This luxury choice from Beautyrest combines a perfect blend of comfort and durability, keeping customers cool and sound asleep.
Our verdict: The Beautyrest Black is a luxury collection that provides the comfort of memory foam, combined with the support and responsiveness of coils. It really is the best of both worlds. Most every sleeper will find comfort in this mattress, with the exception of some very lightweight sleepers who may not sink enough into the mattress to feel the comfort, and some stomach sleepers who find it too firm. Back sleepers will enjoy the exceptional back support this mattress provides.

The Beautyrest Black line was introduced in 2018 to some fanfare. Understandable. It was launched as the luxury, high-end mattress option, one that ensures restorative sleep and lives up to the Beautyrest name.
Beautyrest kicked up each design feature several notches. BlackICE 4.0 is a cooling feature meant to keep you cooler for a longer period of time during rest. BeautyEdge® stabilizes the mattress from edge to edge, great for couples who use the entire bed surface. The T3 Pocketed Coil® Technology has upgraded springs for gentle contouring and enhanced durability.
For 2019, they also added two upgrades people can add to the Black model — Cooling and Cooling + Comfort. The first adds Right Temp™ memory foam, infused with carbon fiber that conducts heat. The second adds those cooling features and another layer with Gel Touch® foam, which is another breathable comfort layer.
Beautyrest went all out, making sure to use the best materials, the coolest materials and design, and foams that would breathe and conform to you for the best sleep you’ve ever had. You can click here to read our full Beautyrest Mattress Reviews for current models.
Side sleepers do well on hybrid mattresses. The three Black designs have a medium feel, save for the Comfort+Cooling design with its plush mattress topper. That one will feel slightly cushier without losing the durability of a hybrid. Either way, side sleepers need contouring around their hips and shoulders to provide pressure relief and these designs deliver all of that to side sleepers.
Back sleepers need some gentle contouring at the top layers for their booties, but tend to do fine on all but the softest of mattresses. And the luxurious Black designs have plenty of contouring near the top in its 13-inch design, without losing durability thanks to the T3 coil technology.
Stomach sleepers often find hybrids a little too intense and firm to curve to their stomach to keep their spine in alignment. Again, the contouring layers at the top of the Black mattresses, especially in the thickest Cooling+Comfort version with the ultra plush pillow top, may still be friendly enough to alleviate this concern for stomach sleepers.

The Beautyrest Black mattresses are medium on the firmness scale. Straight down the middle of the firm mattress scale. The only one that feels a bit softer than that is the one with both the Cooling technology + Comfort design, which has a plush pillow top.
By the sheer number of layers alone and proprietary foams and construction design, the Beautyrest Black luxury line of mattresses packs in a lot of features.

You have 100 days to decide if the Beautyrest Black fits your sleeping style and body type. I always recommend you give any new sleep surface 30 days before deciding. You’ll likely need that long to adapt to the feel of it, especially if you’ve never tried memory foam before.
Beautyrest gives a 10-year limited warranty for all of its mattresses.
Part of any mattress warranty usually includes some section about using the right support underneath. Beautyrest says the Black mattress will work with most frames, foundations and adjustable bases. You can use a box spring or any solid surface. Any base with slats can’t have more than two inches between each slat.
