I just went through the mattress gauntlet when my back gave up on our old one. A mattress topper bought us a few years but then it was time. We ended up with a dreamcloud hybrid (base model). We’ve had a foam for over 20 years and I wanted the springier feel of our guest bed which has springs, is an old Serta beautyrest or something. Knee between the legs. Supportive neck pillow. I have gotten a few of those weirdly shaped pillows off the internet. They work but don’t last very long (6 months?). I have been milking them for every last drop and then get a new one. Btw, I am a huge believer in PT and mobility. I think anyone can benefit at any time. However, I slept on the guest bed, my back/hips were fine. If I slept on the old bed my back was horrible. PT/stretching, etc was not going to fix that. Sometimes it’s just literally the mattress. I have a WILD story that I was in denial and my back pain was so bad one night it triggered my vaso-vagal response (that’s when someone passes out in response to pain or injury or blood) and I ended up with a concussion. I cannot make this crap up! So we ended up getting a new mattress… 🙈 my back is now up to its normal antics and not make you pass out in the middle of the night spasms antics
I tried both the black, hotel and trilliant mattresses at the store. For me I liked trilliant, followed by hotel, then black. Anything notable about those? I’ve read the customer service on the beauty test can be less than great.

We bought a Beautyrest Hotel and it is the best mattress we've ever had. Like best sleeps EVER
I side sleep hubby sleeps on his back and neither of us has any complaints. Edit someone mention going into a mattress store and I do agree. It makes a difference knowing how they feel.
The maine concern I have here is you're looking at firm mattresses but you sleep on your side. Id look into a hybrid firm or a innerspring medium no pillow top to start. If you want high quality and good warranty. Go to any mattress firm and try a Beauty rest black medium and a tempurpedic medium hybrid. Side sleepers do not need a firm bed.
So get it warrantied. If you got it from a repuptable dealer it'll have a 10 year warranty. Theres always a lemon in a million. Also you said shor period of time? Like suring a break in period? Every mattress is going to have an impression especially between 30 and 120 days. These beds have insanley strong steel coils and foams. Make sure its actually the series 3 that been out for maybe a year now. The older series 3 with natural materials are garbage.
I hate beautyrest Black medium. There is no support. It's going back after the holidays, even though it's going to cost me in restocking fees.
I have a 2024 beautyrest black pillow top! I will admit it did start sagging within only a couple of months. It’s still super comfortable and it doesn’t bother me, but I can see why that would be a dealbreaker for someone else.
I have a Beautyrest Black Pillow top and when it comes time to replace it, I'll be replacing it with the same thing. Fucker is huge, bulky, and expensive. But I never have back pain when I wake up, unlike every hotel I've ever stayed at.
We have a beautyrest black pillowtop and we bought a 3 inch memory foam topper.
