Q: My daughter likes a Simmons Beautyrest "The W" bed Plush mattress (queen) that she tried out in Conneticutt. I can't find that name here in my hometown. What else is it known by? One salesman here told me it was the Beautyrest Black Olivia and another told me it was a World Class Roseworth or Parksdale. I want her to get the mattress she likes. Also, do you know anything about the Sleep to Live mattresses? I've looked at reviews and they are quite mixed, with maybe more negatives than positives. Thanks
- Donna T.
A: Hi Donna, It looks like you've gotten a few recommendations that aren't accurate thus far on the W Hotel Plush model. The W Hotels feature a Classic Beautyrest in a Plush comfort level. On our website, the *exact* same mattress is called the Beautyrest Classic Kendall Plush at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1110. If you were suggested models like the World Class Roseworth Plush, World Class Parksdale Plush, or Beautyrest Black Olivia Plush, they are similar to the design of the W Hotel bed, only with firmer coil systems that offer more motion separation and a layer of specialty foam in the upholstery. The sales associates might have been recommending the closest model they carried as the Beautyrest Classics are not always available on every showroom. If she tried the W Hotel bed and loved the way it slept, the Kendall Plush model will be the exact equivalent. We can help you find a local equivalent as well if you need to try it first. Just let us know your zip code. Sleep To Live beds are a brand that use fancy equipment to determine your body type and what mattress comfort level is the best for your sleeping habits. These mattresses are on the high end of the price scale. We prefer Tempur-Pedic's and Comfor-Pedic foam models over the Sleep To Live brand because of our personal experience with their quality and overall sleep improvement with our customers. Please let us know if you have any more questions. The Kendall Plush model at the link above is currently on sale for $799 queen set, $949 king set, price includes mattress, foundation, shipping in 2-3 weeks, white glove delivery and installation, and no sales tax(except in NC and CA). Thanks for your participation!

Q: My father is wanting me to research different mattresses for him. He is a heavy tall man (~290 & 6\'2) with a kingsize bed. Dad prefers a medium firm mattress that will allow him to sleep comfortably primarily on his side but also he sits up in bed reading a good deal. Could you make some suggestions? He is open to a foam based mattress if it would support him eventhough what he currently has is a pillowtop traditional matteress. Thanks, Robin
- Robin Stutts
A: Hi Robin, There are two routes to go, either the all foam bed or one with coils inside. Our top recommendation is an all foam mattress like Tempur-Pedic. They are very durable and do not impress and offer the best support combined with pressure relief so your father, while side sleeping, tosses and turns less and sleeps sounder. Check out the different Tempur-Pedic options on our website at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?catid=51. If he likes a medium firm mattress, we recommend the Classic Tempur-Pedic or their new Cloud bed. We have a <1% exchange ratio for our Tempur-Pedics so if he tries it and likes the feel, there's a good chance he will love it after sleeping on it just a few nights. For coil mattresses, we recommend a Plush Beautyrest or one like the Westin Heavenly Bed hotel model. The Heavenly Bed is a Classic Beautyrest with a small pillow top and hotels feature this particular model because it's a great sitter/sleeper mattress. Our Heavenly Bed equivalent is called the Beautyrest Classic Kendall Pillow Top on our website at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1112. If he prefer's firmer than this, then we recommend: Anniverary Donatello Plush - http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1123 World Class Edgertown Plush - http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1132 Beautyrest Black Olivia Plush - http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=840 From the first to last of the list above, Simmons adds more coils to each mattress giving each plush a slightly firmer core feel. Each successive bed offers more motion separation and each model has a Plush Firm option if none feel firm enough. Let us know your zip code and we can help point you to your nearest Simmons/Tempur-Pedic dealer to try these beds out. If you find one he really likes, let us know and we'll give you a quote. We offer two Tempur-Pedic Pillows of your choice and a free mattress protector with a purchase of a Tempur-Pedic mattress and the price includes delivery, installation, and is free of sales tax if your not in North Carolina. With Simmons, we offer the lowest pricing in the nation including delivery, installation, and no sales tax(Except in NC and CA). Thanks for your question!!

Q: We havd a beautyrest exceptionale, I belive Queen Anne, mattress. It was amazing but Iwas told it was discontinued. What is comprable to this?

It is a latex plush super pillow top.  Comfort scale 4. 
 
1 1/4 quiltlux foam
1 1/2 convoluted foam
1 1/4 oz. per square foot celestra
2 " 14 ILD talaly ventilated latex
 
comfort paaing layers
2" Talalay Ventilated latex
 
coil on coil
coil gauge 15
- Kaci Thomas
A: lthough the Exceptionale's aren't up on our website, they are still available for the time being.  We Have a very close comparable mattress called the Exceptionale Lake Potgan latex on our website at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=661.  Simmons is redesigning the Exceptionale line and will come out with new models in a year or so.  We are featuring their new Classic and World Class models currently since they are new.  If you would like the Exceptionale Lake Potgan, we have the queen set available for $2,499 or king set for $2,899.  Prices include mattress, foundation(s), delivery and installation in 2-3 weeks, and no sales tax(except in NC and CA).  Take a look at the detailed foam layers.  Our model is short one layer but should have a very comparable feel from what you have with the same 4" of ventilated talalay latex and the exact same coil construction.

Q: I am 95 pounds and my husband is 225. He enjoys a firmer mattress and I love softness. He refuses to buy a pillowtop again due to breakdown so I feel I can only get the softness I need from a latex topper, but that still leaves the question of which mattress. Cost isn't an issue, it's just finding one we can both live with and one that current owners don't speak badly of (especially in the "impression" problem area). We do seem to like the beautyrest lines but friends tell us stories about breakdown due to the independant springs (likely the same feature that brings us the comfort!). Now all the local stores are telling us a mattress needs replaced every 8 years but they offer 10-20 year warranties (and one of the stores is the chain tied to Simmons)? What? A $2000+ purchase every 8 years when they warranty longer? What do we choose or at least consider in your opinion?
- Amy Whyy
A: Hi Amy,

Thanks for your questions.  We rate durability of mattresses based on how they are built.  Pillow Top mattresses have a shorter life expectancy than Plush and Firm models.  Pillow Tops have the most room for impressions since they have thick foam layers and loosely sewn quilting on top.  Pillow Tops are built to emphasis comfort.  The most durable mattresses we have experience with are Tempur-Pedic and Comfor-Pedic mattresses.  The Visco Foam beds are the best if you have two completely different sleep criteria's and have a hard time finding a compromise.  The Tempur-Pedics have a firm feel but react and become soft under pressure points.

For Simmons, if you both have different idea's on what is comfortable, the best compromise is a Beautyrest Plush.  From the Classic, Anniversary, World Class, or Beautyrest Black, Simmons adds coils to each line to give more motion separation and firmer support.   So you have the choice of firmness and thickness.  Have you been able to try any Beautyrests and found one that you like more than others yet?

Q: After researching mattresses for several years (and after several bad experiences)I impulsively bought a Simmons Beautyrest Washington plush firm. Once it got here, I realized I had forgotten to make sure it was at least a World Class model, or Beautyrest black model. It is the Washington plush firm, and I can\'t find info anywhere on it. Is it a discontinued model? I had been settling on the Olivia or Perla in the plush firm. Though I like a pillowtop, my husband is not so crazy about them, and he is ok with putting a foam mattress topper on it to give me the plush feel I like. Have I made a mistake?
- Mary Sauer
A: Hi Mary,

Thanks for your question.  You haven't made a mistake if you are sleeping comfortably.  The first and foremost detail to pay attention to while mattress shopping is the question "Are you comfortable?".  If you add the foam topper to the mattress and sleep like a baby, then it looks like you made the right decision.  As far as we know, the Washington Beautyrest model is a new 2010 Beautyrest.  If you can't find any information when google searching "Beautyrest Washington", then that is a good indication it's new.  Most names from previous line ups will pull up some sort of old sales add, blog post, or mattress review about it.  To find out what your mattress is, there is a satin ID label sewn to the quilting of the mattress, on the right side of the bed near the foot(often confused with the law label sewn to the center of the quilting at the head of the bed).  The satin ID label should say "Washington Plush Firm" with a Classic, Annivarsary, World Class, or Exceptionale design above it(will state the class).  If you have any questions, you can e-mail us a picture of the satin ID label and we can help you identify the bed.  I hope this helps!  Call us toll free at 866-799-0048 if you have more quesitons.

Q: My wife and I really like the Simmons Elderberry Cushion Firm from Macy\'s. Do you sell and equivalent mattress?
- John D
A: Hi John,

Thanks for your question.  We do have an equivalent model on our website.  It's called the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Edgertown Visco Plush Firm on our website at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1131.  The Edgertown and Elderberry models feature the same World Class coil system with the Firm coils and the same foam layers in the upholstery, including a layer of NxG visco foam.  These newer world class models feature some high quality transflexion foams that hold up great over time.  Our Edgertown Plush Firm sets are on sale for Queen size $1,299, King Set $1,599, price includes mattress, foundations, shipping in 2-3 weeks, white glove delivery and installation, and no sales tax(except in NC and CA).  Please call us toll free at 866-799-0048 to place an order or ask more questions.  Thanks again for your question!

Q: I slept on a Simmons Felicity mattress in a hotel a few months ago and thought it was perfect! I have been told that the names of the mattresses change, do you know what Simmons model is comparable now? Thank you!
- Melinda Warden
A: Hi Melinda,

Thanks for participating on our column.  We are familiar with the Felicity mattress Simmons features in so many hotels across the country.  We'll post the detailed foam layer of the Felicity below:

Beautyrest® World Class® Felicity II Pillow Top:

Mattress Height:                14"

Quilting:                            1.2 oz. FR Fiber
                                                      3/4" Firm Purfoam, 1 1/2" Convoluted Foam

Upholstery:                        1" Convoluted Foam
Deck:                                1" Convoluted Foam

Coil Unit:                            Beautyrest® 980 Density Pocketed Coil® Springs
                                                  with 360° Foam Encased Edge Support

Coil Support:                        1" Bloc Foam

We have a model that is almost identical to this design.  Our mattress is called the World Class Ellsworth Plush Pillow Top on our website at http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=883.  Here are the specific foam layers for the Ellsworth:

Foam Layers
.Quilt Layers
    TB 41 FR Fiber
    3/4" P50 Pure Foam
    3/4" P50 Foam
    Celestra
. Summit Deck
   1 1/2" P22 Convoluted Foam
. Upholstery Layers
   1 1/2" Furniture Grade 11 ILD Foam
. Under Coil Support
   1" Bloc Foam

These models are both smaller pillow tops in the World Class line that gives the mattress a supportive feel while the emphasis is still on comfort.  Beautyrest Pillow Tops with visco or latex foam tend to be thicker and not exactly the same feel.  Compare these two and let us know if you have any questions.  You can call us toll free at 866-799-0048 to place an order or to inquire about lead times and pricing.  Thanks!

Q: I'll describe my sleeping pattern, and hopefully use proper terminology to ask my question. I have had a Sealy Posturpedic "Silverado" King size for about 9 years. I've always liked the mattress, but after adding a featherbed to this I thought it was an incredibly comfortable combination. My question is this. Now that I'm looking to replace the mattress, should I be looking for a ultra-plush pillowtop type mattress? Or does it make more sense to buy something plush, add a featherbed, and swap out the featherbed every so often to achieve the same pillowtop feel? Also based on my description above, do you have any suggestions for me? The whole process is so confusing. Thank you.
- Jeffrey Mckenna
A:

Hi Jeff,

Adding comfort layers on top of a medium firm mattress is a very popular alternative to Pillow Top beds.  It's best if you have some experience with what kind of topper you like the best or has worked in the past.  Another mattress to consider if you like a Pillow Top comfort level is a Tempur-Pedic.  Tempur-Pedic's are at putting luxurious, pressure releaving comfort and conforming support together into one bed.  Tempur Foam is sensitive and will consistently return to it's origional shape time after time.  Our most recommended model is the Rhapsody, http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=711.  This has been our most succesful bed with the best customer feedback reporting overall improvement of sleep.

Q: Hi Andrew, Some time ago, my wife abd I purchased a Paris SPT Plush World Class set. We paid 2799.99 for the frame, box spring, and Mattress. We began having problems with the unit within the first 60 days. Customer service and sleep train finally replaced the mattress with a World Class LeBlanc Plush. Have we been taken advantage of in this situation?
- Chris
A: Hi Charles,

The Paris and the LeBlanc are the same mattress.  The newer model is built with better foams in the upholstery.  I would be interested to hear your feedback after the same time period lapses.  The foams they uses are transflexion foams which are precompressed and should hold up better.  Be sure to shop around before buying another mattress if that were ever the case.  $2,799 is about $1,200 more than we sell our equilavent mattress for at an every day sale price.  If they have some sort of price guarentee, you should see if they'll honor it.  Here's a link to our equivalent model, transflexion foams/visco memory foam and all:

Simmons Beautyrest World Class Edgertown Plush Super Pillow Top - http://sdmattress.com/store/index.php?prodid=1135

Check out their detailed specs.  These are the same exact mattress.
