Pressure Test Results

The L-Class Firm mattress was tested with petite, average, and large body size people on their side and back sleeping positions to see what kind of support and comfort you can expect. (Learn how we test.) 

Not surprisingly (because this is an extra firm mattress) this bed exhibited multiple excessive pressure points on some of the bodies, particularly in the side sleeping position while testing.  As you can see in the images below there are good-sized areas of red and yellow on the shoulders and hips of the larger and average-sized bodies. 

How we can tell that is by interpreting the colors shown in the images where red shows excessive amounts of pressure and yellow demonstrates an increase in pressure.  Ideally, we want to see large areas of green and light blue which show you where the bed is giving that person great pressure relief and back support. 

The pressure test results for this mattress are not yet available but it will be available soon. Below is just an example

Conclusion

The Black L-Class Firm mattress is a very firm-feeling bed so it'll only appeal to you if you prefer a firmer bed.  It's the cheapest Beautyrest Black mattress, so it's a relatively good value from this Collection.

Since the mattress is very firm, you should only consider this model if you like harder beds, or if you like sleeping on your stomach (firmer beds are best for stomach sleepers.)  This mattress is not recommedned for side sleepers or back sleepers, particularly larger-sized people.

The bed has premium features like the BlackICE with Plant-Based Cooling Technology that help to keep the bed cool.  It also has a Zoned T3 Pocketed Coil design which is a variable stage coil to give increasing support under the heaviest part of your body.  And even though this model is firmer, it does have several layers of conforming and supportive foams.  So if you like a firmer bed and want luxury features, this model is one to give serious consideration.
