrest Select and Select Hybrid are the best choice for stomach sleepers. Multiple foam layers work together to give stomach sleepers the lift they need while lying on their stomach. The core design of 800 coils placed in series beneath the foam layers also prevents the body from sinking deep, thus keeping the body well aligned with the shoulders and hips. This takes the stress out of stomach sleepers who ultimately enjoy sleeping on the Firm and Medium variants.

The Beautyrest gel foams also allow the body weight to be redistributed instead of concentrating on the stomach alone. This keeps the spine in alignment with the rest of the body, thus getting a good sleep.

Beautyrest Select for Combination Sleepers:

Combination sleepers will find options of their choice in both, Beautyrest Select and Select Hybrid mattress models. As they switch sides from side to back to stomach, the firmness options they feel the most comfortable sleeping will be a suitable choice.

Individually wrapped coil and foam construction offer adequate support to combination sleepers in all sleeping positions.
