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.
Spa Sensations
Spa Sensations is a brand of affordable foam mattress that is commonly sold at Walmart and Amazon -- they are made by Zinus, a Chinese-made mattress company. Their mattresses are extremely affordable. They use CertiPUR-US foams so they won't offgas nasty toxins into your home. Most customers report loving their Spa Sensations mattress at first, but some had durability concerns after a few months.
Based on our aggregated reviews and our scoring method, we recommend Simmons Beautyrest in this match up!

Simmons Beautyrest's Owner Satisfaction
Some customers felt very comfortable with their new mattress, but others couldn't get comfy. Despite those that are completely satisfied, this brand has lower sleeper satisfaction scores than the average. Read on if you are considering buying for more information on the mattresses.
Simmons Beautyrest's Supportiveness
These mattresses don't fit the needs of everyone in terms of support. Though there are some that prefer the feel of these mattresses, others have had issues with alignment long term. If you are thinking about this mattress, make sure that it works for your body before buying.
Edge Support
Edge support is essential to those that like to lay close to the edge of the mattress. Some folks, however, don't report it being as large of an issue for them. Overall these mattresses aren't as supportive over the long term so if edge support is important, make sure to do extra research.
Simmons Beautyrest's Durability
Getting a mattress which has lasting comfort is what buyers are after. We are all hopeful to find a mattress that would be just as comfortable day one as it is 10 years from now. Unfortunately, not all sleepers have felt that these mattresses were durable enought for them. If you are thinking about using this mattress nightly, read the reviews to make sure that it will match your body type before buying.

Spa Sensations's Supportiveness
There are some customers that don't feel that these mattresses do well supporting them. Though some enjoy the quality of these mattresses, if you are heavier in build, do some added dilligence before purchasing.
Edge Support
For those that are looking for quality and long-life edge support, you may want to read more reviews as some are unsatisfied with the edge support.
Spa Sensations's Durability
These mattresses may not be as durable as you would hope after buying. Some sleepers describe issues with durability and comfort over a shorter than average timeline. If you are shopping for a mattress with lasting support but are also are larger than average person, these mattresses may provide good comfort initially, but take a look at the mattress specifications and reviews before buying.

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!

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.

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 !

Outstanding mattress at an unbeatable price. Mattress Firm wanted $1k for the same exact mattress!
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.

Don't pass this mattress up
This is an amazing mattress. I own two (in Queen) and am about to order my third for the guest room. My first purchase of this mattress was over two years ago and it still sleeps like brand new. The quality, price and durability are all excellent. I highly recommend this to my friends and anyone looking for a new memory foam mattress. It is medium in firmness and substantial enough for heavier body types (which we have in our family) while remaining very comfortable. hands down, an excellent purchase.

Love this mattress!
Going on three month and I can tell you I this mattress! I sleep more through the night, and my back and shoulder pain is gone. With all the reviews I had to get me a kink size mattress. Well worth it!!!
Fantastic Mattress!!!
It is the most comfortable mattress that I have slept on in 30 years. I weigh close to 300 lbs and I thought I would bottom out on the frame but I don't even come close to the bottom. I feel like I am suspended in air. With microfiber sheets, I am neither hot nor cold.
Fantastic buy
This bed is worth every penny. I was skeptical at first but I do not regret it. There is no need to limit yourself on a type of fabric for your sheets. I use all types and the bed still conforms to your body perfectly. The bed is light so sometimes it does shift depending on what side in getting off of. But it's easily pushed back. Would definitely buy more for other rooms!
Soft and comfy
We purchased this mattress to put on top of a box spring. We let it expand for 24 hours. It is very soft and comfortable! The one thing that bothered me at first, was this new mattress is shorter than my former spring mattress with a foam topper on it. (I like my bed to be higher). After a few weeks on it now though, I don't really notice the height difference anymore. (I could purchase risers or a new platform but have decided not to). We have now been sleeping on this about a month. It is still very comfortable and just as soft. We have hip and back pains, and this mattress has been wonderful! It has taken the pain away from those pressure points. We are both side sleepers and it sinks down enough to accomodate for your arm and shoulders sinking in just the right amount. We bought jersey sheets from walmart too, and they stretch and fit perfect on this mattress! (Plus they are soft!!!) Very happy with our purchase!
Great bed overall
Great firm bed it’s not hard to me but it is firm and it rose to 12 inches .There is a little odor when you first unpack it but that went away after like 4 days for me . I let my mattress air out for like a week because the smell was bothering me after 2 days, so I gave it a week.
So much better than our previous mattress
We purchased this (king size) mattress to replace our 6 year old (queen size) memory foam mattress. We actually 'liked' our old bed, just needed a larger one. I never dreamed that this bed would be so, so, so much better. It is extremely plush and above all...COOL!! We are now in love with our bed!! Time will tell how well it holds up, but we will enjoy every single night until it is replaced (and I would definitely buy another!)
Feels good but takes a while to air out
I bought this for my 10 year old and she loves it. Sleeps much better and is easier to wake up for school. I used this full sized mattress was used in a bunk bed with no issues. The only negative is the smell is very strong for the first few days. Its a chemical foam rubber smell. After 1week it still has a smell but it is much reduced. I think it will be a good bed. I lay in it from time to time and it feels nice.
It to air out and fluff up. You will be Happy!
Love! Definitely recommend. I shopped around for mattress toplers first and bought two online. Both were huge dissapointments. We finally decided to try this after reading reviews. It's a greast mattress!! The biggest issue i saw in Reviews was the smell. It does habe smell to it but, let it sit for 48hrs to air out and achieve maximum thickness. You will be happy!
Worst mattress ever!! Save your $$!!
After following the instructions and allowing the mattress to expand for over 48 hours, the mattress was uneven and lumpy and never made it to the full 12 inches. Some areas were 4 inches high while others were 6 inches high. Looked nothing like the picture online. Back it goes!!
Know what your buying.
Over all the mattress is comfortable. And compared to the name brands that sell for thousands this is a smarter way to go. I have had it for over six months now. The only complaints I have are One: There is only about 2.5in (maybe less) of the memory foam from what I can tell and the rest if just foam. They cover it with an unwoven material which conceals the separation of the two foams at first but over time after washing the removable cover you can clearly see the separation. TWO: The removable cover is already starting to show some wear and drooping at each end of the bed which I just tuck under with the sheets but its still an eye soar. So after my findings I guess I'm disappointed. I could have got a memory foam topper and a foam block used a mattress cover and saved a couple hundred bucks. Just so you know what your getting. Hope my review helps. SRY no photos of the cover. Its in the wash as we speak.

Not for long term use
We bought this mattress 2 years ago. From 2 months ago both me and my wife started to feel back pain everyday in the morning when we wake up. For few weeks, we were puzzled about how both of us were having same lower back pain in the morning, we were blaming it on the holiday shopping and other trips we made during the holiday season. However, by the end of the holiday season we realized that the cause was something else. Finally, we figured out that it was our mattress which gave us 2 months of irritating lower back pain. So what happened was, over the time, the memory foam became soft and midsection of our bodies started to sink more than the rest. We now stopped using this mattress from last week and don't have back pain in the mornings anymore!
I love this mattress
I love this mattress. I had one in my college apartment, and bought another after I moved out. This is by far, the most comfortable mattress, and the price is great ! I had no issues with this from the box to my bed.
Ordering and shipping
Ordering and shipping was a breeze! Unpacking easy. Its a good mattress. But it hasn't expanded to 8” yet. Its been 5 days... it will work for the grandkids.
It's terrible
It's terrible. Had it less than a month and never slept worse. Sore all over. Thankfully, Wal-Mart is good at handling returns.
Feels like a DREAM
Feels like a DREAM . This is our second Zinus Spa Sensation Mattress. They are incredible mattress and the prices are unbelievable Feels like a $1200 mattress NO KIDDING !! Do not hesitate to get one . Simple to set up and a DREAM to sleep on FIVE STARS
So glad I purchased
So glad I purchased this mattress for my day bed! My company have all raved about the good nights rest they had on it.
Seems comfortable
Seems comfortable but never raised up to the promised height - at best got to 7" on some corners. Also, was a tight fit for full bed that had surrounding borders.
Great So far
Great So far and it's matched his description. It arrived on time. It was at a good price when I bought it. I believe it was on a roll back price. So I got it for 166.38. It is a gift for my uncle for his RV. I have a full size spa sensation that is slightly different from this one and I love it. I've had mine since 2016 and I use for when I go camping haha. Anyways, the fabric that came with this new mattress seems thinner then my other one. The mattress itself seems softer and not as firm as my old one. Which it is still very comfortable and as we speak I am laying on it after the recommended time. Overall very happy about this purchase.
I bought the mattresses
I bought the mattresses for my girls. They were very quick and easy to set up. My girls are very happy with them and sleeping better than with the regular mattress they had before. I only give 4 stars because they have only had the new one for a week.
I weigh ~140
I weigh ~140 and I don't sink in at all (with a platform frame) I got the 8inch, it expanded well, delivery was great, and I love that there is a protective cover on the mattress that can be washed
Soft and comfy.
Soft and comfy. Smells like plastic or something when you first open it - needs to be aired out for a couple days.
Really weary
Really weary about buying online, but now that I have it I'm glad I did. I like it, but wish it wasn't so firm, needs some give to it, or at least offer different firmnesses...
It's comfortable
It's comfortable to sleep on..the foam is good but the size is not exactly as i ordered instead of an 8" full it's just 7 inch
small box big mattress
small box big mattress got it for my 6' son and he loves it plenty of support, comfy to sleep on, and doesn't hold heat (some memory foam mattresses can get hot) very happy with it
Was kinda sceptical
Was kinda sceptical because of the cheap price.... but we loved it!! This fits perfectly in our toyhauler! Super comfortable...
So soft and comfortable
So soft and comfortable!!! And fast shipping!! I bought for our bunk beds for guests and they came very quick with free shipping, foam was soft and very comfortable! I would sleep here and would buy it again!
I bought the 8
I bought the 8" mattress and it is comfortable. I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 because the mattress did not expand to 8" only 6".
Soft but firm
Soft but firm, taking it camping this weekend in my RV. I'm actually looking forward to a good nights rest.
I love this mattress
I love this mattress so far,firm it's what I wanted . Hope it last For years to come if it does this would be my mattress for years to come for the future generation in our houseGive it four stars because time will tell about durability.
Still only 7
Still only 7 inche even after 48 hours, not 8 as specified. A little on the soft side.
I have to say
I have to say, these a re pretty fantastic for the price. My kiddos love hem on their new beds. Not sure how long they will last.
So I was hesitant
So I was hesitant on buying a mattress online (who isn't) but the reviews were pretty solid. The mattress (full size) came rolled up, and I let it expand in the living room. Nice, comfy mattress! Firm, and my 10 year old loves it. There is a "smell" but it wasn't chemical, I read the pamphlet that came with it and apparently they spray it with green tea scent but its not horrible. Would recommend!
It sleeps wonderfully
It sleeps wonderfully. It is very comfortably and conforms to my body. I am in a travel trailer and there was only a slight smell for a couple of hours.
This is the most comfortable
This is the most comfortable mattress. It's the 2nd one we've purchased. Highly recommended!
Bought this as a bed for my dogs
Bought this as a bed for my dogs. Works great. Super comfortable, doesn't squish down, expanded evenly right out of the box. The cover had a tricky zipper with a lock, but once I figured that out, no other issues. Great price.
I really like my new mattress
I really like my new mattress.Nothing like a goodnight 's rest.
I allowed over 24 hours
I allowed over 24 hours for the mattress to expand. It reached its maximum height. However, the mattress is a lot harder than I expected. When I sleep on it, in the morning my back is sore and does a lot of cracking. I have a hard time sleeping at night because if it. I'll probably have to get a pad or something to put over the mattress to hopefully help it out.
Very comfortable.
Very comfortable. Couldn't believe such a great feeling gel mattress was so reasonable
