Hi Pete,
I have a Simmons Beautyrest Classic Belmont Firm Pillowtop Mattress that needs to be replaced.
I bought it in 2010.
Any suggestions on a good replacement?
Thanks, Jean
Hello Jean,
For such a short question, here’s so much to go over.
Your mattress:
Mostly polyurethane foam with a little memory foam, (aka Viscoelastic)
The memory foam that Simmons used in 2010 is not the cheap common memory foam used today. It was more durable and cured so that it didn’t off gas the toxic chemicals from which most memory foam is made. And, there wasn’t much of it.
Fast forward to 2016.
An investment group purchased Simmons and Serta. They are now one company.
As you can see in the specifications of the 2nd photo, it’s all memory foam.
It’s the cheap memory foam imported from China, not as durable and not cured.
It’s purposefully designed to wear quickly. It sleeps hot and off gasses all those toxic chemicals. You can detect that chemical odor just by walking into a mattress store.
A Beautyrest had always been the most comfortable due to the individually pocketed coils…800 coil count in a Classic model with firmer coils used in their firmer models.
(Thinner gauge wire used in their plush models)
Today, most innerspring mattresses use a pocketed coil unit.
Beautyrest mattresses that are made today will last an average size person, only a few years…less for those who are overweight.
We do carry a mattress that is quite similar in specifications and feel to the mattress you have…The Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress.
The coils and count are about the same.
The upholstery is mostly polyurethane with a little memory foam.
The memory foam and poly foams are cured, so there’s no off gassing.
The description given, to the Tulah, by the factory is misleading. It feels firmer than it sounds. Luxury Firm, is how I’d describe it…more like your firm pillowtop.
I have friends and family sleeping on this mattress.
It’s an excellent value, providing good support and longevity.
UPDATE!…This Wolf Mattress Has Been Discontinued.
We are pleased to offer you a higher quality mattress from Eco-Terra.
This mattress provides the same support with an upgrade in upholstery.
The higher quality upholstery provides greater comfort and longevity.
