Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress.

Hi Pete,

I just finished reading your response regarding replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress and really appreciate the information you provide.

https://themattressexpert.com/2018/03/07/replacing-and-old-simmons-beautyrest-world-class-mattress/

Here are my questions:

 

I would like to pursue buying a queen size mattress but have difficulty knowing which would suit a back sleeper: Greenspring Liberta Firm, Luxury Firm, Plush or Ultra Plush. 

 

You have a great blog and website and you have done a great job educating me about mattresses 

(no memory foam for me ever)!

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you kindly, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

All 4 Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses provide the same firm support. 

The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

The Ultra Plush is what my wife and I sleep on at home.

I have a very bad back, yet I sleep and wake without back pain.

Our mattress is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

Janet writes:

Hi Pete,

I saw an article where you recommended the Natura of Canada Greenspring Liberta Ultra Plush Mattress.

This was to a lady who told you about her worn out Simmons Beautyrest World Class Exceptionale.

 

I have seen you recommend many other mattresses since I read that article.

My husband and I are needing a new king and possibly wanting a Cal King since he is 6'2" tall.  

Can you help me?

We are both side sleepers, both over 65 and like a softer feel to a bed with a stable coil system.

Thanks, Janet

 

Hi Janet,

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is the very best we carry.

The components are far higher in quality than any of the materials used by most other brands.

If you’re looking for a really good one, that would be it.

A replacement mattress for an old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Baymont Plush.

Jim writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have an old Simmons Beautyrest World Class Baymont Plush, king-sized, that I’ve owned for 20+ years.  

It’s finally worn out and in need of replacement. Can you tell me what today’s equivalent is?  

It’s been the best mattress I’ve ever owned and I’d like to replicate it as much as reasonably possible.

Thank you, Jim

 

Hi Jim,

There is no equivalent from Simmons.

Simmons, along with all of the major brands, has been sold to investors.

20 years ago, it was nearly impossible to buy a bad mattress.

Today, just the opposite is true.

 

I can recommend a mattress that is similarly made to Simmons Beautyrest.

The type of coil system is the same. The type of support is the same.

The differences are:

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger than in any Simmons mattress.

The upholstery material is Natural Talalay Latex.

Simmons now uses memory foam.

There is no memory foam in your old mattress.

 

The mattress that you will enjoy as much and for as long is:

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush.

Simmons Beautyrest Black Ava mattress with a 3" latex topper.

Carole writes:

 

Hi Peter,  

I'm a returning, happy customer.  

In early 2016, I took delivery of a Cal King Simmons Beautyrest Black Ava mattress with a 3" latex topper.  

It was so perfect. But when I had to move, less than a year later, I couldn't take a Cal. King set with me.

I gifted that to my daughter and her new husband who is 6' 3", and they still love that set so much!  

That's the good news.  

 

The bad news is I had an accident in late 2016 that resulted in mobility issues.

I now have extreme swelling in both of my legs (lymph nodes missing behind my knees).  

I was gifted a Queen size Beautyrest, Recharge World Class, Keaton Plush Pillow Top Mattress.

I bought a 3" latex topper for only $319, but I haven't been comfortable in the bed since day one.

I don't think the latex topper is sturdy enough to hold my weight up from the mattress.

It started to indent within a few months.

 

In October, 2022, I moved to Washington State, to be close to my daughter and grandbabies.

I need to buy a new mattress set and have it delivered directly to my new studio apartment.  

Budget is a concern, but I also need to be able to sleep as well as I did in the 2016 set I purchased from you.  

I need a heavy duty mattress.  

Thank you in advance for your recommendations,

Thanks, Carole

 

Hi Carole,

I do have a less expensive alternative for you.

The keys to the 2016 mattress were the firm individually pocketed coils and the quality latex topper.

Cheap latex is made in China, where they add clay as a filler...and sold as all natural latex, since clay is a natural material. But it's the added clay that causes it to break down so quickly.

 

My recommendation is for the Wolf Jessica Mattress...also using a firm individually pocketed coil unit.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/wolf-mattress-2/the-jessica/

 

Add to that, a Suite Sleep 3" Pure, Organic Latex Mattress Topper in Extra Soft.

Thanks, Pete

Using an old box spring to support any new mattress will cause premature wear and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

I bought a Saatva mattress 5 months ago. It sleeps hot and I'm already seeing body impressions.

Irene writes:

 

Hi Pete, 

I bought a Saatva mattress 5 months ago.

It sleeps hot and I'm already seeing body impressions.  

I am ready to return this Saatva mattress for something else.  

 

I recently traded in my 15 year old Simmons World Class Beautyrest Mattress.

Up until this year I absolutely LOVED that mattress and got an "ahhh" feeling every time I got into bed.  

I really liked, not only the motion isolation, but also the tightish feel of mattress top.

 

I weigh about 150 lbs and alternate between sleeping on my back and my side.

What do you suggest?

Thanks for your help, Irene

 

Hello Irene,

I hear a lot of complaints from Saatva customers.

Poor quality mattresses are the norm these days, with focus on profits instead of quality.

Let’s get you back into a high quality mattress that will last for decades.

 

 It has an individually pocketed coil unit like that which is used in your old Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher than the coils are stronger than anything Simmons makes today.

The upholstery is high quality, high resiliency, hypoallergenic latex foam that is not imported from China.

There is NO Memory Foam in any of the mattresses that we carry.

Of the 4 models in the Natura Greenspring line, the Ultra Plush model is the most comfortable without being too soft…all due to the high quality of the components.

It's what my and wife and I sleep on at home. Ours is more than 8 years old and still in like new condition.

Simmons Beautyrest World Class Lux Firm Pacific Series 1000 Mattress.

Kathy writes:

 

Hi Pete-

On vacation I slept on a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Lux Firm Pacific Series 1000 Mattress.

I would love to find this exact mattress.  Any tips?

Thanks, Kathy

 

Hi Kathy,

That mattress hasn’t been made in years.

In fact, Simmons was sold to an investment group 6 years ago.

In short, there’s absolutely no way to get that same exact mattress.

 

Today’s Simmons Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.

The mattress you slept on has no memory foam in it.

Memory foam is specifically designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

It sleeps hot and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which memory foam is made.

 

You would not want anything made by Simmons today.

 

What makes a Beautyrest so comfortable is the coil system.

The individually pocketed coils, moving independently from one another, contour to the shape of the body and maintain the natural alignment of the spine.

This type of support has been the most popular for the last 100 years.

 

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

This has that type of coil system.

The number of coils is higher and the coils are stronger than in anything Simmons has ever made. What’s more, the primary upholstery is Natural Talalay Latex.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the same past 100 years.

It’s more comfortable and more resilient than any other type of foam.

And, it’s hypoallergenic.

There is NO MEMORY FOAM in any of the mattresses have on our website.

 

Due to the high resiliency of the coils and upholstery materials, this mattress is not as soft as the designation would imply. But it is comfortable and not too soft.

My wife and I have been sleeping on this mattress for the past 8+ years and it’s still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

***********

 

Hi Pete,

Thanks for that extremely quick reply.  

I just started searching after a few weeks of very uncomfortable sleep.

My husband weighs 100+ pounds more than I do and I'm under 130lbs.  

Will this mattress accommodate this big difference?  

I am noticing a lot of shoulder pain.

Is there a store that I can go to where I can try it?

Thanks for all the details you included.

Kathy

 

Hi Kathy,

Frequent rotating of the mattress is important for even wear and the comfort life of the mattress when there’s a big difference in body weight.

Another option is two twin-xl mattresses, which would allow you to replace only his when he needs it. 

But that does complicate things when trying to match the height.

A google search will determine if there’s a retailer in your area who carries that mattress.

Unfortunately, most stores are pushing memory foam upholstered mattresses because of the frequent replacing, which boosts profits.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest World Class Mattress.

Sherry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have a very difficult time finding mattresses that are comfortable for me. 

I have found the mattress at Holiday Inn Express comfortable. 

I would like to buy one. It was a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Mattress. 

Which model and where to buy?

Thanks, Sherry

 

Hi Sherry,

That mattress was made before Simmons was sold to an investment group.

Since being sold, the quality has reduced dramatically.

And, there is now toxic chemical off gassing from the cheap memory foam they are using.

Nothing Simmons makes, today, is worth buying. They no longer make the World Class.

All of their mattresses pose a health hazard from the carcinogenic chemicals used to make the memory foam.

 

This Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress uses the same coil system as in a Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the coils are stronger. 

The support that caused you to sleep comfortably and without pain is the same.

This mattress will create the feel you want, do so safely, and last for many years.

An Extra Firm Mattress like my old Simmons Beautyrest World Class.

Richard writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I am a 67 year old fireman.  

I have had a back injury that is now getting worse with my age.  

Which line of extra firm inner coil mattresses would you recommend?  

I have had a Simmons Beautyrest Worldclass extra firm mattress for the past 15 years. It has done me well.

Today, it is sagging and needs to be replaced.

Please give me your recommendations.

Thanks, Richard

 

Hi Richard,

Simmons makes nothing as good as what they made back then.

The investment group that bought Simmons has put profits ahead of quality.

 

An individually pocketed coil system with a high coil count, heavy gauge double tempered steel and firm upholstery that isn’t memory foam will best match what you’re replacing.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Firm Mattress has everything you’re looking for.

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 had 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.

 

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Simmons Beautyrest Extra Firm Mattress is too firm. Latex Topper?

Marie writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I’m 140 lbs., sleeping on a Simmons Beautyrest World Class extra firm mattress from pre-memory foam days. It’s still super firm after years of use and it’s too hard. 

I was considering buying a Wolf mattress, but found some bad reviews about them online.

Then I saw where you often recommend a latex mattress topper for a too firm mattress.

Which latex topper do you recommend to soften the feel... 2 “ or 3”? 

I like a dense feel solid feel.

I have lower lumbar stiffness in the morning in my sixties.

Thanks, Marie

 

Hi Marie,

Click on this link to our Toppers page.

https://themattressexpert.com/mattress-toppers-latex-more/

Suite Sleep is our best quality, purest latex. They ship right away.

The Pure Bliss is blended latex and an excellent value. They’re taking 5 weeks.

 

Both will make a noticeable difference, the 3” more so than the 2”.

Softest…Suite Sleep Vita Talalay Latex

Next…Suite Sleep Organic Latex

Next…Pure Bliss

 

Wolf makes a lot of different types of mattresses.

Many of them are upholstered with memory foam…hence, the bad reviews.

We carry only 3 Wolf mattresses.

None of them are upholstered with memory foam.

We’ve sold many hundreds over the 8 years we’ve been selling them.

I haven’t had even one complaint in all these years.

 

It’s the memory foam that you need to avoid.

Learning the specifications of the mattress you’re considering buying is the only way to shop effectively.

 

Everything we sell comes with free delivery and there’s no sales tax.

None of our mattresses have any memory foam in them.

 

If you do need a new mattress, the Wolf Tulah Plush Eurotop is my recommendation.

Several of my family members sleep on that mattress, including mom-in-law.

The support it the same as Simmons Beautyrest, but with stronger coils…and upholstered with latex and poly foams…what Simmons used before they were sold…pre memory foam era upholstery.
