2nd one is junk; 1st one already replaced under warranty

We originally purchased this mattress in December, 2016. The top and side layers broke down in the spots where we sleep within 9 months and our backs were sore from sleeping on it. It was replaced under warranty in September, 2107. We have been sleeping on the 2nd one for approximately 9 months and are in process of filing another warranty claim. Seems to be the same problem approximately anyway. This time, it's noticeably sagging on top and bulging out on the side. Very disappointed! These are expensive!!!

Biggest Pain in the Back

This mattress is great quality and definitely keeps you cool but the comfort level is very low. I wake up with lower back pains every morning and with my previous bed that never happened. I think the bed is to firm. It doesn't allow for enough of my body to sink into it.

wake up feeling like I've been in a auto accident

Never in my life have I experienced such all over pain. Kept waking up with my arms and hands asleep. And the feeling of trying to move in quick sand, its like you fight all night to get your body comfortable. Not to mentions this mattress doesn't breath at all, sooooo HOT, and it's winter. I've slept on the bed five days to see if maybe I just needed to adjust, NOPE, it's getting returned ASAP!!!! Miserable :(

Lumpy with weak sidewalls

Very disappointed as I have to go and buy a new mattress when I thought this one would last a while. Did not get a warranty on it as the furniture store had problems delivering a California King to the upstairs of my house. First few months, it was a dream....after a year it has become a nightmare!

sleeping on potholes

This was supposed to be the top of the line mattress at Sears. with in a month i started to feel sagging in various spots. I called Sears to complain about the quality, but because I didn't notify them within the 60 day window, the refused to replace. They will not send anyone out to look at it. They wanted pictures, so I sent them. they said there were stains- which there is NONE. My camera cast shadows so the denied the claim. The mattress is soo bad, I had to buy a new one while still paying off this one. The lumps/sagging is everywhere. I am not a heavy person so that was not the cause. Unfortunately Beautyrest says I must go through Sears. Sears has the worst customer service I have ever come across. Do not buy this bed and do not buy any bed through sears!

Developed body impressions

We were out for a firm mattress and communicated that to the sales person. Also take note that "firm" is in the name of the mattress. We had this brand new mattress less then 2 weeks and it developed body impressions an inch deep (measured without a body in it, so it significantly deeper when we were in them). Because of these body impressions we cannot comfortably lay together, spoon, or lay at a different angle from the body impression. The body impressions hold us in place and separate from each other. The dip pushes my husband's shoulders up and he sleeps worse than he did on our old coil mattress. These body impressions do not currently meet the warranty card specifications so Simmons isn't doing anything about it. They recommended we rotate it to even things out and was told by a representative that "these impressions are ok" Reminder we had the mattress less than 2 weeks before the impressions showed up. The mattress was a dream for about a week and we are very disappointed at how everything turned out.

Just the Right Support

Luxury firm is the right firmness for me. Our prior mattress was too soft and some of the ones we tried in the store were too firm. This one seems to be just right so far. Very comfortable but it does not feel like there is any cooling or ventilation. Overall a very good mattress.

Restful Sleep at Last!!!

After 15 years of searching for the perfect mattress and more than spending $20,000 on various mattresses (8 to be exact), I found the most ideal one when I came across the Simmons Beautyrest Black Hybrid Gladney 14" luxury firm mattress at a nearby Mattress Firm store. I sustained several herniated discs & stenosis and joint injuries during my active duty military career which made for extremely restless nights. This mattress is the right combination of soft and firm to provide comfort to my joints and stability to my spine! I feel blessed to have finally found a mattress that allows me to effectively manage my back issues without making them worse!
