I’m struggling with the same thing! I just had a beautyrest world class level 3 extra firm mattress delivered yesterday. It was very comfortable and just the perfect firmness, but I noticed in the morning there was already a slight indentation (as deep as the width of a straw, so very minimal) around my hips area. The mattress has a few layers of high density gel memory foam, which worries me. I called customer support and they said the memory foam should return to its original thickness, but it definitely didn’t recover fully. I’ll see how it goes with more nights of sleep. If I return this I’ll need to find a replacement!

Yep. One reviewer says a bed is the hardest thing ever. Next reviewer sent it back due to being too soft. On and on it goes. Most reviews seem to be on bed in a bag type stuff. Since Covid, quality has died basically, except for Weber grills. I had a Serta Perfect Sleeper that was great for 7 years then started needing replaced. I doubt I'll find another like it that will last 5 years. Everyone is pushing bed in a bag. I settled on Saatva and ordered their luxury firm...but then got note it's going to be another 3 weeks yet. Forget it. I canceled and told them I'll go to Macy's. I am looking now at the Stearns and Foster Luxe Estate tight top. I am 229 so need something to hold up better for heavier people. My Serta did and I took old advisement from a mattress forum to get a firm bed and a 3" talaly topper. This time, I am going to get a medium bed and the 3" talalay latex topper....in medium. Just change out the topper when needed after a few years. The S&F Luxe Estate is supposed to hold up well for heavier folks. Better than the Saatva from what I can see. If not the S&F mattress...then the Beautyrest Black. I'll try them both out tomorrow.

Went to Macy's and tried a lot of beds. Thought I was going to either purchase the Beautyrest World Class level 4 medium or S&F Luxe Estate medium. We tried those out and others. We kept coming back to the Beautyrest World Class level 3 medium firm. Non pillow top, in king. Tried it out for 15 mins at the end and liked it. Side sleepers here, and a bit heavier. We felt zero pressure points I nearly fell asleep. Comfy. Of course that is broken in a bit. Deal there was free box springs(we chose low profile 5" ones) and delivery with 25 dollar pickup of old bed and foundation. $1684 and change out the door. Deal for us. We changed to the level 3 once we saw what level 4 top looked like. It would compete on our 3" talalay topper. They will deliver it early next week so very fast. Sales guy was very knowledgeable on beds. Gave us a lot of tips to prevent the king ridge. Went through other beds, too, with him. He talked about breaking the bed in and how to do that faster as well as a rotation schedule. 4 months test on it. 2 months to break it in and 2 months to try out. We tried out every Beautyrest black they had and could not find a comfortable one for us. Too squishy on most of them. One was hard as a rock. Even tested tempurpedics. We didn't like those at all. I'll update you once we get the bed. (With quality since covid, I'd be happy to get 5 solid years out of this bed. More will be a bonus!)

Got the bed yesterday, medium firm, Beautyrest World Class Level 3. Firm for sure. more firm than medium firm. I slept OK. My back did not hurt me upon waking. I thought that was great. It's not broken in yet. I will put a 3" talalay topper on but the sales guy said don't do it for 2-3 weeks. Keep breaking it in before doing that. That seems to be the advisement on most bed sites, too. I slept fine I thought and it was great waking up with no backache. My wife didn't have the same experience. Spouse is a bit heavier than I am and complained on it being too firm. We are both side sleepers. I think this bed will be nice from what I can tell. Almost zero motion transfer. Sales guy said to walk all over bed for 5 mins a day. I'll do that, too. All in all, I am pleased on this bed and saved a lot of money vs the Saatva I had ordered but cancelled due to taking them forever.

Beautyrest BR1000 from Costco if you like medium firm or extra firm mattresses. It’s the same at the Beautyrest WC3 if you don’t have Costco membership. Had it for over a week and really enjoyed my sleep.

We bought a sterns and foster a couple years ago and it did just as you described. Sagged within months and gave us back pain. We replaced it with a hotel collection aireloom hybrid mattress and it’s been great. We also have a beauty rest world class hybrid in our guest room and it’s a GREAT mattress. I also slept on a tuft and needle mattress at a vacation rental that was amazing. There are good mattresses out there.

It’s honestly a great mattress. All our guests rave about it and we used it when the sterns and foster we got for our primary made our back hurt until we could replace that one. Would have taken it into the primary to just use it full time but it’s a queen and our primary is king.

Yep just a strange dynamic. My last mattress was a beautyrest world class plush tight top, and it was wonderful for about 8 years. Saw beautyrest brought the line back for 2025, so I ordered one yesterday. Hopefully it works out well for me, as this has been an exhausting journey.

If you're looking at Beautyrest, the World Class models are better than the PressureSmarts IMO. Also if that's a screen grab from Mattress To Go, they should have other firm options as well. Generally you want to look for higher density poly foams around 1.8lbs. Memory foam densities are somewhat less important, although something around 3-4lbs is usually best.
