Firmness Info

The mattress for those who love the feeling of truly luxurious sleep and are looking for a medium-firm feel, essential cooling and pressure relief features. This mattress has two upgrade options available:

  1. Cooling Upgrade: If you're looking for a medium-firm feel, but tend to be a hot sleeper or live in a warmer environment, our Beautyrest Black with Cooling Upgrade is perfect for you.
  2. Cooling + Comfort Upgrade: This mattress is for those looking for the pressure relief of a plush pillow top without sacrificing cool sleep.

On a scale of 10, our mattress has a 6.5 firmness level. We like to refer to it as a "medium firm" - soft at the top, firmer in the middle.
