[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had a semi firm mattress so I was excited to try out this firm mattress for the extra back support it would offer. The mattress was a bit taller than my last mattress so having my stairs helped to get in the bed as I have a box spring as well. The first thing I noticed was how the firmness came all the way to the edge so it was a nice surprise that when you sit on the edge of the bed it doesn’t slope. I sleep on my side a lot and this is a definite bonus. This also is amazing to know as when my husband moves during the night, it doesn’t wake me up as it is that firm. The first night sleeping on this mattress made me question if this was going to work as the mattress is super firm, not hard but super firm. After the third night I was getting used to the firmness and by the fourth night I knew this was going to work just fine. I questioned whether I should add a mattress topper to provide a bit of cushion but after the fifth night realized that isn’t needed as it just took time to get used to the mattress. I get hot during the night and this mattress has a cooling feature that is noticeable as I haven’t woken up overheated at all. My opinion is that this mattress is a hit and I definitely recommend it.

After only 6 weeks this mattress began to breakdown and bulge out on one side. This is my second mattress that was poor quality. The first one began to have indentations after only 7 months, but it was not extra firm. Only two normal weight (not obese) adults use this mattress and it's very well take care of. We never sit on the side of the bed as we have chairs in the dressing room. And we have no tv in the room, so it is only used for sleeping and it just does not hold up. Very frustrating. I believe that most mattresses are made with poor quality these days. Will be returning this one and try to find another brand with higher quality materials.

So far, I have little to no back and hip pain after sleeping 2 nights on this mattress. That’s fantastic!! However, the first night I was very hot and didn’t feel that the mattress was “cooling” at all, despite the brutal cold outside and the 64 degree temp in the house. Last night I had the furnace turned down to 64, turned on the overhead fan to cool me and slept better. But does the mattress really have a cooling element? It didn’t seem like it the first night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a fan of firm mattresses but have found that I will need to get over that, because as I get older, my back doesn't tolerate really soft mattresses. My biggest complaint about the firm mattresses I've tried is that it felt like I was sleeping on the floor! But the Beautyrest mattress is different, it's firm but also cozy! I can lay on it and feel comfortable and that makes a huge difference to me. I definitely feel the support! My back is a fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always always always had a difficult time sleeping. Any bed i have ever slept on causes me so much discomfort its unreal. I toss and turn all night long and by morning im exhausted and in dire pain. The Beautyrest extra firm mattress has saved my back, my sanity and my self from going insane due to sleep deprivation. I cant explain how much comfort i tet out of my mattress now. I sleep all night and im not in any pain. I sleep well and wake up rested. Im able to get up and stsrt my day without dragging and being in pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thing I really love about this mattress is that it has a very "plush" soft feeling, yet somehow, it's still very supportive. When I lay on it, there is no indentation where my body weight pushes the mattress down, like you'd normally have on a soft mattress or a memory foam. It's very supportive and still feels plush and cloud like to lay on. Supposedly, it has a "dynamic response memory foam" in it. If you have slept on memory foam before and didn't like the feel of it...this is nothing like your typical memory foam mattress. It does not give that same contour feeling where your body molds to the shape of the mattress. If that's what you're looking for, this might not be right for you. If you want a mattress that supports your body, yet still feels cozy and soft...it's great! I can't speak to the longevity of the mattress, but I know Beautyrest has a good reputation, so hopefully it'll last a long time. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best mattresses I’ve ever used before the extra firm was a little intimidating at first since I’ve always been used to regular firm but also felt I was missing something until resting three full nights in this extra firm mattress, I woke up feeling super rested and no aches or soreness my back felt great I definitely would recommend this extra firm mattress to anyone who has back problems or no problems just want a better nights rest!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's an 3-inch verycomfortable pillow-topped,hypo allergenic. 15-inch queenmattress. Total hight- 15.3 inches. It fits a standard queen bed frame perfectly. You don't have to use a box spring. Although, I am using a box spring. Because I love the extra height. The website recommended using a very thin pad. Similar to a yoga mat to protect the mattress. I highly recommend this mattress for a good nightsvrest

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this mattress. I have been looking for a comfortable mattress that is not too firm and not too soft and this one fits exactly what I needed. I suffer with lower back problems and this mattress is nice and thick and gives me the support I need. I plan on replacing my other mattresses with some of these.
