Looking to Replicate an Old Simmons Beautyrest Classic Mattress.

Elizabeth writes:

Hi Pete,

I am reaching out because I am looking to buy a new mattress, and I am hoping to replicate an old mattress of mine as best as possible. 

I received your information from my mother who has purchased mattresses and toppers from you in the past. 

My mattress is a Simmons Beautyrest Classic Plush.

I look forward to hearing from you with your recommendation.

Thanks so much!

Best, Elizabeth

 

Hi Elizabeth,

If that mattress was made prior to 2016, which I suspect it was, “replicating” it is impossible. Simmons was sold in 2016. The new owners are using cheaper materials designed to cause their mattresses to need frequent replacing.

 

What has always made a Beautyrest so desirable is the individually pocketed coils, which move independently from one another, maintaining the natural alignment of the body and spine.

Today, that same coil system is available everywhere.

The key to long lasting comfort is in avoiding mattresses upholstered with memory foam, which wears quickly, sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it’s made.

 

The Classic Beautyrest was their least expensive model.

My recommendation includes a “good” option, which is closer to what you have now. The “Best Buy” option is similarly made, but a bit more substantial and a bit more luxurious.

Both mattresses are an available in Medium or Medium Firm. 

I recommend you opt for the Medium, which will feel more like your plush mattress.

Replacing an Old Simmons Beautyrest Adamsville Mattress.

Karen writes:

Hi Pete,

I hope this finds you well. 

I need to replace my Simmons Adamsville Mattress, (purchased from you 12 yrs. ago).

I've read on your site that you recommend the Wolf Tulah Luxury Plush Eurotop Mattress and the Natura of Canada Greenspring 

Are the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses an equivalent or better option than the Wolf Tulah?

Does the white glove service include removal of the mattress/box spring being replaced?

I appreciate your help!

Karen

 

Hi Karen,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are our best.

The Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable, without being too soft.

It’s what my wife and I sleep on at home.

Ours is several years old and still in like new condition.

Removal of the old mattress is a service no longer offered, thanks to the pandemic.

 

Due to the high quality of the components, all of these mattresses are firmer than they sound. 

The Firm model is similar to a carpeted floor in feel. The Ultra Plush feels like a regular "Plush".

I recommend the ultra plush. It’s our most popular mattress.

The mattress is 13.5” thick. Most people get the 5” foundation.

If you got 12 years from the Adamsville, you can expect to get twice that with this mattress.

Simmons Beautyrest Classic Mattress.

Sydney writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I had the best night sleep we’ve had in years while staying at a hotel. 

The tags on the mattress indicated that it is a Simmons Beautyrest Classic.

We want to purchase a mattress as close to this as possible.

We’ve just made so many mattress purchase mistakes in the past few years, that we want one that will last.

Thank you, Sydney

 

Hi Sydney,

Since that mattress was made, Simmons was purchased by an investment group that now uses toxic chemical memory foam upholstery that wears quickly, sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which that type of memory foam is made.

In short, you won’t be able to find a Simmons Beautyrest mattress as well made as that one was.

All of the name brands have been sold. They and many other brands use memory foam for the purpose of enhancing profits.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing, and not under the terms of the warranty.

Memory foam has created a boon for the industry and a nightmare for the consumer.

It’s the source of all your purchasing mistakes.

More mattresses are being sold to the same people much more frequently than in past years when most mattresses were well made…like that Classic Beautyrest was.

 

What made that mattress so comfortable was the individually pocketed coils, which contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine. And, they have no memory foam in them.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses are as close as you’ll get.

 

Of them, their Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable without being too soft.

This is the mattress that we've had at home for nearly a decade...still in like new condition.

The coil count is much higher and the upholstery material is also higher in quality, Natural Talalay Latex.

Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, and the Black Napa pillowtop mattress.

Jeff writes:

 

Hi Pete. 

I have the same question as in one of your posts.

The choice of a Simmons Beautyrest Signature plush, Westbury plush, or the Black Napa pillowtop mattress. I'm looking for a medium firm to more firm option. 

The Napa looks to be on the softer side? 

Thanks, Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

While the Black Series has the strongest coil unit of all the Beautyrests, the memory foam upholstery used in every model, will cause all of their mattresses to wear quickly.

 

All of the name brands have been sold to investors.

All name brand mattresses are now made for high profit.

The quality that used to be their hallmark no longer exists.

 

Thanks, Pete

 

*************************************************************

 

Hi Pete,

I'm in western Canada. 

We are larger people, not obese, in our 50s, no real physical problems, other than some minor back pain.

We like a firm mattress with a comfortable top, like a pillowtop.

I look forward to your recommendation.

Thanks, Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

The pillowtop part of a pillowtop mattress is the first thing to show wear...especially one filled with memory foam.

My recommendation is for The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

This mattress uses an individually pocketed coil system, which is also used in the Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than in the mattresses, about which you originally inquired.

The upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex. Latex is and has been the best upholstery for the last 100 years.

Far superior to memory foam...like night and day.

What type of mattress is best for herniated discs?

Kristi writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I want your opinion on what type of mattress is best for me.  I am 44 yrs. old, 185 pounds.

I am typically an active person and actually teach dance.  

I have suffered over the last 5 years due to my dancing and I now have 3 herniated discs in my lower back.  

I have had a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge mattress for about 8 years now. 

For the first few years it was comfortable, but now, not so much!  

I've done a lot of research on the mattress industry and what a scam it is!  I'm frustrated!  

I want a mattress that gives me support with no gimmicks.  

Thank you, Kristi

 

Hi Kristi,

I have several disc related back problems, including herniated discs.

The mattress my wife and I sleep on allows me to sleep and wake without back pain, which is now more than several years old and still in like new condition…and that’s with each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

That same mattress will work for you on a long term basis.

 

The latex upholstery is partly responsible for the longevity and is also the best material available for relieving tired and sore muscles.

The coil system is the same type used in a Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is much higher and stronger than those used by Simmons.

 

I’m recommending the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

Equivalent to the Simmons Beautyrest Cape Breton Plush Mattress.

Benjamin writes:

 

Good Evening, Pete.

I am looking for a long lost Simmons Beautyrest Signature Recharge Collection Mattress.

However, I see it may have been discontinued in 2017, give or take. 

I am in hopes that you could help me find the new equivalent to the Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Collection “Cape Breton Recharge Plush.” Preferably in a King or California King. 

Any and all help would be grateful.

Respectfully, Benjamin

 

Good Morning Benjamin,

That mattress disappeared in 2017 because Simmons was sold to an investment group in 2016.

That same investment group also bought Serta.

3 years earlier Sealy and S&F were purchased by Tempurpedic.

 

All of these major brands, along with many others, have switched their upholstery to memory foam for the sake of higher profits.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing, and not under the terms of the warranty.

So now, they are selling more mattresses more frequently to the same customers.

 

Besides being a poor quality product, memory foam sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made, creating a health hazard.

Their focus on profits at the expense of quality, makes them a complete waste of money.

There is no equivalent from Simmons.

 

To make a successful purchase it is imperative that you buy a mattress with no memory foam in it.

We specialize in mattresses that have no memory foam in them.

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

That sale sent us to the industry trade shows to find higher quality products.

 

Almost all of the mattresses that we carry have the same type of coil system that you’ll find in a Simmons Beautyrest…individually pocketed coils, which contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine. It’s this type of support that made the Beautyrest so comfortable and popular.

None of our mattresses have any memory foam in them.

 

If you would like a recommendation, then let me show you the mattress my wife and I sleep on at home.

It's more than 7.5 years old and still in like new condition...and we aren't small people.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

What has replaced the old Simmons Beautyrest mattresses?

Lani writes:

 

Hi Pete,

As far back as 2000 I bought mattresses from our local furniture store.

They would ask if I wanted “plush” and I always said yes. 

Every mattress we bought was a Simmons Beautyrest and all were the most comfortable mattresses ever. 

All kept their shape…no sagging anywhere regardless of the size of the person sleeping on it. 

Now, I cannot find such mattresses and when I read the reviews of the replacement models, many people complain of the sagging. 

I recently bought a Simmons Beautyrest mattress, locally, for $3000 and there is sagging in the first year. 

Price doesn’t seem to matter when it comes to knowing whether or not your mattress will end up sagging.

 

I still have two of my original mattresses. 

One is a Simmons Beautyrest Classic Theodora Plush Firm.

The other is a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Wilmington Luxury Firm.

My question is, what has replaced these models and are they reliable not to sag?

 

Mahalo, Lani

 

 

Hi Lani,

Simmons is the only one of the name brands that has a manufacturing facility in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, they’ve been sold to investors who have driven down the quality by using memory foam upholstery. The same is true for all of the major brands.

 

There must be hundreds of small independent mattress manufacturers across the country. 

It’s hard to believe that there isn’t one or two somewhere on the islands.

Do a google search for mattress manufacturers in Hawaii.

If you find any, look for two things…mattresses made using an individually pocketed coil system and mattresses made with no memory foam in them.

 

Your old Beautyrests would have had that type of coil system and upholstery that was either polyurethane foam or polyurethane and latex foams.

 

Nothing Simmons makes, today, is worth buying.

Simmons Beautyrest Classic mattress.

Jenny writes:

 

Hi Pete

My folks bought 5 Simmons Beautyrest Classic firm queen mattresses for the new beach cottage in 2010. 

Even today I sleep so GOOOOOD. Help, as I heard it's discontinued.

So, I was wondering if they still sell this exact mattress and if it's just a new name?

Reading some of your client answers you replied that the company's product isn't high quality anymore?

Thank you, Jenny

 

Hi Jenny,

That is correct.

The quality dropped significantly after Simmons was sold.

Not only is it now a poor quality product, it’s a health hazard…all thanks to the memory foam upholstery they are now using.

This common memory foam off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it is made.

 

Your mattress uses an individually pocketed coil unit, which contours to the shape of the body, maintaining the natural alignment of the spine. The lack of memory foam and the poly/latex is why it's still comfortable after all these years.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is my recommendation.

The same coil system, with a much higher coil count and stronger coils.

3" of Natural Talalay Latex on a couple of inches of Natural Plant Based Polyurethane.

These components combine to provide extremely long lasting support and comfort.

 

My wife and I have been sleeping on this same mattress for many years.

It's still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

What's more, I sleep and wake without back pain, despite having a very bad back.

It's no less than a great mattress!
