Good question. So we generally don't cover Costco models, but just looking at the specs online, the BR Silver is going to have a fair bit more comfort material than the PressureSmart. However, the PressureSmart will have a slightly higher coil density. Basically, we'd expect the BR Silver to feel a bit softer at the surface but have a very similar feel once you get down to the coils. Here's a comparison of the two closest models in the Harmony Line: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=beautyrest-harmony-quilted-beachfront-bay-plush&mod=beautyrest-harmony-quilted-cypress-bay-plush-pillow-top

Do you think it’s soft enough for a 140lbs person?

So there are going to be a few subtle differences there. First, there'll be a slightly different quilt with a different fabric. Second, the internal foam layers are similar, though they are arranged slightly differently and the Series 1 includes some upgraded foam densities. This will give the Series 1 a little less memory feel and a little more bounce. Third (and this is perhaps most noteworthy), the coil unit on the B-Class is a zoned unit with a reinforced center third, whereas the Series One is a uniform firmness throughout. On an extra firm model this is probably not going to be that noticeable however. Net, both are pretty similar. Hope that helps! Here's a more comprehensive side-by-side summary of the similarities and differences: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=beautyrest-black-b-class-extra-firm&mod=beautyrest-black-series-1-extra-firm

Great question. The ProAdapt Firm has a bit less Tempur Material and will feel pretty firm. The LuxeAdapt has more Tempur Material but will actually feel slightly firmer but with more cushioning depth. The LuxeAdapt also adds a zoned transition layer for a bit of extra support in the hips. Here's a full side-by-side comparison of the two with more details: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=tempur-pro-adapt-firm&mod=tempur-luxeadapt-firm Hope that helps!

@@goodbed It does! Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Brent -- Sorry to hear about your experience. FWIW, while any problem with the product certainly falls to Nectar, the customer service on this is 100% the responsibility of the retailer. This is a big part of what Amazon is getting paid for when you purchase through them. So the run-around you're experiencing is really on their shoulders, not Nectar's. For future reference, while I purchase many things from Amazon, there are many much better sources from which I'd recommend purchasing a mattress. I hope that's helpful.

You're right to be a little bit skeptical here! With Beautyrest, these are actually coil *densities*, which are sometimes still reported as counts. Basically what this means is that the 1000 number would be accurate if instead of having a foam encasement there were coils that extended all the way to the edge (as per older constructions). This means that across the vast majority of the mattress (ie, the part you sleep on), you are still getting the benefit of that same 1000 count arrangement, however the actual total count is somewhat less than 1000 because the edge coils are replaced by the foam perimeter. Different brands may report this somewhat differently, so it can indeed get confusing. But from our perspective, it does make sense to show coil densities because 1) these are the coil numbers that are most commonly cited by brands that DO use foam encasement, and 2) they are the closest thing to an apples to apples comparison with coil numbers from other brands that do NOT use foam encasement. I hope that helps.

@@goodbed I guess that makes sense.. but I rather have an accurate count.. The trouble is foam encasement vs Edge coil designs I suppose? I noticed the Englander site stating 789 coils for one of the designs, but also writing 1057 as total count on same bed. This is similar to what Sealy does for the Posturepedic plus line around "Satisified II" (1072 coils on Queen).. but CORE count is obviously less. In fact the Tempur/Sealy hospitality line markets Edge and Core coils separately on stuff like Gaffney used in hotels... (Internal metrics for those who care?) I guess I just hate the misleading aspect of it all.. Most Queens do indeed have around 800 "core count", though it goes off in multiple directions when marketing wants to argue advantages. So what is density? you can only go so small in a design without being detrimental based on AWG wire gauge.. I've always viewed this as "count", but with microcoils and intellcoils.. I guess the marketing is endless.

@@jaszjsz You've nailed it. It's very very confusing and there's not a clear universal standard. We try to account for this in our own data, but it's tough to track down all of it. And on the 789 vs 1057 - I suspect those are actually two different coil units from Leggett and Platt. The 1057 is usually the Quantum Edge Elite and the 789 is usually the Quantum Edge with Caliber Edge Coils at the head and foot. It's complicated!

@@goodbed Oh don't get me started.. Sherwood also uses "789" count + Quantum edge.. but doesn't have a second value. I asked them directly in an email, but I got the standard PR response and the guy didn't seem to know much. They sell an encase bed with 770 coils.. You can't tell me the Quantum edge model is only 789 total vs something like a Sealy posturepedic Plus. It insane to me because Sherwood does private label Sealy's themselves for box stores. Edit: Im proven wrong.. it really is 789.. the elite just adds header and footer coils..hence diff.

and I think youre correct.. its weird that they used both on one product.. So both Sherwood and modern Englander use them as an OEM.. Makes sense

It's a good question to ask on every brand as different brands tend to vary their constructions in different ways. In the case of the Perfect Sleeper collection, they tend to use the same amount of foam but vary the firmness of this foam. The coil units also tend to be the same. Hope that helps!

@@goodbed thank you again

So this is a bit tricky. The Purple Gel Grid is a very unique material, and it's tough to predict how people will respond to it. That said, if your primary concern is pressure relief the Rejuvenate Line is probably going to be the best option, as these use soft and conforming foams above the Gel Grid to maximize pressure relief. You can actually compare these with our compare tool here if you'd like: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=purple-rejuvenate&mod=purple-restoreplus-firm

P.S. forgot to specify that I am a side sleeper. 🙂

Hey there! This is a fantastic question and actually something we were discussing this week. The specs for these models are somewhat confusing online, and we pride ourselves on having the best information on these things. To answer your question, I'd generally expect the Auroras to be softer than the Spartans. The Spartan is listed as having less comfort material (though this was a relatively recent change, as it used to be identical to the Aurora). The Aurora Lux Soft and PT will both be quite soft, and the best choice there is likely going to be based on your preference for a smooth top vs a quilted cover. A quilted cover adds more foam, but the fabric itself tends to be a bit stiffer and this can sometimes add a bit of firmness too. So bottom line, the Aurora's are likely to be softer, but the regular Aurora vs the PT is largely going to come down to preference.

@@goodbed Unbelievably helpful!! Thank you so much!

Good eye. So we generally thought these models were pretty close in overall feel, but with slight differences created by adding more comfort material. Sometimes adding more material (even soft material) can add a paradoxical firmness to a mattress (and this is particularly so if the foams haven't fully broken-in as of yet). So we'd actually put the Series One MPT and the Series Two MPT as fairly close in overall firmness. And with regards to durability - we do think these are an improvement yes. Specifically, the new Black Line has increased the density of their polyfoams, added latex on many models, and has generally used a slightly thicker coil than the previous generation. All of these slight adjustments should improve durability. And here are both on our Compare Tool: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=beautyrest-black-series-1-medium-pillow-top&mod=beautyrest-black-series-2-medium-pillow-top

Sorry to hear it Samuel. This sounds like a potential material failure with defective latex. You might even reach out to Birch sooner rather than later to see if there's any troubleshooting that can be done.

@@goodbed I agree! They sent me to the Warranty Claim Guide, which I will be following as soon as I get home and can test the mattress surface. Thank you for the response.

@@samueldonchess5963 Absolutely. Keep us posted if you can! I'll be curious to hear if things improve.

Hey there! Great question. So the Soft and the Medium use the same foam, but the Soft version is convoluted (this means it's contoured like an egg crate foam). This process of convolution actually softens the foam by about 25-40% in our experience. The Firm version actually uses a firmer foam and will be a fair bit firmer still. Otherwise all of these use about an inch of upholstery under the quilt. Hope that helps!

@@goodbed awesome..would a firm become like a medium over time? thank you for responding

@@genahebert4 In this case, probably not. DLX uses true HD foams, which will break-in less than other foams that you might be familiar with. So a firm is likely to stay firm and a medium is likely to stay medium. I hope that's helpful.

@@goodbed ok thank you

Hey Jeff! So this is a difficult question. But generally speaking, we don't really believe in a universal "best" mattress for all sleepers and we think that top ten lists recommending "best mattresses" tend to just be marketing tools designed to sell products. If you'd like to get a sense of the best mattress for you, we'd recommend taking a look at our Quiz and setting the filters on our website to under 2,000 dollars. This will give you a sense of the entire market (both online and local to you) in this price point. You can find this here: www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/?price=2000

Thanks for the input! And we largely agree - these just aren't built for long-term regular use.

@@goodbed Yeah, they are good for the money though. Maybe I was a bit harsh. For a guest room, small/petite people or the like they would be great.

Which one? We just ordered on as well. C class PT Medium.

Our pleasure -- thanks so much for taking the time to let us know it was helpful for you!

Hi Greg, Yes check out the section on temperature starting at 11:10. 👍

Great, very glad these videos were helpful for you, Theresa! Did you use our links when you purchased so you can get an additional $50 back from us on your purchase?

Hey Kevin! We'll take a look at the comparison tool today. Otherwise these are fairly different mattresses. The DLX Classic is a classic two-sided design with HD foams and minimal upholstery. The PressureSmart 1.0 is a one-sided design with non-HD foams and slightly more upholstery. Both could be good options for you, though I might lean towards recommending the DLX Classic in Medium (either 12" or 14") just because the foams there are true HD foams. And I'd expect the "Medium" to be close to medium-firm and would be likely to work well with your topper. Hope that helps!

Hi Kevin -- Sorry for the delay in getting our ratings data uploaded for the DLX models. FYI, you can now find all of them in our Compare tool: www.goodbed.com/compare/

I wouldn't recommend that. However, adding plywood or a boardlike material *under* the mattress could firm the overall mattress up a bit and help you get by in the meanwhile. You could also try moving the mattress to the floor and see if that firms it up at all. Otherwise it's very hard to add firmness to a mattress!

Hey there! So great question. A quilted top mattress will absolutely feel different than a Tempur. There are new BR Black Hybrids that are slated to hit the market later this year, but we haven't seen an exact release date on these as of yet. These are likely to feel more similar to the Tempur Adapt (though not the same). Still, the Series 3 is a very high quality mattress and could work well for you. It's just likely to feel very different relative to the Adapt!

@@goodbed thanks I decided to purchase the Tempurpedic.

Good question. This is sometimes hard to answer, as many brands won't talk about the details of the fire barriers in their mattresses. However, we can offer a general guiding principle here in that quilted top models are much much less likely to have fiberglass fire barriers. These are typically only found in smooth, stretch-knit hybrid mattresses. Hope that helps.

So we've discussed the Costco Supreme line internally, and some of the choices there don't make a ton of sense to us? Namely, they seem to reverse the Comfort and Support layers on these models to keep them distinct from the regular Adapt line. And while this could be a mistake on their website, we generally feel more comfortable recommending the Adapt models for this reason. Otherwise they seem very similar. Hope that helps.

Sorry we missed this question and we're sorry to hear that you've been suffering with this. In the case of the above models, there are very few details on these and we're not sure that either would be a very good option for you. It sounds like you need a lot more pressure relief and more conformance whilst maintaining firm underlying support. We'd probably recommend something like a memory foam mattress or even a Tempur-Pedic here. The memory foam will allow for more pressure relief and the firm underlying base foam should hold you in proper alignment. That said, it sounds like you do have some specific needs, so please feel free to reach out to us on the chat function on our website if we can be of further help here.

@@goodbed Thank you so much for responding. You seem to have more Sealy expertise than anyone. I was able to try the Sealy Sudley in person finally a few days ago and it felt pretty close but was just a little too firm. Maybe if it sank in 1/8-1/4" more it would have been almost perfect. I am a side sleeper and need enough give to stop the numbness on my elbows, arms and shoulders. It seems springs would give more even support as you mentioned in other videos. I never had issues with numbness with spring mattresses. I have had nothing but trouble with memory foam always sinking in too much and it contouring too tight at 220lbs. I ask about the Autumn Ash because it seems very similar to the Sudley but with thicker foam, but still supportive springs. I tried several memory foams and they all felt like they contoured too closely and caused more numbness. It looks exactly like the Sealy Sudley diagram at 3:13 and you might be laying on the Sudley at 3:16? Do you know if there is any difference in coil gauge between the Sealy Sudley and Sealy Autumn Ash? Would the Autumn Ash have softer more giving springs or is the soft rating only referring to the extra foam thickness? Sorry for the long post but this is pretty serious having had recent surgery for Cervical Myelopathy. The numbness always gets worse when laying down so I somehow need to figure out the right mattress

@@bmp713 So I'm looking at the Sudley on the Mattress Firm website, and I don't see much comfort material at all there. I'd be very concerned that this could cause tingling/numbness and/or could cut off circulation for folks that are susceptible to this. The Autumn Ash looks to use the same coil unit, but just has more comfort material up top. Truthfully, I'm not sure that either would be a good fit for you with what you're describing as these might break-in to have uncomfortable pressure points. Did anything else feel good to you in the store?

​@@goodbed I greatly appreciate your advice. Most of the mattresses I tried were either too firm causing more pressure, or the memory foam layer(s) sank in too much leaving a tight imprint around my arms, shoulders and back creating more pressure. At 220lbs and a side sleeper it seems almost all memory foam forms a tight imprint of my body rather than sinking down more evenly. It seems like I need something that sinks in more evenly spread over my body, not contouring tightly around the outline of my body. It seems springs are designed to do this more even sinking rather than tightly contouring. I don't know if different types of foam might sink more evenly such as poly foam. I also need a flat surface because the ridges on most mattresses also create more pressure points. It seems what would be best is some kind of spring mattress or non memory foam mattress that sinks in enough to relieve the numbness on the sides of my body, but does not contour tightly around my body creating more pressure. What kind of mattress would would sink in far enough to relieve pressure on my sides but more evenly than the memory foam that too tightly contours? What kind of spring mattress might have this more evenly distributed support? What kind of foam might have this more evenly distributed support?

@@bmp713 Hmmm. So what I'm hearing is that you've had issues with some kinds of memory foam and some kinds of quilted top and textured surfaces. If that's the case, then you might look for smooth top "hybrid" mattresses with less memory foam (less than 1.5") or another specialty foam like a latex-like foam or latex. Off the top of my head, some of the Posturepedic Hybrids might be a good option? The Albany Posturepedic Plus and base Posturepedic hybrids both use 1.5" or less of memory foam. These also have smooth, untextured surfaces and should distribute weight well. As a way of double-checking myself, I made a quick list of models with smooth top surfaces and minimal memory foam using our search tools: www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/?surface-type=2&memory-feel=1

So we did not have that experience with the quilted pattern. In fact, we'd describe the quilt as very soft and very quality overall. Still, different people tend to feel things differently, and it's not unheard of for people to dislike very specific things about mattress quilt layers.

These all have 10 year warranties, I think anything Serta already has a pretty good reputation for holding up. I just bought a King Blue Lagoon Nights 13.5 medium. It's a very nice mattress (great initial quality) firmer than expected but we both came from 100% memory foam the last 10+ years. This mattress is also known as the Nurture night on discount websites and can be had close to 50% off if you shop for sales and find coupons. I paid $600 delivered from BB&B.

We're sorry to hear that. Can we ask how long have you had the ProAdapt Hybrid? It's possible that it might still be breaking-in and your alignment may improve in the coming weeks.

Thanks so much for your kind words -- I'm very glad they've been helpful for you!

Yep! We think so.

Hey there! Looks like it's been a few weeks. How's it going?

Hi Lee -- Thanks for your question. Glad to help. I'm not surprised the Series 3 Plush PT was too soft and deep, since it's at the far end of the spectrum for both of those characteristics. Also not too surprised that the Series 3 Medium was a little firm for your wife's hips, but I am a little surprised that this would be the case for the Series 4 Medium Summit PT. Might be worth giving that one another look. Looking at the other 3 you're considering, I think the Series 3 Medium PT looks like the best bet for you guys. It's got less cushioning depth than the ones you said were too deep, but enough to offer some conformance for a lighter side sleeper. Overall, it's pretty close to the Series 2 Medium PT in feel, but I think it will be a little better for your wife in terms of pressure relief and conformance. Relative to the Series 4 Medium Summit PT that you tried, it will have a little less softness, a little less cushioning depth, and a little less memory feel, but it should perform similarly in terms of pressure relief and spinal alignment. I think you might like looking at a side-by-side comparison between the 3 you're considering and 2 of the ones you tried (I had to leave off the Series 3 Medium since I can only show 5 at a time and that was the one that seemed like it was the least apt for you guys). The ones you tried are on the left and the ones you're considering are on the right. www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=beautyrest-black-series-3-plush-pillow-top&mod=beautyrest-black-series-4-medium-summit-pillow-top&mod=beautyrest-black-series-2-medium-pillow-top&mod=beautyrest-black-series-2-plush&mod=beautyrest-black-series-3-medium-pillow-top I hope that's helpful!

Thanks for your thorough reply!

Hi again Mike- tried the C-class plush in store today and it was soft and not too deep cushioning and no pressure for wife on her side-would the series 2 plush be the closest to that? Or the series 2 or 3 medium pillow top?

@@leealbert4485 Hey again Lee - I think your instincts are correct here. The Series 2 Plush or the Series 2 or 3 Medium Pillow Top would be the next options to try. Keep us posted if you can!

Hi Linda -- Very glad this was helpful for you. We've looked at the Premier Hybrid but not had an opportunity to do an in-depth review. Those are a one-sided construction so there is indeed more comfort and transition foam between you and the support layer. Not surprisingly, our first blush take was that this gives them more softness and cushioning depth than the Classic 12" ones we reviewed here. Off the top of my head, if I were trying to place the DLX models in order from firmest (1) to softest (9), it might look something like this: Classic 12 Firm - 2 Classic 12 Medium - 3 Classic 12 Soft - 4 Premier Firm - 4 Classic 14 Medium - 4 Premier Medium - 5 Classic 14 Soft - 6 Premier Soft - 6 I hope that's helpful.

@@goodbed What would be better for a side sleeper 200 lbs, the 12 inch soft or 14 inch medium? I'm worried the 14 inch soft would be too soft.

@@willadair6178 We'd probably recommend trying the 14" in Medium there. This'll have a bit more insulation over the underlying coil unit than the 12" model. Hope that's helpful.

Hey there! The ProBreeze does indeed have more cooling features. If cooling is a priority, then that'd be the one we'd recommend. Hope that helps!

@@goodbed thanks! Lastly is luxebreeze combination of luxe adapt and probreeze? Is it a big difference from probreeze to luxebreeze? Thanks again 🙏

@@evox6245 You've nailed it yep! The LuxeBreeze models are the slightly more conforming models in the overall Breeze Collection.

Ha, no in fact we would love to find a way to make them even shorter, but this is short as we can make it and still cover all the information that we think is important for consumers to know! Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm very glad you found this helpful.

Hi Angela -- I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, but a couple things to note here that might help clarify. First is that every manufacturer is different in how they evaluate softness, what they measure, and what they consider to be soft, firm, medium, etc. This is why we have a unified scale that we apply very consistently across all brands and products. Second is are you sure the S&F scale is the same as ours? On our scale, 9 is the softest and 1 is the firmest. I hope that's helpful.

Hi Angela -- Thank you for your kind words! I think you may be getting confused by the numbers we provided. On our scale, a higher number means softer, with 9 being the softest, 1 being the firmest, and 5 being right smack in the middle. So if we said one mattress is a 6 and the other is a 5, that means the 6 is a little softer. I hope that's helpful. FWIW, if you're curious about why we do it this way, it's because "firmness" isn't really a design feature on any mattresses made in the past 30 years -- firmness is merely the lack of cushioning with the floor being the ultimate example of "firm". Thus rating mattresses on a "firmness scale" is backwards -- it would be like rating lightbulbs on a "darkness scale," where the highest rating is the darkest, and the lowest is the brightest. Unfortunately, a lot of fly-by-night mattress review websites have popped up in recent years and, in their lack of any expertise about mattresses, have adopted a "firmness" scale. This has added a lot of confusion to the market, and even caused some manufacturers to feel the need to fit their info to this backward scale. Hopefully as consumers get wiser, these sites will eventually go out of business, but until then we are left with this unfortunate confusion. Have a great day.

Hi Angela -- I just looked at the 3 models you mentioned and we actually rate all 3 of them VERY similar on their softness levels. All 3 of them are a Medium, and when I look at the decimal points on our ratings (which we don't publish), they're even pretty close within the Medium classification. That said, we did find some differences between these 3 models on our Cushioning Depth scale (which some manufacturers, including the parent company of Stearns & Foster, conflate with softness). Cushioning Depth is what determines the amount of sinkage and conformance you get on the mattress, which CAN be related to the amount of pillowy softness a mattress has, but isn't always. (Think of an ultra firm Tempur-Pedic mattress that you eventually sink deeply into as a good example of how these characteristics can be very divergent.) The Firm EPT had the least amount of sinkage, which gave it the lowest cushioning depth rating. While the Medium EPT had the most sinkage and the most conformance, which gave it the highest cushioning depth. The Medium TT had more sinkage but less conformance, which put it in the middle. Here you can see a full side-by-side comparison of these three models: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=stearns-foster-lux-estate-firm-euro-pillow-top&mod=stearns-foster-lux-estate-medium-euro-pillow-top&mod=stearns-foster-lux-estate-medium-tight-top I hope that's helpful.
