Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm

GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • Want a very firm mattress
  • Are mainly a stomach sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for back sleepers)
  • Regularly sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is excellent)
  • Have a clear preference for sleeping 'on' your mattress rather than 'in' it
  • Want a mattress that helps you stay cool while you sleep
  • Prefer a below average amount of 'memory feel'
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
  • Don't like a lot of bounce in your mattress
  • Can be easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (though motion isolation is still OK)
  • May use this mattress on an adjustable base (adjustable base compatibility isn't the best, but is still pretty good)
  • Prefer some softness in your mattress
Sounds good so far? Get the full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm

  • In our evaluation of the Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm mattress, we found it to be a Very Firm (2) on the GoodBed rating scale (1= firmest, 9 = softest).
  • Yes, the Beautyrest Black Series 1 Extra Firm mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty.

Overall, we found the Black Series One Extra Firm to have pretty good adjustable base compatibility.
