🥇 Our 10 Best Extra Firm Mattress Reviews 2020
Most people choose the best extra firm mattress because they've constantly been proven to be the best thing around for back pain.
In 2003, a Spanish study took a group of people with lower back pain and studied how their pain level changed based on getting into, out of and sleeping on different beds.
90% of participants who were on a medium-firm mattress or harder had less pain overall and experienced less disability during the day from back issues.
It's a tough call though, subsequent studies have shown that medium firm is better because it allows the body to have greater contact with the mattress, thereby providing better support. Most health professionals still recommend firmer beds even though they're likely to cause pressure points.
Here Are Our Best 10 Extra Firm Mattresses (And Reviews) For 2020 :
- Editors Pick Extra Firm Mattress - Sealy Mattress
- Best Value - Zinus Green Tea Mattress
- Best Price - SLEEPINC Mattress

- Best For Heavyweight Sleepers - Zinus Ultima Comfort Mattress
Our Top 10 Best Extra Firm Mattresses
At 8" the Sealy has pocketed Embrace Coils with a cushioning outside to prevent motion transfer. It also has a reinforced border and edge to increase the sleeping area and give you a seating edge.
The foundation layer has beams and supports to prevent sagging over time and there's also a 10-year warranty. It has a gel-foam band across the lower third to provide extra comfort for the lower back and hip area, though this means it can't be flipped.
Key Features
- Pocketed Coils
- Eurotop
- Boxspring included
- Edge to Edge support
The foundation is designed to absorb weight and motion which can help heavier sleepers with extra support. The "firm tight top" design is exactly that, it's quite hard and does not have a lot of give which some sleepers may not like, while others will appreciate the extra support.
You can always add a pillow top or memory layer above it. The edge support is impressive and even at the far edges it still provides support without sagging so you don't feel like you're going to fall off. There's very little motion transfer which is great.
There are no handles on the mattress and it's pretty heavy which makes it awkward to maneuver since it arrives full sized. The top is very hard and it's not comfortable unless you really want a hard surface. The design is also extra firm, and there's a good chance this may be too hard for most sleepers.
A thick mattress that has 5 different layers so that it's much denser than traditional memory foam alone. The mattress is also infused with charcoal, green tea, and other oils to help with the gassing off.
This has a slight bounce to it from the viscolatex and 5" of high-density material for extra support. This means that it retains its shape better and has a soft and responsive feel. It's very firm, though not suited to heavier sleepers as it will compress significantly, lowering its firmness factor.
This is best for a side or back sleeper, though the 13" version is better for stomach sleeping. The removable cover is also nice so that it can be washed for allergies and mites.
Key Features
- Washable Cover
- Memory Foam
This is a firm mattress for people who don't like firm mattresses. It provides lots of support and cushioning for comfort much like a pillow top would, only with better support.
This mattress does not have a particularly bad gassing off at all. The design means there're no springs so you won't feel pressure points even at this firmness.
This also isn't a "hot" mattress so you won't have to worry about sweating badly like some other foams because the 5 layer construction is not solid foam. It expands fast and is conveniently packed so you can move it in.
It can take some getting used to if you're not used to sleeping on a firmer bed. Surprisingly this can be too hard for some people.
Over time the foam does get compressed and softer spots can form as it breaks in. This is to do with the foam design not being solid and will happen over time regardless but how fast depends on your weight and sleeping position.

This is a traditional innerspring with a twist. It has a gel infused lumbar band for added lower back support, and it also has 360-degree foam encasement that adds an edge to edge cushioned layer that doesn't compromise support.
This also means you can flip the mattress without losing quality. It's covered in Tencel which helps to wick away moisture if you get sweaty and has a silky finish to prevent skin irritation. There's a 10-year warranty and it's incredibly cheap.
Key Features
- Innerspring
- Tencel cover
- 10-year warranty
This is a really tall and thick mattress but it weighs a scant 35lb so it's amazingly easy to move in. It ships full sized so you don't have to worry about it taking time to reshape.
The memory foam doesn't reflect heat because it's quite a thin layer so you don't have to worry about getting hot with it and it's thin so there's no gassing off period.
The design is comfortably plush and ideal for anyone who wants a firm bed with a little give to it.
This is like an extra-firm bed with a cushioned topper. The foam adds a softness that isn't necessarily welcome and the band across the hip area means you'll sink down so that your butt is lower than your body, something that only works if you're a back sleeper.
This is a noticeable sag, and unless you're sleeping in the "perfect" position for it the band is not only useless but uncomfortable. It's not good for stomach sleepers at all despite being the thicker height.

hey what's up sorry got a little bit excited there today we're gonna be unboxing and checking out a $150 memory foam mattress from Amazon with prime shipping and what world do we live in here this is amazing so if you've heard about memory foam mattresses and the stuff you can buy online you probably know of the bigger brands like the the purple and the Casper and the tough the needle and those ones that are like you know around $1000 eight hundred fifteen hundred what is somewhere in that price range which is like the price of a regular like good mattress like a pillowtop Serta or something you could get it for like a thousand bucks or something like that you get a pretty good mattress for that I believe but the memory foam mattress people came in and like took over as far as like the zionists and then the other ones like the Olli sleep and other companies and they were selling them for like three four hundred dollars and they were good mattresses I still sleep on to this day I still sleep on my I think it's an Olli sleep tenant I did a review on it a while back and I still sleep on it and I still love it it's amazing but I just got this space is like a YouTube's to do it has a bunch of bedrooms in it and I figured I'd get a bed to throw in here in case I want to take a nap here or something and so I shopping around for mattresses and to my surprise they sell them for a hundred and fifty dollars now which is crazy granted it is a queen and not a king but a queen is pretty big well depending on her diet I guess I'm not sure some queens might be bigger I don't know but anyway let's unbox this I'll show you the whole process of how these things unfold it unwrap and expand and and then we'll test it out when it's done expanding also keep in mind I've never owned like any of the super expensive memory foam mattresses I have slept on a few tempur-pedic's back in the day and they're very very similar to the three $400 mattresses that I have the memory foam matches that you get from Amazon so hopefully this one this deal because it's 150 dollars out of my length this and I'll link this exact one down below that I'm talking about but let's let's get into it it's turn it upside down and dump it out look it's an upside-down Zionist logo this is inés tech tips all right so now we have a very highly compressed piece of foam here let's get some surgery doing my knife at who's the dead man that stole my knife now you want to be careful when you're cutting into these because it's very tightly wrapped and so the plastic is very close to the actual fabric this one has like a like one of those bags you would buy cedar Boston like a plastic bag I think we can somewhat safely cut that open all right let's plop it down and if you can hear it it feels like it's already expanding somehow we put the mic over here like that and then you hear that all the air going into there all right let's start expanding like right away we've got to work somewhat quick here alright now we watch it expand you I didn't want to run my camera battery out and they say you're not supposed to lay on these before they're fully expanded but I'm breaking all the rules here guys I'm living life on the edge plus it only costs 150 bucks if I mess it up I'll just buy another one but so far this thing's awesome it is thinner than my the one I have at home is like a 10 inch this one's only an 8 inch it's not fully expanded but you you can feel the difference in like the depth for sure but it's still SuperDuper comfortable all right I'm gonna run the Walmart and grab some random things I'll be back maybe it'll be fully expanded by then I'm not sure how long this takes and then we'll give it a proper review so I just got back from Walmart picked up the usual got some bedding some pillows and cases and like some buffalo sauce and some spray adhesive just usual rather than run-of-the-mill stuff and it has expanded a little bit more but I noticed that the corners are not fully expended yet so I think those are going to be the last things that expand on this bed but for a hundred and fifty dollars this is insanely impressive this feels just about as comfortable as my 10-inch one like it's 99% as comfortable to me the only thing I could feel was when I'm standing on this my feet will actually almost press through the whole thing when I'm walking on it whereas I remember walking on the 10-inch one when I when I first got it just walking across it to get a shot or something like that and your feet are on the foam like they're not like it doesn't sink enough to almost like you can feel the surface of the ground kind of almost it doesn't it makes it sound like this is like flimsy it's not there's just two inches less of foam on it and when you're laying on it like when your weight spread out you don't feel it at all as far as I'm concerned that I can tell what's crazy is I just wanted a little bed to nap on when I'm here and I don't want to drive home all the way to take a nap or something and I was looking at just getting a futon like a simple little futon and those are like 150 200 bucks and I was like sidetracked from it I was looking at mattresses and this popped up at 149 or 150 dollars exactly and I was like deal done and I'll probably just leave this on the ground if I want to I'll maybe get like $100 like a little hundred-dollar frame from Amazon maybe but even then for $250 versus 150 to 200 for a futon futons are cool and they have like the features of being you can make it a couch and you can make it a futon but for just sleeping purpose strictly this is way better than sleeping on a futon there was a there was a smell when I opened it in I can just kind of barely smell it now it's been like two hours since it's opened up and the brochure says to wait 24 to 48 hours to let it fully expand but I'm not gonna do that I'm gonna sleep on it whenever I feel like it but the smell is pretty much already dissipated they say they infuse it with green tea extract or something which sounds a little gimmicky and kind of yeah but I don't know it could be I'd have to look into it I'd have to look into and see if there's any benefits of that but this is a solid purchase for 150 bucks so I will link this exact one down below so you know where to get it it isn't Amazon affiliate link so if you do buy it I get it doesn't cost you any more but I do get like three bucks or four bucks or something like that if you buy one just three Amazon affiliates so again I appreciate you watching the video thumbs up if it helped you at all and thanks for watching and subscribe if you want to see more of me reviewing stuff and doing random stuff on this channel have a great day guys bye I usually smack the lens but it's Suites you far also quick sidenote this thing is super duper life like I can pick it up and like toss it or if I wanted to so just something to think about if you're not wanting to lug a big heavy mattress around all the time super light super comfortable
Hampton and Rhodes has a well-known name in the mattress industry and they're known for producing quality right here in the USA. This is no different and comes with a 10-year warranty as well.
It has Active Support Technology that includes a memory foam layer to relieve pressure spots and fabric encased coils for support as well as memory foam to adjust to the body's shape and position.
The coils provide superior airflow so you'll never get hot and the outer ring are Quantum Edge coils to provide extra support even at the edge of the bed. It also has a base foam layer for stability and can be rolled up for shipping and storage.
Key Features
- Spring/foam hybrid design
- Edge Coils for extra support
- Separate Foam base layer
- Can be Rolled
The encased coil and foam design give you many of the benefits of memory foam without the bad. These layers mean you can get out of bed without disturbing your partner, and it feels soft and cloud-like despite having maximum support.
It's ideal for stomach sleepers and is part of the Posturepedic line designs to provide extra back support. It doesn't need flipping but can be turned if needed.
The design means the mattress can't be flipped. There's an additional 5-9" foundation layer, but the problem is it has to be purchased separately which significantly increases the cost and is somewhat misleading since it's shown as being part of the sleep system.
Another hybrid design that materials to give you a softer feel without sacrificing support. This also has individually wrapped coils like the Sealy Hybrid as well as a 10-year limited warranty.
It uses CertiPUR foam (which is better quality) in both a high-density support layer and a thinner comfort layer. It has a Tight top that isn't pillowed and 10% more coils than their firm version for extra support.
Key Features
- Foam layer
- 10 year warranty
- Edge Coil support
- 10% more coils
This is firm right the way to the edge of the mattress since all the coils are the same. It's deep enough to work for stomach sleepers and while it's a little plusher than the 10" version it's still firm and solid.
This is ideal for larger sleepers and also has an extra support bottom available for Big & Tall which makes it much more versatile than average.
The iCoil designs are independent so you don't disturb your partner when moving since only the coils on your side move. It ships compressed so it's convenient to set up.
This takes up to three days to reshape into it's expected thickness which can be awkward since you can't use it in that time. This also has some gassing off, which means there's a significant chemical smell that can take days to go away and irritate allergies.
The sizes are also not quite standard so it is often an inch or two different from frames.

Joe: Hello, everyone. My name is Joe. I'm from Mattress Clarity. Welcome. Today I'm going to be talking about the Zinus cooling gel mattress. I'm going to be telling you everything you need to know about this mattress -- the pros, the cons, run through the construction telling you who's it's a good fit for, who it's not a good fit for. By the end of the video you're going to have a very good idea if you're going to want to get it, so stay tuned. [music] Joe: If you want to see a list of my favorite memory-foam mattresses, simply google "Mattress Clarity best memory-foam mattress." If you have any questions about today's review or any questions whatsoever, leave a comment below. I will get back to you as soon as I can. We have Zinus here. They are known for having very high-quality products and very affordable prices. I really like their platform beds, for example. I have reviewed one of their mattresses before. This is the cooling-gel mattress. It's cool that you give an 8, a 10, 12, and 14-inch version of this to get the exact firmness that you want. I was really excited to jump in and see how this performed. Let's talk about what's inside of the cooling-gel mattress from Zinus. We have the 12-inch model here. It's going to be a little bit softer. We have 12 inches in total. We have three and a half inches base layer. The other base layer, three and a half inches. You can see little air channels in here. That allows for air to flow through. They'll help you sleep cooler at night. Then we have a transition layer. It's pretty soft but pretty springy. Then three inches of gel memory foam. Definitely a very much memory-foam feel with this mattress, very soft. We'll show you what that looks like and that slow reaction time. You basically have five inches total of comfort material. It's all pretty soft, so you're going to sink into this mattress. That slow-moving quick-sandy memory-foam feel is something to note here. There's two ways of how you're going to sleep cool. You have gel infused into the memory foam. Then who have these little air channels here that allows for air to escape. It's going to be a nice, soft feel probably more appropriate for side-sleepers. I'll talk about that a little bit later in the video. A nice soft feel, sinking-in feel as well, memory-foam feel. Very nice feel overall. I think a lot of people are going to like it. It's going to relieve pressure prettu really well. Stick around. Later in the video we're going to show you a pressure map test that shows exactly how well this mattress relieves pressure. That's the construction overall. Let's talk about firmness and feels. As far as firmness is concerned, again this is the 12-inch version. Output about a 6 out of 10, a little bit softer than average. The reason I feel that way is you have three inches of gel memory foam, two inches of comfort foam, pretty soft material there. Overall, just a little bit softer than average. If you get the eight-inch versions isn't going to be very firm. 10-inch a little bit softer. Then 12-inch and then the very, very soft 14-inch. As far as the feel is concerned, there's going to be no bounce whatsoever, which I'll show you right here if you drop a lacrosse ball. It's really that true memory-foam feel. If you put your hand in, take it away, it takes a while to respond. With there being three inches of memory foam on top, two inches underneath that, you're really going to sink into the mattress. You'll feel a little bit of firmness initially. Then the pressure will just melt away with the memory foam. Definitely a true memory-foam feel with this mattress. Now I'm going to talk through how I feel in different sleeping positions. Starting on my back, I feel like it's a pretty good match for me. I can feel the memory foam conformed to the curves of my body. Pretty good match to me. I would say, if you're a heavier sleeper, I would probably get something a little bit firmer. Switching onto my side now, very good match for me here. The memory foam really kicks in and relieves any pressure whatsoever. Very good match for me here. I would say the 12-inch version is very ideal for side-sleeping. Switching to my stomach, I would say it's a little bit too soft for me. There's probably a little bit too much memory foam. If you want to go for the 8-or-10-inch version, that's probably the more appropriate choice for stomach-sleeping. At Mattress Clarity, you're going to see some of our subjective opinions but also some objective tests. One test I really like is the pressure-map test. It shows you exactly how well each mattress relieves pressure. I get down on my back, side, and stomach. You see anywhere from blue, no pressure, all the way up to red, high pressure. Only thing to note is, if you have a different body type than I do, you may see a bit different results. Let's get started. [music] Martin: Hey, guys. Martin here to offer a different perspective. Joe's 5-9, 160. I'm 6-7, 230. I'm a larger person and want to give my experience of the Zinus mattress. In terms of firmness, Joe said it was a 6 out of 10. I said it was closer to a 7 out of 10. I think that's mostly because, as a larger person, I'm pressing further into this foam layer on top here, feeling some more firmness than Joe did. Let's talk about sleeping positions. Starting on my back, it's a little bit too soft for me, not quite supportive enough for me. My hips are sticking in a little too far. I am feeling some support on my lumbar area, but overall I am sticking into the mattress. On my side, a little bit of pressure on my shoulders and my hips. Not too much but, if you are larger than me, you might feel even more pressure. On my stomach, not supportive enough. Definitely not supportive enough for me overall. I'm bowing in at the hips there, feeling myself get out of alignment. What does that mean? I think, if you're a heavy back sleeper, this could work for you if you're a little bit lighter than me. However, if you're heavier than me, look for a firmer option. If you're a heavier side-sleeper, could be a good option. If you're a heavier stomach-sleeper, definitely look for something firmer. Joe: If you sleep with a partner, you're going to want to consider motion transfer. Basically, if you're partner's moving around in that side of the bed, is that motion going to be isolated or transfer over to you and possibly wake you up at night? To test that, I've got a glass here. I'm going to create a little disturbance. We've got memory foam on top here. It should do a good job here at isolating motion. You can see that is the case. Also had Martin jump in and out of bed while I was sitting down there and didn't really feel any motion transfer over to me. I feel like this mattress is a good option for couples. If you sleep with a partner or you like sleeping towards the edge of the bed, you're going to want to edge support. Basically, can you sit or sleep towards the edge of the bed without feeling like you're going to fall off? I've got an all-foam mattress here. You can see that the foam does collapse when I sit on it. The edge support isn't necessarily the best here. I'm going to lie down on my back, too, towards the edge of the bed. I'm getting a little bit of that rolling-off-the-bed feeling, so I would say edge support is not the best on this mattress. Let's talk about some of the pros of this mattress, who I think this mattress may be a good fit for. Number one, this mattress isolates motion extremely well. For that reason I think it's a great option for couples who don't want to be bothered by their partner at night. Number two, the value is really amazing. This 12-inch version for a queen's only $341. It's just going to be hard to find a mattress that feels this nice for that kind of price. The value is really there. Number three, overall comfort is very good as well. I found that the memory foam kicked in, relieves any sort of pressure. It felt really, really good on my side. I think that the 12-inch version is especially good for side-sleeping. They also have four different firmness options, so the 8, 10, 12, 14-inch are good for different feels. You can find the right firmness for you here as well. Now let's talk through some of the cons of this mattress, so who I think this mattress may not be the best fit for. Number one, durability's not going to be the best with this mattress. If you're viewing this mattress purchase as a long-term investment -- 10, 15 years - I would probably look elsewhere. The value is really here and the price is so low, but don't expect it to last 8, 10 years, for example. I would say heavier sleepers would probably want to find something more supportive. Perhaps something with support coils or higher-density foams overall. Probably something more supportive in general. Then this also a very distinct memory-foam feel, so just know what that is exactly. You're going to slowly sink into the mattress. If that's not what you're looking for and you're used to traditional spring mattresses, you're probably going to want to look elsewhere for something with a different feel. To wrap up, I think a lot of people are going to like this mattress. It's very, very comfortable. It also isolates motion very well, making it a great option for couples. The value is very, very good. Just make sure you know what the memory foam feel is. If you like that, you're definitely going to like this mattress. I'd also encourage you to check out mattressclarity.com if you're just getting started in your mattress-buying journey. If you want to see a full list of our topics, you can simple google "Mattress Clarity best mattress." Once again, let me know if you have any questions whatsoever.
This is a mattress and box spring set, that has a 10-year warranty. It weighs a sturdy 145lb and is an innerspring design.
The outer material is polyester rather than cotton which isn't as plush, though the fabric can vary. It has 490 innerspring inside and an orthotic design.
Key Features
- Made in the USA
- Innerspring
- Eurotop
- Box Spring Included
With a simple and basic design, this model provides decently firm support without a lot of frills. There's no fancy layers and no extras just a basic mattress that's supportive.
It does provide good support and is fairly comfortable if you like a lot of bounce since the springs are not protected.
The company doesn't have a lot of information and there's not a lot of reviews on the product so it's hard to really tell if it's as good as the company says. There's a lot of motion transfer and the coils will sag over time since they're not reinforced.

The design is encased and has an Energy Foam base which provides extra stability and durability. The coils are individually pocketed to help protect from motion transfer and to provide more support.
Key Features
- Pillow Top
- Pocketed Coils
- Foam-layers
With a thicker design, this is ideal for stomach sleepers. The amount of foam in this means there's almost no motion transfer which is great for couples. It also has a pillow top which makes this feel a lot less firm than it is.
The memory-foam doesn't get hot and the gel and cooling layers to keep you feeling comfortable. It's got more give than most extra firm mattresses and feels more like a true coil than a hybrid.
The coil design and the thin foam means that there's still pressure points because this bed is very firm. This does not come with the box spring and is not flippable.
The coils don't feel like they're pocketed and while there's not a lot of motion transfer it still feels like they start to poke over time.

hi i'm mike founder of good bed comm today we're going to be taking a look at the Beautyrest silver collection which is the entry-level collection in the broader Beautyrest line and it's all new for 2017 and actually it will replace the Beautyrest recharge line which you may see in stores still for the first part of 2017 so we're gonna take you through a few of the models give you a sense of kind of where the line starts where what it looks like at some popular price points in kind of a middle of the line as well as what the top of the line in the Beautyrest silver line looks like so we'll take you through it now so let's start out by talking about some of the features that actually all the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid models have in common and for starters they're all pocketed coil mattresses in fact all Beautyrest mattresses are pocketed coil mattresses and just as a reminder these are pocketed coils what they are is each coil has its own fabric pocket and the idea is that I can press down on these coils here and these ones over here don't move so not only does that provide great motion isolation because obviously any disturbances happening here aren't affecting the coils over there but also it allows the coils to confirm a little conform a little bit more to the curves of your body something that's unique about the coils in the Beautyrest line is that they actually vary up the firmness of their coils depending on which model it is and what kind of feel they're trying to provide so in most cases with mattress makers when you're trying to differentiate a firm model from a plush model they do it entirely with the comfort layers on top of the mattress and the underlying support unit coils let's say would be identical in the two models with Beautyrest they actually vary up the gauge of the wire used in their coils which is basically means the thickness of the wire which gives so they have basically plush coils and firm coils and so you can actually really see the difference here these are the plush coils if I press down here you can see how much they go down and I'll press down with the equal force over here and you can see they go down a lot less so these are a lot firmer coils that's going to give the mattress a different feel and that's important too because if you look at how much of the profile of the mattress is actually accounted for by coils here it's about the first nine inches of every mattress in the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid line here you got about an inch of foam on the bottom then you got about an eighth inch coil unit so every mattress that's that's your first nine inches and so it really when you only have a few inches of foam especially on top these plush or coils can give that mattress so a much plush or feel in terms of the total number of coils the coil counts in this collection the non-hybrid B rest silver are about eight hundred and fifteen in a queen-size which is a step up from what you saw in the beauty sleep collection which is below Beautyrest their value line it's almost a hundred more coils that you get with beauty sleep and another thing that you have in every Beautyrest silver mattress is edge support they've got a foam perimeter which is this block of white foam here going around all the corners are all the edges of the mattress to give it a much firmer edge than it would have if you just had these coils going all the way up to the edge so those are kind of some some shared features another shared feature is the feature that gives the whole collection its name which is silver in this top layer this of quilting there's some rayon in here which is kind of what gives like under this cover there's rayon that kind of is what gives this top layer its pillowy softness mixed in to that is actual silver flecks and the purpose of that is meant to be that silver a is a conductor so it's able to pull heat away from your body and be silver is naturally antimicrobial so the idea is that it will help inhibit the growth of mildew or bacteria in your top of your mattress so all silver Beautyrest mattresses have silver up near the top of the mattress for those reasons that's what gives the collection its name so those are and then in terms of the comfort layers what you're mostly gonna see and we'll sit will show you a few of the models specifically but what you're mostly going to see is polyurethane foam with and some gel foam and to give you an idea they call it gel touch foam this is the gel foam I mean it's it's not memory foam just to be clear the gel touch foam is is it's just polyurethane foam that's has a little bit of gel infused into it you do have a little bit of the air-cool gel memory foam which is which is a gel memory foam but you don't have a whole lot of it in the Beautyrest silver non hybrids so the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid collection has about 10 to 12 total available models in it now that's going to result in a lot more different names than ten to twelve out in the marketplace because each retailer is probably going to be giving these things their own names but 10 to 12 total sort of permutations in general that range between about $6.99 MSRP in a queen set to about 1199 for a queen set and the queen set means a queen mattress plus the matching foundation and those are MSRP prices so it is possible that during certain sale periods you might see retailers selling these for below the prices that I'm quoting you but I wanted to at least give you a good idea of just in general where the prices are for these so it so basically at $6.99 this line is picking up right where beauty sleep leaves off price-wise and this model that we're on right here is the starting point this is the entry model it happens to be a plush model you could see that it is a tight top it's not a pillowtop but it has a very sort of pillow soft kind of feel in the top it's about eleven and a half inches thick so that means that we talked about the first nine inches of the mattress are that pocketed coil support unit so you're looking at about two and a half inches of comfort materials on top of that which is a lot of what's giving it this pillow softness but it's it's also the plush or coils being used in this model that are contributing as well so what you have here in terms of the comfort layers is mostly polyurethane foam you do have about a half inch of gel foam as well but that's that's basically what you're looking at in terms of the comfort layers and one thing that they do in the silver line at this at this stage of the silver line is they also put across the middle of the mattress going across the middle third which is meant to be the part underneath your heaviest part of your body which for everybody is your hips is they also put about a half inch or so or of gel memory foam and it's actually kind of down at the bottom so it's it's not actually meant to serve the purpose that memory foam is usually meant to serve which is pressure relief in this case it's actually just meant to kind of boost up provide a little more thickness under that part of the mattress just to make sure that that part of the mattress doesn't sag due to the fact that that's your heaviest part of your body and it needs to be held up so that's that's the function that that gel memory foam is supposed to be serving but it's just about a half-inch and it's only going across the center third of the mattress okay so now we've moved here up to about the middle of the collection we're looking now at a luxury firm pillow top this now is a fourteen inch mattress that would have an MSRP of $8.99 in a queen set so what you're getting here is obviously a much thicker mattress the key difference is just more padding materials on top you have about five inches instead of two and a half inches on top of that support unit and it's still a lot of the same materials mostly polyurethane foam you do still have about a half inch of gel foam and you still have that half inch strip of gel memory foam going across the center third of the mattress but mostly what you're getting here is just this big pillow top you know which is a couple two and a half inches or so tall and and it's giving it just a bit of a different feel than what you got in the previous mattress we saw okay so now we've moved up to the top of the line in terms of the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid collection and this would be the 1199 MSRP model this one happens to be comfort wise there's a couple choices comfort wise at this level but this one happens to be the luxury firm and they called the luxury firm summit pillow top so they're clearly trying to make it clear to you through the name that this is a tall mattress which it is it's about 15 and a half inches thick so you're getting definitely just even more of those pretty similar comfort materials that you were getting in the earlier versions that we saw but instead of a few inches on top of the support unit you're looking now at six and a half inches of those comfort materials on top of that pocketed coil support unit the other thing that happens is when you get up to the top of the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid collection your your a few other things change number one you can notice just the aesthetic here they use a darker gray just to kind of indicate that this is a bit more premium number two is they actually add a couple little nice touches but the most notable of which is these handles which are really sturdy handles that aren't present on the lower end of the silver collection and the third thing is that that gel memory foam layers kind of down near the bottom instead of going only across the middle third it actually gets extended across the entire mattress now at the upper end of this line so you it's still about the same thickness about a half inch or so of gel memory foam and but now it's going across the whole thing and it's still not going to give you really much of a change in the feel because it is down kind of below a lot of the other layers so there's no memory feel here no slow responsiveness that you're gonna notice here as a much more traditional feel like the rest of this collection so in terms of the only other difference I think is worth pointing out here is this particular model is called a luxury firm and last model I showed you is also called the luxury firm but they actually used different coil units in them this one uses the plush coils whereas the previous one I showed you uses the firm coil then you may be able to tell that it gives a little bit of a different feel as you as you kind of come down on it those coils definitely compress more when someone particularly someone of my weight I'm almost 200 pounds comes down on it I guess the only thing I would I would add about that is that I feel like if I were choosing the mattress for myself I would if I were significantly heavier than I am I probably would lean towards the firmer coils and making sure that the model I chose had those firmer coils because I would want to make sure that my body is being held up and the coils were strong enough to to hold up my weight but that again is mostly going to come down to your personal preference but that would certainly be my preference so really we just wanted to show you kind of what you're getting at the top of this collection and in general I would say that it's it's just kind of more comfort layers and as a result of that a different feel which I do think a lot of people are gonna find more comfortable and so that's kind of what you're paying for as you move up to the top of this Beautyrest silver non-hybrid collection okay so there you have it that's the Beautyrest silver non-hybrid collection for 2017 for overviews of the other Beautyrest collections for this year you can go to our YouTube channel and for more helpful information on just how to choose the right mattress for you you can go to good bed comm thanks so much for watching and we hope you sleep well [Music] you
As one of the most expensive models on the list, you would expect something more. This does come with the box spring but has a wait time of several months before shipping because of its popularity.
It has advanced pocket coil technology for pressure relief and layers to create a pillowed top that disperses body heat.
The mattress is finished with luxury fabric and Phase Change material to regulate body heat as you sleep. The foam stops you feeling pressure points and increases airflow to keep you comfortable.
Key Features
- Hybrid design
- 850 coils
- Phase change for heat regulation

This is an especially firm model and it has the hybrid design that includes a pillow top for softness. It can also be flipped. It's pretty comfortable and has independent support technology which helps prevent motion transfer.
There are two types of coils in an alternating design to give better back support and to provide a tighter amount of coils (850). It has a cotton blend cover for softness and also has a ten-year warranty. Beautyrest is known for quality and this is no exception as it's a well-made design.
This is a pricey product and it can vary over several thousand depending on where you shop. It's fairly heavy at 116lb and comes full sized.
This is very firm and can be too firm for some sleepers despite there not being pressure points thanks to the hybrid design.

hi i'm mike founder of good bed comm today we're going to be taking a look at the Beautyrest black collection for 2017 this is the absolute top of the line for Beautyrest and so we wanted to make sure we showed you this collection which has about 12 models in it we're gonna really kind of hit just a few of those models in particular some of the most popular ones so that you can get a closer up look at those models and then we're also gonna give you an overview of some of the kind of key ingredients that a lot of these models share and try to explain those ingredients in as layman's terms as we can we're not going to get into a whole lot of specifics on the actual components and and counting inches of certain layers of each of the models that we talk about because in general I think our view on the Beautyrest black collection is that this is a luxury line and like a lot of luxury products it starts to become a little bit less about the specific layers or or specifications and it starts to become more about feel and how it makes you feel in particular so that's gonna be our focus as we go through this is just to kind of let you get a closer look at these products so that you can determine whether this might be of interest to you and if it is we really encourage you to do is go to good bed and find a retailer near you that carries Beautyrest blacks so that you can see it in person and really experience how it makes you feel so one thing that's unique about all Beautyrest black mattresses is that they feature this twisted cable coil and the idea there is that it's a much stronger coil because it's actually sort of three coils together kind of twisted together into one you can see it here and the inspiration for this was a suspension cable and a bridge which you can kind of imagine it's not just one strand it's actually three strands twisted together because that provides a lot more strength in that suspension cable and so the principle with these coils is the same where you're taking three strands if you will three different pieces of wire and you're twisting them together for starters and then that twisted strand is being kind of shaped into the overall resulting coil in order to give it more strength so the Beautyrest black mattresses all feature this coil there are the only mattresses that feature this coil and that is really kind of the signature most unique feature at least as far as support goes within the Beautyrest black collection so in terms of the comfort materials in the Beautyrest black models you have first of all four different types of memory foam being used you've got the black ice memory foam which is the micro diamond memory foam with gel technology applied to it and then you have the micro diamond memory foam itself and then you've got dynamic response memory foam and then you've got air cool gel memory foam which is kind of the more standard memory foam used in some of the other lines and then on top of that you also have in some of the highest end models within Beautyrest black latex in terms of the prices they from 1999 they go all the way up to $49.99 and a queen set and the other important thing to explain about the prices for Beautyrest black is that in this collection Beautyrest uses what's called Mapp prices map stands for minimum advertised price and what that essentially means is that the retailers who carry this collection agree to not sell it below a certain price that bt rests sets and so the idea there is that no matter where you go it should be that the price of this is the price there shouldn't be retailers studying their own prices at least not below a certain level so it's not to say that necessarily you're gonna see exactly the same prices but the prices that we quote should be the lowest prices that you're going to find anywhere for the models in this collection so another thing you'll notice when you look at the Beautyrest black models is that they have a very substantial feeling to them we're right here on this even the entry-level model in this collection which is going to start you at about nineteen ninety nine in a queen set and it even at that has a very substantial well-built feel to it not that the others don't have a well-built feel but the Beautyrest black just has another level I mean it really does just feel like a very luxurious product it starts really with everything like this the side panels and these these handles all the way onto these these covers and just when you kind of come down on it these twisted cable coils that we described have a very kind of buoyant feel to them they just poppy right back up so everything about them just feels very substantial and solidly built so here we are we've moved up a few models to one that's you may see called the Catarina luxury firm pillow top and I wanted to just show you how as you move up through this line the the profiles tend to start getting thicker we've added several inches here you're definitely getting more memory feel here in these these models you've probably added a few hundred dollars to the base price in the line by the time you get to this model but I just wanted to give you a sense as we go through this line because there's about 12 total choices in the Beautyrest black collection of kind of we won't cover all of them but just generally speaking how things tend just change as you start to move through this product line so now I've moved up a few more spots to a mattress that you may see called the mariela luxury firm and I'm not going to get into all the details on exactly what's in this mattress but I just wanted to show it to you because it is probably the most popular Beautyrest black mattress it's priced at about $29.99 in a queen size and that what you notice of course first the wet and foremost is they've changed the aesthetics as you get into the higher price points in the Beautyrest black they've given it a darker gray look this cover is this super soft material that just feels great on your hands and overall I mean you just you sit here on this man and my elbows been sitting here for a few minutes and I'm just getting phenomenally good pressure relief underneath this elbow so it's not exactly like a super Luigi memory feel to it but it is providing me great pressure relief so there's a few there's probably is some memory foam down in there that's doing a lot of that work for me but it doesn't give me that super memory feel to it so this is sort of the sweet spot in terms of for a lot of people what they lighten but what they find that they like most in the Beautyrest black collection okay so now we've stepped it up again to the absolute top of the line in the Beautyrest black collection to a mattress that you may see called the tatyana ultra plush pillowtop and one thing you'll notice looking at this mattress is that once again the aesthetic has changed here with the cover they've gone to a cover that's now even more luxurious feeling although very different now it's it's got a more a less of a stretchy cover to it a bit of a different tufting pattern it's sort of emphasizing big billows in order to make it feel even more regal going along with that regal feeling I would add that this mattress is 18 plus inches thick so when it's placed on just a regular box spring on a frame that's just sort of an ordinary height off the ground you almost have to hop or I specifically almost have to hop to get even into this bed and I'm 6 feet tall so this is definitely a mattress that's made to absolutely connote luxury and in terms of the price point this is $49.99 in a queen set so we just wanted you to have a chance to see you know what the top of the line in this Beautyrest black collection looks like so there you have it there's your overview of the Beautyrest black product line for 2017 we hope you found it helpful to see the product up close and get a sense of some of the different apps you have within this product line as well as understanding some of the features that these models have in common we encourage you to go to good bed comm for more helpful information on how to choose the right mattress for you as well as look for our other youtube videos on our youtube channel including other videos of the Beautyrest collections for 2017 so thanks for watching and we hope you sleep well you [Music]
An orthopedic design that is flippable and has a ten-year warranty. There's also an option for a low profile with the included boxspring if you want less than 8".
There are 490 coils inside with a smaller coil border for extra support. The entire design is encased in 2.5" foam and there's also extra padding on the sides.
It's a very high design at 14" which is great for stomach sleepers. This is about mid-level in price and it's manufactured in the USA. The outside coating is polyester and it comes fully sized.
Key Features
- Edge to Edge Coils
- Optional low profile Boxspring
- Side Padding
This provides plenty of support but isn't as firm as some of the others. It's a pillow top design that's much more traditional than any others on the list.
Having two different options for box springs adds the ability not to have a super tall bed. It's comfortable and the quilting is nice but it doesn't provide a lot of giving.
The stitching quality is quite poor and they often arrive with several runs and loose threads. This isn't great quality considering the price. It's a pretty basic design that isn't as firm as expected because it's got far fewer springs.
The springs are also not pocketed which means there's plenty of motion transfer. There's also a huge shipping charge on top of the fact that the set is expensive.

review number one okay only a four star right now because I just got it first off it popped up to ten inches almost immediately second I see some people complain about foam mattress corners no filling out people if you kind of tug on the foam underneath the cover and straighten out the cover since this one is removable then they should pretty much fill out completely now for that cover it's amazing I figured it would be so so and that wouldn't really matter because it will have a fitted sheet over it but now I almost don't want to put on because the cover is so nice I am very impressed with the visco latex layer again I thought it'll probably bounce back a little faster than memory foam I was wrong I tried out latex mattresses and it acts pretty much the same way I can't wait to spend the night on it it has the perfect amount of cushion and firmness now I'm only 5 feet 9 inches in 145 pounds on a good day so if you are 230 you may compress the soft layers and get down to the really firm base a 12 inch mattress would probably be better for you there is little to no smell to it as well I thought there was going to be because I could smell it coming from the box but when I got the mattress out the only way I can smell anything is to stick my nose to it will report more in the future update this may seem strange to people given the four star review but I ended up not keeping the mattress this has nothing at all to do with the quality of the mattress I am extremely impressed to see such a quality product for this price I'm giving up the mattress because it is just a bit too firm for me which I knew was a possibility back and stomach sleeping is awesome on it but I do some side sleeping - sleeping on my side is good all around except one caveat it gets too firm on my hips I'm pretty thin and bony so I don't have a lot of my own cushion there so when visco latex foam presses into me just a little too much I am really disappointed with that because I like everything else about the mattress again this is nothing against the mattress or its quality I received exactly the product that is advertised here it's just one of those you don't really know until you know things even if I would have gone to a store and tried it I would be in the same boat because I didn't really notice there was too much pressure until 30 minutes into laying on it it does sleep a little warm when I am on my stomach but no more so than any other foam mattress I have a feeling that if I kept it and broke it in for a month it would be just fine but then I would risk not getting a refund side note I went online to use Amazon's live chat support to get the return going with the large items department initially they offered a 25% refund and I could keep the item I told them that I appreciated that and I would love to keep it to avoid doing all this since I'll probably end up without a mattress for a few days while this one is shipped back and the one I just ordered is being shipped to me but it's just not going to work for me the next thing that pops on the screen said the full refund for the item and shipping cost will be refunded to your original method of purchase in two to three days and you can keep the item what even though I could read it again and again I had to ask her to repeat that just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me no she told me I could keep it or dispose of it once when I get a new mattress I was blown away by the customer service I just received obviously Amazon can't resell a used mattress but what mattress store or company for that matter is going to let you keep their mattress and give you a full refund if that were the case then everyone would be getting free mattresses so because they let me keep it for free I offered it up for free to a friend that was also in need of a new mattress so Amazon you inadvertently made two people very happy with one item it wasn't like Amazon made a mistake or there was something wrong with the mattress or even that it was super uncomfortable for me in reality I am just being super picky but Amazon didn't want me to have to sleep on the couch for a few days which would have been far worse than sleeping on this mattress while I wait for another mattress if that isn't great customer service I don't know what ID is review number two this is somewhat my fault for purchasing a mattress listed as firm but it is much firmer than expected if you sleep on your side it is likely you'll develop lower back pain because the mattress doesn't cradle your lower hip properly forcing your spine to curve unnaturally upward on one side there were no issues with smell and it expanded quickly review number three this mattress is on the firm side but oh so comfortable took less than a day to fully expand and even though the company warns you about it possibly having a strong smell mine did not have it would definitely recommend if you want to have a great night's sleep without Springs poking your back review number four I must say I was not fond of this mattress the first few nights I slept on it I had such a hard time falling asleep I kept tossing and turning and then I'd wake up so sore I don't know if my body finally got used to this type of matrice worth the purchase review number five the mattress arrived fast and nicely packaged no damage to the box it is quite heavy so my UPS man was kind enough to offer to carry it upstairs for me when I opened the box the instructions were right on the top so I took them out and set them to the side I had to lay it on its side to get it out it comes tightly wrapped in a white stringed bag so I pulled it out using my feet to push the Box away as I held the bag and pulled it out doing this by yourself will require some strength to get it out the boxes as big as me and I'm 5/3 once I got it out I rolled it over to my box spring and slide it on the box spring I then ripped the white bag down the sonne seemed like the instruction said opened it up and carefully cut both ends of the plastic open and then aligned down the center and just pulled the plastic out from under the bed there was a smell to the bed but nothing heavy or terrible after about 10 minutes I no longer smelled it it expanded really fast and within 2/3 hours it was at 10 the mattress is a great quality and so is the cover for me it's the right amount of firm and softness since it's kind of up to a person's personal preference on how they like to sleep you'll have to take this part of the review at face value but I really have enjoyed sleeping on it ad had the best nights of sleep so far I have had any problem with my experience so far but I will update my review in a couple months to see how this bed holds up and if I notice any synching so far it's been perfect review number six I don't ever write reviews but this bed has earned my time I'm 25 a chronic insomniac with a broken back and I have had a tumultuous relationship with sleep for the past few years that is until now perfectly firm and incredibly comfortable the only downside is you will never want to leave it also if you are human and hate moving mattresses this is amazing easy to move and no worrying about small doorways or needing a truck I'm never getting another normal mattress again review number seven took three days for the chemical foul smell to dissipate once the smell was gone I could appreciate it as a wonderful mattress it feels luxe inexpensive great purchase my pups love it to review number eight I've had this matrice for a few months now it's very comfortable and firm at first I was concerned about the smell it's not a bad smell just strong it took like a month for the smell to go away the corner of the matrice does not fill the lining up but it's not making any difference I can sit on the edge of the bed without sinking down too much I like the firmness because it doesn't sink down and gives me support I'm going to get one for my daughter in a twin review number one okay only a four star right now because I just got it first off it popped up to ten inches almost immediately second I see some people complain about foam mattress corners no filling out people if you kind of tug on the foam underneath the cover and straighten out the cover since this one is removable then they should pretty much fill out completely now for that cover it's amazing I figured it would be soso and that wouldn't really matter because it will have a fitted sheet over it but now I almost don't want to put on because the cover is so nice I am very impressed with the visco latex layer again I thought it'll probably bounce back a little faster than memory foam I was wrong I tried out latex mattresses and it acts pretty much the same way
The most expensive on the list has the same Black technology as the Alexia but with some extras. It has black ice foam-latex to relieve pressure points from the pocketed coils and keep you cool by dissipating body heat.
It's 14" high and has a 10-year warranty. It has large coils for a firmer feel. The inner has a micro-diamond construction that adds ventilation and keeps the surface cool.
Key Features:
- Multiple layers
- Diamond ventilation
- Pocketed Coils
- Hybrid Design
- 14" high
With a lot of fancy technology, this has very firm comfort and a plush, luxury feel. The inner adds cloud-like comfort without sacrificing support.
This is arguably a very overinflated product as it's got a ridiculous price tag that's many times any of the others without really providing any difference in technology.
It's essentially a hybrid with some fancy names thrown in and costs as much as a car! This isn't really worth the massive price tag at all.

hey everyone I'm Jeff Rizzo and today we're doing a review of the Simmons Beautyrest black mattress which is really the quintessential luxury mattress out there in fact if you go to most mattress stores this is probably going to be the high-end mattress that you have an opportunity to try out you know syrtis Simmons they are one of the largest bedding manufacturers in the world they've been in business since like 1870 they know what they're doing and they really created the Beautyrest black line to show off like the latest and greatest in terms of materials and mattress tech but if you notice I said Beautyrest black line and not mattress and that's because there are actually like nine different models within the Beautyrest black lineup and naturally this has confused a lot of people which is probably the reason that you're watching this video but it also means that they have a mattress for pretty much everybody now most of the models they come in different firmness levels with or without pillow tops and at different price points but to simplify things for today's video because that is a lot to cover we're gonna go over what you can expect from all of the Beautyrest black mattresses and then we're gonna hone in on probably the most popular mattress and do a deeper dive on that one we will also post our individual review down below in the description that is an entire long post that you'll probably want to check out and if you do enjoy the video and you find a helpful make sure to give us a thumbs up and consider sharing this with friends I mean after all we put a ton of time into our work we have an entire 12 person team and we did all this for free so hopefully it's helpful if it is thumbs up share see you in a second [Music] okay so the Beautyrest black line up you can order both in store and online through us mattress com if you order online you get free delivery free in-home setup and some sort of trial period although that does change it looks like season two season so check the link in the description to see you know what sort of offers that they have right now also I did notice that they have certain incentives like as a date we're doing this video they had like I think was a $300 Visa gift card if you ordered the mattress through u.s. mattress so just check that out as for how these mattresses are constructed there's really three things that you'll see across all Beautyrest black beds the first thing is a special support framework this is called their advanced pocketed coil technology and it's apparently exclusive to the black lineup what's special here is that these are individually wrapped coils and therefore they're better at isolating motion than your traditional inner spring system these are also braided so they have three strands per coil and that helps to supposedly make them stronger and more resilient this will be mostly important to heavier individuals or anybody that really plans to keep their bed for like 15 years or longer the second thing you'll see with all of the beds is some sort of gel memory foam which makes up the majority of the cushioning layers you can see micro Diamond memory foam gel touch foam or black ice memory foam these are usually buried below other layers of different materials so to be honest with you they don't really help to keep the bed especially cool but just for marketing and to prevent the beds from warming up excessively now the third thing is some sort of like surface cool textile that's supposed to draw body heat away from the mattress now we think the Beautyrest black sleeps more neutral it's not really cool but that's probably a good thing if you're trying to please the vast majority of people out there and as a disclaimer as you probably know there are a lot of things that impact temperature regulation of a bed like for example the room temperature is probably the most important thing also the sleeping position and the firmness of the bed so the firm of the bed and where you sleep on top of it and the less like material kind of touches your body the cooler you'll sleep at night but those are the three things in terms of construction that you can expect from all of the different beds of course there are other things like they are clearly very well made they're thicker they're more responsive they're better able to handle heavier individuals generally they are more expensive but I don't really think people are gonna get sticker shock because you know this is a premium mattress now as far as which Beautyrest black mattress is most popular that's probably the Natasha lineup I'll link that down below in the description and specifically it's probably the plush pillow top version so this bed has that pocketed support coil system it has black ice memory foam latex film which is a more responsive film and then a softer pillow top overall it is a very thick mattress it's about a medium soft or medium on that firmness scale and we think this one is particularly good for side sleepers and combination sleepers that tend to rotate positions at night if you're a strict back or stomach sleeper you may want to look into the firmer option in that Natasha lineup which I'll link down below in the description as for how the bed actually feels well it feels like exactly what it is a thick inner spring bed with a really soft nice pillow top it's very comfortable it hugs your body you definitely sleep more in the mattress versus on the mattress which is why we say it's best for side and combo sleepers it has great edge support which is really important for couples and edge support just refers to how well the bed keeps you on the bed so if you find yourself sleeping along the perimeter sometimes you'll get a roll-off sensation this has such good edge support because it is foam encased it'll keep you on the bed this is really important for couples sleeping on a smaller sized bed so thumbs up they're also motion isolation it's good it's not great this again is mostly important for couples anybody that's really active in their sleep you'll tend to kind of you know mess with your partner awake your partner up you usually want a bed that's really really good in terms of motion isolation this particular one it's just okay because it does have those coils but I think for the vast majority of people unless you kick like a mule in your sleep it'll be good now also as I mentioned before this is a thick heavy mattress very well made it does have handles and if you get it through us mattress they do offer that free in-home setup so that way you don't need to worry about sending up someone else brings it there and you know sets it all up and all you don't want to throw out your back hitting your brand new mattress so that's the Beautyrest black lineup of mattresses yes they have a number of them it can be confusing in general they are very well made they're nice mattresses there's a lot to consider in terms of firmness pillowtop sleeper type and all of that I think what most people do is they end up going with that Natasha lineup because it's a nice balance between being premium yet still relatively affordable it's for people that want a really nice mattress but they don't want to spend an absolute fortune on it so that's our review of the Beautyrest black lineup of mattresses yes we didn't cover them all it would be really hard to do that in one video but I do hope this one was helpful for you when you're looking for a beauty rest black mattress you're gonna probably come across these things thick supportive coils memory foam and some sort of option to have a pillow top or no pillow top they'll work for all sleeper types as long as you line up that firmness level with your preferred sleeping position ie get the plush version if you sleep a little bit more on your side get a little bit of a firmer version if you sleep more on your back or your stomach let me know what you think write us down below in the comments and I'll see you guys next time [Music]
Conclusion On The Best Extra Firm Mattress
Finding a firmer-bed is all about comfort. It doesn't matter what technology is used as long as it provides comfortable support.
The biggest decision when choosing an extra firm mattress is whether you want the pillowy hybrids which have additional memory foam, or tight tops which provide no give at all.
This is going to make a huge difference in what you feel is the best extra firm mattress for you.
The Beautyrest Black is undoubtedly expensive without giving you a lot of extra so a more reasonable choice like the Drakesboro (if you can find it) is going to give you similar technology at a tenth of the price.

what's up guys I'm Jeff Rizzo today we're talking about the best firm mattresses that money can buy so we've tested over a hundred beds by now so we have a really good idea of what's gonna be best for somebody that wants a hard or firm mattress whether that's because you have back pain or you just prefer sleeping on your stomach or back we've got some really good selections for you it was pretty difficult to create this list because a lot of companies offer firm beds but I think your next bed is gonna be on this list and if you find the list helpful and you recognize hey these guys put this out there for free they provide all their content for free they're trying to do good work there's a lot of shady business in this industry give us a big ol thumbs up you can write us in the comment section if you have any further questions and then also because you know it's a video when I try to keep our videos a little bit shorter check down below in the description the text below the video screen there's give me a lot more information all the reviews for all of the beds on this list the full post will put coupons and buyer guides and a bunch of stuff that you should look at down below in the text below the video screen alright I said I was going to keep it shorter so let's get to it [Music] alright let's start with our medium firm pick so we're going with dream cloud dream cloud I think is an underrated mattress it's very very nice it uses micro pocketed coils it transitions up through a numerous layers of memory foam and as a latex foam and then on top here's the kicker it has a cashmere quilted cover that is actually nicer in person than it is in video it's really nice you know at first when I try not to bed I wasn't really sold on it I've definitely warmed up to it like it's a very very nice bed and I like the cover of lots it's gonna start out at about a medium firm maybe a firm or somewhere in that range but all beds soften as you use them and all beds at least their firmness level is subjective so if you're a little bit lighter all these beds are gonna be firmer if you're a little bit heavier all these beds are gonna be softer we develop our firmness ratings based on somebody that weighs 160 to 200 in that range so it's gonna be about a medium firm really comfortable comes with a full year trial period so test it to see if it's what you want if it isn't return it I can tell you that they probably have extremely low return rates otherwise they wouldn't offer a full year trial period our buddy Dylan the guy on our team he actually sleeps on dream cloud or actually slept on dream cloth like nine months and I think he's going back to it he liked it so much so it's a really nice bed pretty affordable price points should have a discount for it down below in the description so check that out but I think it's a really good pick up in that medium firm range now if you need an extra firm mattress there are some that you can choose from most people kind of go up to about a medium firm and stop there but I'm gonna recommend plank now plank is a little bit of a newer bed itself but the company that makes plank the company that backs plank is Brooklyn bedding they've been around forever they make the mattress in their own facility and it's actually really nice it's kind of following standards that you see in like like East Asia and where people want more of a minimalist bed so it's it's only about 10 inches thick it is double-sided though with one side that's super firm one side that's kind of a little bit less firm so you do get two options with one bed to get it right and I think if you know that you want a really firm bed it's going to be a really nice pickup it comes with all the trappings of a bed in a box in terms of free returns and a trial period and all that stuff but you know for the average person that's looking for an extra firm bed I like plank because you get you get two options basically with one bed now our hybrid or innerspring pick is sava and I have to be honest this was the most difficult one to choose because if you launched a hybrid video you know that it was really difficult to pick the best hybrid mattress let alone the best firm hybrid mattress so we picked Safa and we really liked satva but I can tell you that there are about seven other hybrid beds that are really nice that easily could have taken this spot the reason we chose sava is because it's a reputable brand they make a firm model that's pretty firm and a luxury firm that's about a medium firm so they have to kind of firmer options they have organic cotton covers dual coil layers for extra supports and the price point for these is pretty dang low just over a thousand dollars I think it's 1,100 for a queen-size bed that's in the luxury tier now they don't offer free returns so hopefully if you you know what you're getting yourself into and then you probably won't want to return it they do charge 299 dollars if you go to return the bed but I'll tell you Savas flat out one of the best beds you can buy online and for a firm list you know it's hard to leave off because it has two kind of different firmness options the luxury firm I believe they call it the luxury firm and then the proper firm in fact my friend Trenton who lives in Virginia he sleeps on the firm model because he said hey Jeff you know I'm not looking for a cheap bed anymore because you know I've had my first job I'm sort of doing well with my life and I sleep only on my stomach nothing else I want a firm supportive bed that's gonna last me for years and I said here are your options and in Sapa was the one that he won't list so I think Sava is a really really nice bed now if you're looking for a bed that's under $500 that's a good budget pickup that's all as well which is the reason I have also in the room right now so all's well is owned by Walmart and therefore it has Walmart prices it still sells online free shipping free returns trial period and all that stuff and it's made in the United States oddly enough for how nice his bed is it's pretty amazing that it's made in the United States so it's actually made in Arizona believe so it has coiled which is rare to see on a budget to your bed and then it has memory foam on the top but because it's a little bit firmer about a medium firm it's gonna feel more neutral overall it's gonna be a fantastic pickup for people that are shopping on a really tight budget all is well is one of our top five favorite like cheap beds flat out it's just a great bed I can't believe the prices are so low on this thing and rounding out our list is our memory foam picks so anybody that wants a memory foam filled with their bed because you know memory foam is probably the most popular style of bed one or two something like that we chose ghost bed luxe now the reason we chose the looks because there are some other firmer memory foam beds well we we chose this bed because of a couple of reasons one it has the active cooling elements so if you want to sleep a little bit cooler you get that incorporated into the bed it's pretty dang affordable if you get a coupon and we should have one in the description and it's by a reputable brand nature sleep they own ghost bed the guys that started Werner's ladders like the biggest ladder company in the world they started nature sleep so they have a long history of creating like quality products and making consumer products but ghost bed looks about a medium-firm active cooling elements really comfortable does have kind of a quilted cover on it and it's just a nice memory foam bed so that's our list I tried to keep it shorter because I think the list they get up to ten fifteen so I'm like that aren't helpful because it's like how do you pick and again this list was difficult to put together but I really hope that it was helpful and if it was give us a thumbs up and we have plenty of other videos coming in the future check down below in the description for everything tons of stuff related to this video in particular and I'll see you the next one have a great day [Music]

hey everyone I'm Jeff rose up from the summer yard and today we're talking about the best hard and firm mattresses so we here at the slumber yard have reviewed like 80 beds now which is unreal maybe actually even more than 80 anyways a lot of beds and so this video is really an amalgam of which ones we think are the best if you want a hard or a firm mattress so we have a number of different options for you laid out by construction and so hopefully you find it really helpful and you get something out of today's video and if you do make sure to give us a thumbs up maybe you subscribe to our channel we're rolling out a lot of videos that seems like a lot of people really enjoy anyways we really appreciate your support was not a funny business that happens in the mattress industry we're staying above it and we're just trying to do good work so let's get to it [Music] all right so I should start off by saying we did a full list on our website an entire written post on our website that has even more details than today's video so check that out down below in the description there's a lot of stuff that you want to look at in the description below the video screen including probably some coupon codes and other related content so let's get it going with our budget pick which is actually the mattress I'm sitting on right now it is the cocoon mattress by Sealy so we have a number of other picks after this one but if you're really concerned about spending money and you just kind of want a firm mattress but you don't have a lot of money to work with I think this is gonna be one of your better options out there it's a firmer memory foam bed but then you also get your choice between getting a slightly softer one or a slightly firmer one I think you guys will prefer the firmer mattress it has more of a prototypical memory foam feel it does have a little of that stuck in the mud feeling however the firmer one will have less than the softer one because you'll sleep more on top of the mattress and Sealy gives you an additional two options so you can go with the really affordable one which is the cocoon classic or you can get the cocoon chill which incorporates a phase change material in the cover that actively cools you down throughout the night we really like this bed for anybody like I said before that's working with a really restricted budget you're open to memory foam and you want something that's on the firmer end of the spectrum well link our full review down below in the description as well as probably some coupons that'll save you like a hundred bucks or get you some free sheets or something like that all I can tell you is that my best friend in the world Harry Dan he actually sleeps on a cocoon at chill mattress and he really likes that he is a primary stomach sleeper and and it seems to work out great for him and I think it'll work out for a lot of people out there good for college students good for your guest bedroom that sort of thing our next pick is our best hybrid firm mattress and then Asafa so Savas the quintessential online luxury brand it comes with free white glove delivery all the bed ship for free but satva comes with white glove delivery which means someone else brings it to your house they set it up they take away your old mattress and there's no additional charge for that and on top of that the bed just looks really nice in fact my good friend Trenton he lives in Virginia he was like hey I'm a grown-up now and I need a new bed but I like firm mattresses so he went with satva and he got their firm model so they make three different models you've got a softer one you got a medium one and then you have a firm one so Trenton won't with the firm one it is a really really firm mattress you're gonna sleep right on top of that thing there's almost no pressure relief it's built for back and stomach sleepers and it's just a really nice mattress it uses two layers of coils you have inner Springs at the bottom then you have pocketed coils on top and then you have a thin few layers of foam and then it has an organic cotton cover on top so overall it's a really nice mattress if you're looking for a luxury online mattress that I would put in the same tier as like the Beautyrest black and some of those like super really expensive beds that safa only get in the description and our full review our next pick is our Neutral foam pick and that is wink bed so wink bed belongs in the same category of Safa however it has more of a neutral overall feel to it kind of just has a large pillow top on top and there's no distinct memory foam feel no latex feel nothing like that just a softer kind of soft to the touch foam on top so really nice mattress I said this in many other videos it belongs in like the Waldorf Astoria in New York or uneven know if I said that correctly it belongs in a luxury hotel it's a really nice mattress it also has two layers of coils and it comes in a number of different firmness levels I'm gonna recommend that if you want a firmer bed you go with the luxury firm or the firmer option to me wink bed is one of the most overlooked mattresses online it is clearly built very very well it is a nice mattress it's made in the United States and there are myriad other advantages with it including the fact that they make a plus version that's specifically made for heavier individuals I'll link wink bed down below in the description and our full review and probably a coupon code and I'll stop saying that because you can assume there's a bunch of stuff that you should check out in the description our next pick is or latex pick and that is Zen Haven so Zen Haven is made by satva and it is a double-sided all latex mattress so if you don't know about latex foam it is a natural material that's made from the sap of a rubber tree and a lot of people really like it because of the fact that it's natural it also is very responsive it's a little bit earlier than your other foams like memory foam or poly film and it tends to naturally sleep a little bit cooler so what we like about Zen Haven is a it comes with white glove delivery just like sava be you have two options to get it right so not only do you have a medium-firm side but on the other side you have about a medium firm to a firm so basically you have a slightly firmer side and a slightly softer side I think you'll like a slightly firmer side of the bed now it's a 10 inch mattress so it's not made for heavier individuals but if you sleep mostly on your back your stomach and you want a responsive bed that makes it easy to switch between positions at night that's Zen Haven and last but certainly not least is our memory foam pick and that is dream clouds so this is a 15 inch thick mattress that comes with a 365 night trial so you get to try it for an entire year to see if you want it if you want it great if you don't want it you can get all your money back in the first year so this bed combines coils memory foam and latex foam however it's so firm that you can't really tell what types of foams it is using it just feels like a firmer foam bed it's got this nice cashmere cover and I think if you spend most of your night on your stomach in your back you'll be totally fine with this bed you'll really really like this mattress in fact Dylan on our team he actually sleeps on dream cloud and he loves it so it's a really nice mattress and if you're open to memory foam but you don't want like a true memory foam feel then you should definitely check out dream cloud like the other ones I'll link it in the description so that's our list I'd really like to know what you think right it's down below in the comments did we overlook any are there other beds that you would like us to review there's many other beds that we've reviewed on our website so check that out and I'll see you next time have a great day [Music]

Interview with Arts Emergency founder Neil Griffiths.
Arts Emergency is a charity founded in 2011 by comedian Josie Long and campaigner Neil Griffiths. They are working to keep subjects in the Arts and Humanities accessible to everyone who wants to study them, regardless of barriers and perceived barriers. I spoke to Neil Griffiths about the aims and motivations of the organisation.
What is Arts Emergency? What's your goal and how did you start out?
Josie came into my office with an idea for helping at least one student from Hackney Borough (where she lived) to go to university, study the arts, and come out without debt. She thought that was an important thing she wanted to do. We felt that rather than start up a kind of bursary for a limited number of people, we should be looking at the bigger picture and to aim to help as many people as possible in the most useful…
