Dream Bed
Dream Bed and Dream Bed Lux are all-foam mattresses similar to some of the newer arrivals to the online mattress space. The big difference is that rather than being a mattress startup, Dream Bed is a brand by Mattress Firm, which is one of the largest mattress companies on the market with retail stores Sleep Train, Mattress Discounters, and 1-800-MATTRESS as part of their enterprise. Their mattresses get good ratings from customers at first, but some had issues with durability. Looking for DreamCloud? See what customers say in our updated DreamCloud mattress review.
Simmons Beautyrest
Simmons Beautyrest® is a very well known brand that has invested in big advertising over the past several years. They have worked closely with major mattress retailers for generations and offer popular in-store options. With a variety of designs like the Beautyrest Black and Silver lines, Beautyrest is a brand to consider for many. However, not all Beautyrest models are equal, with some of their models having reports of durability issues and their newer online-direct models potentially offering more value.
Based on our aggregated reviews and our scoring method, we recommend Simmons Beautyrest in this match up!

Dream Bed's Owner Satisfaction
With data from customers, you can more accurately choose the right mattress. That said, it is sometimes difficult to stay focused with all of the reviews from countless brands. These mattresses are given mixed reviews by customers. Some customers are very pleased with their decision, but others are not so much.
Dream Bed's Supportiveness
Having a supportive mattress is a make or break for stomach and back sleepers. Side sleepers also need deeper support and a responsive mattress for their hips and shoulders. These mattresses offer sleepers above average support. However, others had issues with the support so if you have a heavier body type, make sure to do extra research.
Edge Support
Most agree with the edge support of these mattresses. That said, there were some mixed reviews about the edge support.
Dream Bed's Durability
Customers gives these mattresses mixed reviews on lasting comfort. We all want to find the perfectly comfortable durable mattress that lasts over 10 years, but sadly, not all mattresses are built for lasting comfort. If you are thinking about buying a mattress that has mixed feelings on durability, take a look at the price and trial policies to make sure you can stomach it if it by chance isn't as durable as hoped.
Simmons Beautyrest's Owner Satisfaction
Customer reviews can be hard to see from a high level -- especially with some companies moderating reviews. These mattresses, unfortunately, don't score as well with customers. There are still customers that really appreciate these beds, but many others that don't. Get more details on the specifics and hear from customers below.
Simmons Beautyrest's Supportiveness
Some customers don't like the kind of support these mattresses provide. Though some customers are pleased with these mattresses, if you have a heavier body type, do some added dilligence before purchasing.
Edge Support
For those that want quality edge support, you may want to read more reviews as some are unsatisfied with the edge support.
Simmons Beautyrest's Durability
These mattresses may not perform as well long term. Some sleepers have had problems with feel and durability over a shorter than average time. If you are search for longevity in a mattress and would consider yourself to have a larger body type, you may feel good initial comfort, but make sure to brush up on the warranty and return policy before buying.

This was easy to setup and came quickly as advertised. It's comfortable and I can't feel my spouse move in the night as well!

Bed in a box -- okay
Bought this bed after reading about its donation of a bed for a bed. What I didn't realize was that doing that may have made a less durable product. After a few weeks of having the mattress, I am noticing a bit of a dip in my bed. I have turned it over and it seemed to go away, but I am still concerned long term. Overall, pretty pleased with the mattress for the price though.
Good mattress but...
Good mattress but there seemed to be a very distinct odor when I got it. I know that it is Certipur so it shouldn't contain harmful chemicals, but it definitely reaks. But, once I fall asleep -- gotta say, boy am I comfortable. Can't complain about that!
Delivered a little late but still good
The delivery was supposed to come on a Thursday, but it didn't show up until late the following week. It definitely made for an uncomfortable week with the wife yelling on about her back pain, but luckily once we got the thing, it ended up being pretty darn comfortable. So in the end, I am happy.
Great mattress
Got the mattress last month and really loving it. I am sleeping like a baby!
Hottest bed ever
I ordered the Dream Bed original and no one should ever buy this. I am usually too cold at night, but this thing makes me claustrophobic and sweaty all night. It is like sleeping in hell.
Super comfy
I had a terrible Sealy mattress that started to poke my sides with its coils. But now, I am super comfy nightly in my Dream Bed. I wish this bed was around in the 90s because I would have bought one for all my kids. Now, I am just sleeping soundly and loving my new bed.
Hot and back pain
I am a heavy side sleeper and I thought that this dreambed was going to be good for me, but unfortunately, it is way too hot and also my back kills me when I wake up. I feel like I am sinking into the thing and already it has a big indent. I mean, I am not that fat, but this makes it seem like I am the world's biggest man. What the hell?!
Mistake
I had a plush top mattress before I bought the Dream Bed because of the price. I should have just kept with what I knew because the memory foam is not for me. It smells, hurts, and feels like I am sagging all the time. I wish that I had bought an innerspring, but I am stuck with it.
Love my Dream Bed
Can't complain about the dreambed. I got the twin for my daughter who is 7 and she absolutely loves it. We didn't even need a mattress topper because of how soft it is. She snuggles under all of her blankets and tells us how much she loves it every morning when we try to get her up for school. Only problem? She never wants to leave her bed.
Thanks to Dream Bed
No more pain! I had terrible pain with my traditional mattress, but the Dream Bed really has made this pain vanish. I was as surprised as anyone because I suffered an accident from falling off a ladder, and nothing would save my back. This bed has changed me though. I can't say enough good things!
Awesome Sleep
Sleeping so much better then ever. Thought my lack of falling asleep quickly was an issue I was having. But I’m not having any problem falling asleep with my new memory foam mattress. I also find I sleep without waking up often.
Nice supportive firm bed
Great bed! I have a bad back and it’s supportive and firm. When it was new it was very firm however it feels Egged when broken into.
In love
Absolutely love this mattress! Best sleep I've had.
Always stay with yout first choice
Went to one location and picked what we felt would be our perfect mattress, went to a second one and was talked out of it and so far not what we wanted but staying optimistic
Good mattress
The cooling on this mattress was fenominal, but it was a little too firm for our liking.
Too Firm?
We got the firm mattress and it may be too firm for our tastes. However we have been sleeping well and the mattress is clearly high quality. The 15 minute test in the store was not enough.
Getting HAPPY
Bed is firmer than store but I rather tgat than soft.
Great Mattresses
I really enjoy my new mattress, I was skeptical at first, but it turned out better than I imagined. It stays nice and cool.
Best bed ever!
I bought this mattress in February for our second home. We look forward to going so we can get a good nights sleep!! It is the most comfortable mattress I have ever had the pleasure of sleeping on.
Good Firm Bed but not as Cool as I hoped.
I have another memory foam bed and know they sleep warm. I had concerns about getting another one because I am a hot sleeper. The display mattress at store without sheets felt very cool when laying on it. When you get the mattress home with sheets its not as cool. I got a cooling memory foam topper and it still sleeps warm. In the winter time it will be heavenly but it the summer time not so great. My dogs love it and there's very little motion transfer. I would recommend it just not for people who sleep warm.
I like!
Very comfortable! I have a really bad back and usually wake up with pain in my back and shoulders with my old mattress. I have not had any pain so far. I am happy with my new mattress. I took off one star because it does sleep warm. That will be good for the winter time, but I wonder how it will feel in the warmer months.
Soft after 6 mos
I purchased this mattress on the recommendation of the salesman and on the guarantee that the foam is unlike memory foam and would not soften after a year. Initially the mattress was comfortable but now a year has past and the mattress is softer than any traditional mattress I have had previously and the sides are now softer & more broken down than the rest of the mattress ( and this is with a average size female sleeping in the bed). This mattress is just an overpriced memory foam mattress and it definitely will not hold up for 10 or 20 years. I would not recommend.
Great mattress
I bought this a month ago and I'm very happy with the mattress.
Jury is still out
The wife has adapted very well to the mattress . The jury is still out for me.
Great features!
I bought my bed a few weeks ago and I have enjoyed it ever since!! So comfortable!!
Very Comfortable
It is great....dream bed. It is so comfortable. I love it.
Heavenly Bed!
The manager treated us well. He really made sure we were comfortable on our choice, and followed-up to ensure we were happy.
Hate it
Bought the split king. My wife loves it. I hate it. It's hot, really hot. I move to the guest room everynight about 2 am. Wish I could get my old mattress back. Looks like we will be sleeping in seperate bed rooms.
I had an allergic reaction! And it kills my back!
Make sure you definitely let the bed air out! My husband loves the bed, so far for me it's just killing my back, had to sleep on the guest bed for a week just to be able to get around. I can't feel the cooling through the sheets and I have great sheets. I think the bed is over priced and I'm letting the first 30 days of this 120 trial period pass but it will be going back.
Very happy
I’ve had this for about a month and so far am VERY pleased.
Sublime sleep
We bought our mattress about a month ago, the service was excellent, the recommendations where right on target. I haven't slept this good in years. Mattress Firm has some really great selections with solid price ranges for everyone. Couldn't be happier
Comfy
I recently purchased this. So far it’s been a great sleep
Perfect for both of us!
We are a couple that has ALWAYS disagreed about our mattress. He likes firm, I like plush. I have to say though, this mattress has been perfect for both of us! We can both get a good nights sleep and be comfortable in our bed. It has the support of the firm my husband needs, and the comfort of the plush that I like. We have bought 3 different mattresses in the last 18 years and this has been the ONLY one we BOTH like! Inly draw back is I wish the side was a little bit firmer when I sit on it, but for sleeping it's perfect!
Incredibly comfortable, so satisfied
I love this mattress so much and was comparing it to a temperpedic, its awesome
Sleeping Better!
I bought this to take to my new home and it has helped to decrease my back pain. This bed was the best investment I could have made!
Nice mattress
My wife and I looked at all mattresses in store and was told it would be cooler to sleep on than the one we had but is warmer, we were showed the blue sealer on mattress and said It would cause it to be cooler, actually warmer than last, had to have the adjustable base though, and now finding problem to get sheet sets for the king split. You get two twin sheets, two cases but no king top sheet have to overlap the two twin top sheets, mess. Will see still have little time to decide on keep it or look at other ones there.
My favorite mattress ever!
I've been sleeping on the mattress for about a month-it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever owned! Previously had a TempurPedic, but this one is even better. It sleeps cool thanks to the cooling gel and is neither too hard or too soft. I bought the adjustable frame which works well with it, and the bundle with the mattress protector, bamboo sheets and cooling pillows. Now I need a tv in my bedroom so I can spend more time on this awesome mattress!
Not a comfortable Mattress
We back and traded for another mattress. Mattress was just uncomfortable.
Awesome Bed
Bought in July and is incredible. We sleep so nice. We love the bed. The only problem is getting out of it in the morning! I would highly recommend this bed for: People that have sleep issues, bad backs, heat/cold issues. This is the best bed we have ever owned. At age 60, we have had a lot. I would say invest the money now in this bed so you can sleep better and wake up refreshed.

This mattress felt great at first but after only 1 year started to sag on both sides, leaving a "hill" in the middle.
Now we are having back problems and so are replacing it after only a little more than a year. This is a horrible investment,
don't make this mistake.

Mattress is ok for few years but when it does go back, forget about the 10yrs warranty. Simmons will no honor it.. they will try to charge you as much or more for "upgrading the mattress" with no warranty on the replacement! I have filed complaints with BBB but they don't care.
Please file complaints if you have had any warranty issues so they are force to take of the customers!
Three Stars
Wished it was thicker
Steer clear of this mattress!
We just received this mattress today, and it is TERRIBLE! I am writing this review at 1:30am because I can't sleep on it. I have given up and am now lying on a foam topper placed on the bedroom floor, and I am much more comfortable here on the floor than I was in the bed.
The fabric on the mattress is stiff and of very low quality. This shouldn't be a problem because it's covered with a mattress pad and sheets anyway, but it still doesn't "give" for that plush feel. You sink into the mattress, which could be good, except you are met with hard springs and awful pressure points. My husband, a back sleeper, is already having terrible back pains after just a few hours. I'm a side-sleeper, and my shoulder and hip are killing me. I know they say a mattress needs time to settle, but I can't tolerate this bed for a few hours, much less a whole night. I will be returning this mattress.
On my 3rd replacement!
The cheapest made mattress we have ever purchased. I have now had 2 of these mattresses, the first was ripped and sagged in the middle right out of the package. They (nationwide retailer) replaced it with another and it is as bad, if not worse. It squeaks so bad and is so cheap. I paid over $1,300 for a king set and it is completely useless to us. It makes so much noise and racket every time you move. I will never buy anything with the Beautyrest name.
Four Stars
Met expectations
This is the Worst worst worst bed ever
This is the Worst worst worst bed ever!!!!!
The worst purchase we ever made. If you have back or hip issue potential, this bed will bring it out! I hate this miserable, awful bed!
If Stephen King were to write about a pain inflicting bed, this bed would be it!!!
Big item no problems !
Beautiful comfortable bed delivered thru Amazon just as easily as ordering a small item
Delivered fast and easily. We are quite happy. Excellent quality !

Hills and valleys
Had this restored spirits five years.the last three years were hell. My husband wouldn’ Sleep on it. Contacted Simmons for inspection and replacement. No go. I have spent weeks reading reviews. I am sleeping on this any longer. Moved to guest room until I find new mattress. I will never buy another beauty rest.
A little too firm for me
Thought I ordered the plush mattress, but received the firm. Trying to adjust to this mattress. Good price and good quality.
Comfortable mattress that does not sag.
I could not be happier with the pillow top mattress that I recently purchased. The pillow top seems to help me sleep better and is better for me to sleep on since I have arthritis. The mattress fabric is of excellent quality.
Good mattress.
This mattress is nice and comfortable. Good deal. I picked this mattress out online. I've never bought a mattress online before. Fortunately, it worked out. Good choice.
This is a fabulous mattress
The mattress is nice and firm, pillow top just as I ordered. I was very surprised at the excellent quality of the mattress. Have got no response to the advertised gift card. It was supposedly mailed separately 2 weeks ago
Love, Love, Love this mattress.
I tried many mattresses in 4 different stores one Saturday and most were fine but as soon as I lay on this Simmons Beautyrest, something felt different. I walked around and tried a few more then came back to the Beautyrest. I knew it was the one - perfect pillow top yet firm as I like it. No more sleepless, tossing and turning nights!
Not for a person with a bad back
Purchased the Silver but only kept it 3 weeks. Was good the first week but by the second week started to break down. By the third week it was squishy and made my back worse. If you have a bad back don't buy a pillow top. They tell me now that I am returning the mattress. Penney's does not refund your money so am having to buy a different mattress. Originally told I had up to 100 days but that is no longer true, it is now 48 hours. Who can tell if a mattress is right for you in 48 hours. Wish I had not purchased my mattress from Penney's. Buyer beware.
Not what I expected
VERY DISAPPOINTED. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. THIS QUEEN SIZE MATTRESS COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE WORTH APPROXIMATELY 1800.00(I DID NOT PAY THIS PRICE) BUT IT'S NOT WORTH THAT PRICE! JUST NOT SATISFIED. SEEMS CHEAP, NOT TOO COMFORTABLE. DOES NOT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SLEEPING ON A CLOUD, NO WAY! I PURCHASED ONLINE, BIG MISTAKE! GO TO STORE PERSONALLY TO CHOOSE YOUR MATTRESS.
Excellent product, I just love the firmness!
I think this is an excellent mattress. The only thing was the delay in getting the mattress whic paritally was my fault since I ordered the wrong one at first. Oerall I am very pleased with it!
Great mattress
I thought it would be a little softer on the top but I still sleep great.
This product is not as firm as I expected.
This product is not as firm as I expected. I was hoping it would get better as i get used to with it but have not seen the result as of yet.
NOT AS FIRM AS I WOULD LIKE
It seems to be very well made; movement dampening is good. If you want something firm, this probably isn't what you want. I am a stomach sleeper and the plush doesn't really support the arch of your back.
Best Bed
This bed is very comfortable. It's like sleeping on a cloud. Great buy.
Not a good value
Mattress feels like its years old already with height changes that make it uncomfortable
the first 2 weeks has been great !
Most mattress start out great, the real test is over time. We hope it last years as it should with out sagging or breaking down
Great product, great value!
I love this mattress! Quality is great and the opportunity to use coupons and earn rewards is awesome! The company that delivered the mattress was great also.
This Mattress Is Better Than Advertised, It's So Comfortable!
I was looking for a firm mattress, and found it in this Simmons Beautyrest Silver Snowhaven Luxury Firm Mattress! It's A Five Star Rated Bed, That I Guarantee Will Give You A Five Star Night's Sleep!!
Not as hoped for
Problems with delivery, didn't get it until over a month after ordering even though we're home 4 days out of the week. After only a couple of months with the new mattress, it already has 2 slightly sunken spots where we lay, and we are not overweight people. I've heard that Simmons makes a better mattress if you are willing to pay a lot more, but this apparently isn't one of those.
Best sale price available at the time.
previous mattress was a Beautyrest plush king. Wanted a little more firmness but full firm was too much. The luxury firm was just right. Took a week or so to get used to the extra firmness but now we love it. Also, this mattress is nice and thick so it works well on a platform style frame without the need for box springs.
Wonderful Mattress!!!
For the first time in months I slept like a baby the very first night I got this mattress. Firm yet extremely comfortable. I just love it. I tried a Saatva brand luxury firm mattress and it was terrible. I had to come back to Beautyrest and I'm glad I did.
Very comfortable
The salesman was so easy to work with. And the delivery men were great.
Very comfortable bed
This is my first bed purchase without actually trying the specific bed first, I tried a few out at the local store and then saw this described online. I was nervous but the product is actually good. Only complaint is it took over two weeks for delivery
This mattress is great buy.
This mattress is great buy. I originally planned to get a tempur pedic. I then switched to a Stearns and Foster. In the end this was the best mattress at a great a price. It was more in my budget.
Nicely made mattress..perfect for a good nights sleep!
We finally chose this new mattress after much research. We were scared of so many choices available, but not a lot of positive reviews on most of them. With backaches every morning for my husband for awhile now, & now mine starting to hurt, we knew it was time to take the leap & buy a new one. I was shopping at Penney's for towels while my husband waited in car, when I seen the mattress sale. So I went & got him & made him lay on a few. He chose this one & the very first night he slept like a baby, & has ever since. We both wake up with no soreness already. It is a tall mattress & we bought a new box spring as well, so we have to slide down out of bed. But we love the height of it right now. And maybe as we get older we'll have to get a step on each side, or go with the standard bed frame. We have a lovely vintage oak bed with side rails, so both pieces had to sit on that. So it is tall now! So if you need lower, suggest buying just the mattress & sitting it on the plywood (as suggested for warranty)..I would still like both pieces even if I had the lower frame. So we love it & would recommend it. Pretty too! Love the navy blue sides.
Great Decision
It is so difficult to choose a mattress that you have confidence in, but this mattress is great! It is firm but well cushioned. It is also beautiful. The excellent delivery and set-up service is also appreciated. Virginia Jones
My daughter loved it!
My daughter loves her new mattress. She actually took her thousand stuffed animals off the bed so she could really enjoy it.
Great
This bed is very comfortable, I would recommend to anyone.
this product has simple and easy features
simple only need 1 no need for box spring and comfort is amazing .. fits to you.. feeling someone else kicking is very mim.
Delivered when quoted.
Price was great, had to wait on delivery, but received when quoted by very nice employees an they removed old one. Mattress is firm but must be covered by mattress cover for warranty i believe.
